I am planning to visit Ljubljana. I am very glad to visit Slovakia`s capital in December. is it safe enough to walk in the night-alone?! I here that the tropical climate in Ljubljana is quite something. where can i stay? my budget is not much ( 250 Usd per day ). Will i be able to get an accomodation, (do they have aircondition in europe?) , food and transport for that money? I will stay in Ljubljana 16 days. Gregory. Ps Im flying KLM , is that a danish airline?? Ds

I don't know anything about Ljubljana but I do know that KLM is a Dutch airline.

Here's a good link for Ljubljana: http://www.ljubljana.si/where/welcome.htm

I have heard great things about Ljubljana, however I have not been there yet. But just to clarify, it is not the capital of Slovakia, rather Slovenia. Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia.

Hi, I am living in Slovenia. If you are coming to Slovenia in December the weather will be cool and snowy just like in the Midwest(USA). The city is pretty and has a castle looming in the middle. Many people say this is a small Prague. Only 1.9 million people live in this country so LJU is not a huge city, but a cosy city with several museums and cultural attractions. The entire country is safe. My female Slovenian friend told me that she feels perfectly comfortable walking around at night as do I. Just take normal travel precautions. Hotels: There are several types. High: Lev International 5 stars: 00386 61 133-2155 Mid: Austrotel Kompass (4) 132-6133 Grand Union 308-1270 Holiday Inn 308-1170 Slon Best Western: 170-1100 Low: M 1593-337 Park 133-0546 Turist 132-2343 Motels & Pensions: Motel Kompass:611-200 Lieber 161-2123 Mrk 121-9600 Pri Spornu 727-000 Hostels: there are four, call this number for info: 312-156 You should be VERY ok with 250/day. Food is not very expensive, transportation for bus and train (domestic) range from a few $ to 25$. International train tix are depending on route. For example, round trip to Salzburg is approx $55. Zagreb, Croatia by bus is approx $25 R.t. You will be able to do a lot of little trips. I recommend Zagreb, Venice, Salzburg, Budapest and Vienna. If you are just planning to stay in Lju for the 16 days you may get bored. THe city takes only a day to walk around without going to museums. So, plan some trips! If you need more info let me know. I will visit this page again to check if you reply. Happy traveling. Oh-many people speak English here too! BUT, learn some phrases before you come! The basic phrases are pretty easy! For more info on Slovenia go to DOGPILE.com and type in Slovenia. MJD You will not need air condition in Dec, but HEAT. Only spring and fall are warm.

Go to www.slovenia-tourism.si. At the click of your mouse they will send you some wonderful brouchures which list cheaper pensions and motels. There are maps of slovenia and Ljubljana, etc. There's other stuff out there too on the web, if you mess around with your search engines.
