Experience the charm and allure of Slovenia’s cultured capital
Ljubljana is a city of refined Art Nouveau buildings, Baroque churches and elegant bridges. All this is overseen by a castle that rears over the cobbles of the Old Town like a watchful guardian. There is nowhere else quite like it in Europe. Now, one lucky reader can win a four-night break for two in this grand capital with Completely Slovenia.
A guided tour takes you around the city, where you can admire the architecture of Jože Plečnik, who reimagined the capital through the lens of Art Nouveau in the early 20th century. You’ll visit the castle, drift the Ljubljanica River in a traditional wooden barka boat and venture beyond the city to picturesque Lake Bled and its famous island church.
Guests will spend their nights in Hotel Cubo, an elegant escape set in a restored Art Deco apartment building from the 1930s in Ljubljana’s city centre. Each of its 26 uniquely appointed rooms offers modern comforts, from heated floors to smart phones. In addition, you can expect à la carte breakfasts and a personalised concierge service. The hotel also lies just steps from landmarks such as the Triple Bridge and Congress Square.
