Spring is one of the best times to travel to Ljubljana. The city is finally blanketed in green and new life is all around, locals flock the parks and the cafés open their terraces which are perfect for people watching. As soon as the sun comes out, locals make use of every opportunity to be outdoors. Winters are quite long and dark. Hence, everyone loves to maximize their time in the warm sun.
