"When were you happiest? "

"A few times when I looked forward to a happy moment or remembered it Never when it was happening..."




The Slovenian capital Ljubljana is a small, romantic city where nature and architecture are intertwined and both are surrounded by music, rivers and bridges.

When the great Slovenian poet France Preseren was writing poems for his hopeless love, Jilija Primic, he could not have known of course that the people of Ljubljana would immortalize their epic romance. As if to preserve the memory of those star-crossed lovers, Presernov Square, smack dab in the middle of the old city, is a meeting place today for the lovers and young people of Ljubljana as well as for tourists.

This small city of the Adriatic and the Balkans, whose name contains the root of the word ‘love’, is without a doubt one of the world’s most romantic. With its tiny squares, ornate buildings, pavements streets and tree-lined streets, it seems to have been designed for lovers. The three- and four-story attached houses along the river, the more ornate homes with cafes, small shops and florists or antique dealers below them, the lovely bridges each one more beautiful than the last, and the squares decked with sculptures make it at the same time a city of art and culture.

In whatever season you go to this amazing city suspended between dream and reality, be sure you have the one you love beside you .)
