Itinerary

  1. Stop 1

    20 min

    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.

  2. Stop 2

    20 min

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. Ljubljana Old Town

    20 min

    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.

  5. Ljubljana

    20 min

    Wander through cobbled streets and quiet squares of the old town as we make our way uphill toward the castle. Along the route, taste a classic Slovenian sausage, simple and hearty, reflecting the country’s Alpine influences.

  6. Ljubljana Old Town

    20 min

    Reach a traditional restaurant near the castle to enjoy a comforting bowl of Slovenian goulash served with štruklji — delicate, hand-rolled dumplings that have been part of local kitchens for generations. Pair the dish with a glass of Slovenian dessert wine to finish on a rich, indulgent note.

  7. Stop 7

    20 min

    Arrive at Ljubljana Castle, rising above the city. Take in panoramic views over red rooftops and the river below, and close the tour where Ljubljana’s layered history, landscape, and flavours come together.
