Eating and Drinking in Ljubljana

50 Shades of Green: Introducing Ljubljana.

As a city where a glass of local wine will often cost less than a fruit juice, I instantly felt Ljubljana was a place where I could stay a while.
Slovenian cuisine is typical of central Europe in that meat, sausage, dumplings and potatoes feature heavily on the menu.  There’s also, however, an Italian influence, with gnocchi, risottos, pastas, and particularly mushrooms and truffles making common appearances on restaurant menus, and usually at very reasonable prices!
In Ljubljana itself there are some more vegetarian friendly options – the Organic Garden in the centre of town caters to Vegans and Veggies alike (there’s also another branch next to the Tivoli Park, which I did not check out).

In Ljubljana itself, most people head to the riverside or nearby streets to eat.   at the end of September, the area was very busy, and it gets even busier in summer.  For those looking for more tranquility, there are options a short walk away that are quieter.  we personally loved the Trubajeva Cesta, lined with cafes, bars and eateries, for it’s range of food from all over the world and arty atmosphere.

The costume of Gorenjska, which is one of the traditional regions of Slovenia

  The costume of the region of Gorenjska in Slovenia. In English, this region is sometimes called Upper Carniola. Slovenia is the northernmost part of the former Yugoslavia. The capitol is Ljubljana, and this is their flag. The Slovenian language has around 50 dialects, spoken throughout Slovenia, and in neighboring parts of Italy, Austria, and Hungary. On the southern border, the Slovenian language intergrades with the Kaj dialects of Croatia. In fact, the Kaj dialects are closer to Slovene than they are to the Shto dialect of Beograd. The Slovenes calle their nation Slovensko, which is confusing, because the Slovaks also call their nation Slovensko. Be careful of this, I have seen Slovaks online identified as Slovenian because of this.                                                                  The ...

Hiiumaa Military Museum

The Hiiumaa Military Museum was established in 2007 in the former border guard station of Tahkuna. The museum takes pride in its collection of coastal defense cannons – featuring 180 mm, 130 mm and 100 mm cannon barrels. The outdoor exhibition includes armoured personnel carriers BTR-70, BRDM-2, ZIL-157, GAZ-66 and other vehicles, a reconstruction of the border strip, civil defence shelter, border guard speedboat, sea mines, anti-tank gun, border guard viewing platform, radar and radio masts.  The diesel house features a fully equipped diesel generator, as well as fuel tanks and canisters. In the museum's main building, the preserved marine observation radar, in use until 2005, still stands in its original place. The museum has held exhibitions of cannon projectiles and shell casings, helmets, hats and uniforms, communication devices, educational posters, and civil defence equipment. It also has a furnished barracks corner with an iron bunk bed, a Communist dedicati...
