Top Culture Spots in Central Slovenia

I suggest taking the funicular up to the castle, it's such a fun ride and saves you energy for exploring! Just be aware of the ticket line, it can get long.

Check out the cafe for a coffee and cake break. I tried the local cake and it was delicious – perfect treat while overlooking the city!

Make sure to explore the exhibition spaces inside... I spent too much time outside and missed some really cool installations...

If you’re on a budget, pack a picnic. There are plenty of lovely spots around the castle to enjoy lunch with a view.

When you visit, check out the nearby cafes for a coffee. They're usually cheaper than the ones near the main square, and the atmosphere is so nice!

Take a few minutes to explore the area around the bridge. There are pretty little paths and parks just nearby that are perfect for a quiet stroll

If you're into architecture take some time to simply sit and admire the buildings. I found myself discovering small details I missed while walking around.

I suggest visiting Congress Square in the late afternoon, around 5 PM. The light is just perfect for pictures and it’s less crowded then.

I recommend wearing comfy shoes. You'll likely wander around more than you planned. The cobblestone can be a bit tricky.

Consider visiting the square during the week instead of the weekend. It’s way less crowded and you can truly appreciate the space without hassle
