Slovenia’s Idrija region at a dedicated
gallery Studio Cipka (Mestni Street 17).
For high-quality Slovene folk art and
glassware, try Darila Rokus (Gosposvetska
Street 1), a little to the north.
Dvorni Bar ( Dvorni Street 2) has an
extensive wine list and is one of many
classy venues serving good drinks and food.
But for a cool retro feel, visit the recently
reopened Daktari Club (Krekov Street 7),
in a former wine cellar which incorporates
part of the Old City wall. For traditional
Slovene dishes, Na Gradu, the restaurant
in the castle itself, is highly regarded. And
it would be unthinkable to leave Ljubljana
without relaxing beneath the willow
branches at one of the city’s riverside cafés.
On summer evenings, there are sometimes
events on the river incorporating fireworks,
dance and other spectacles.
Matija Bulatovic – Owner, Daktari Club
“Daktari Club was closed for six years but
we reopened it in March this year. There’s
a cool, fresh feel inside and people like
to come here and not be bothered by the
television or football. We have a gig every
couple of weeks. I’ve lived in Ljubljana all
my life – the people are nice here. I like the
city because you are always running into
old friends. I also enjoy the green spaces
and the river – it sounds silly, but I just like
to sit and watch it go by.”
