Step into the lively Central Market of Ljubljana, designed by Jože Plečnik and at the heart of daily city life. Begin with a warm, freshly baked burek, followed by a shared plate of Slovenian cured meats, local cheeses, and house pickles, showcasing the country’s diverse regional flavours.
Stop 2

Continue along the Ljubljanica River as it curves through the old town. Pause at the iconic Triple Bridge, Plečnik’s architectural signature, where three bridges open onto the city’s main square and connect centuries of history with modern Ljubljana.
Stop 3
20 min
Make a stop at a small, family-run speciality shop for a guided tasting of Slovenian olive oil, pumpkin seed oil, and truffles. Learn how these ingredients shape the country’s cuisine, from the coast to the forests, through flavour, tradition, and craft.

Pause in front of Ljubljana’s Town Hall, a striking blend of Gothic and Baroque architecture. Hear stories of the city’s medieval roots, civic traditions, and how food and trade helped shape the historic centre.
