We were able to visit Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital city
twice--once in the fall with a Viator guide, and once in the
spring when Tracy's sister Alex and our brother-in-law Ed
Sterstein braved Covid 19 travel restrictions to visit us in
Croatia. Both short visits (a day trip and an overnight
stay) focused on the "Old Town," the medieval city center of
Ljubljana. Below is a virtual tour that we made of the
highlights of Ljubljana's "Old Town." It is a beautiful
city and definitely worth spending more than a day or two to
truly take in all the city has to offer. Here is our take on
Ljubljana's "Old Town."

On our initial daytrip to Ljubljana, our Viator guide also took us
on a side trip to Bled Lake and Bled Castle, which may be seen here.
