The capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana, has appeared on the list of top 10 winter city breaks in Europe compiled by the British newspaper The Guardian.

The Guardian described Ljubljana as a lively city with 50,000 students and very green, being the 2016 European Green Capital, with traffic restrictions leaving the historic city centre a great strolling and cafe zone. The article also mentions the impressive architecture in the city, including the medieval castle, the baroque Robba fountain, and some very unique bridges. Except for the dining and accommodation facilities, the newspaper also recommends visiting the open-air Central Market and during the festive season also the Christmas Market. The article also mentions Ljubljana as a great base for day trips to ski areas such as Krvavec, which is less than 25 kilometres away.
