Eating and Drinking in 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.

Christmas Decorations in Slovenia

The creation of nativity scenes is a tradition in Slovenia that dates back several hundred years. Though the creation of nativity scenes to display in the home is common, live publicly viewable nativity scenes have grown in popularity. The best-known live nativity scenes are those in Postojna Cave and at Ljubljana's Franciscan Church on Prešeren Square. Christmas trees are decorated in Slovenia, more often now with purchased decorations than with homemade decorations like in olden times. Evergreen decorations and wreaths are also seen in Slovenia during Christmas time. Santa Claus in Slovenia Slovenia's Santa Claus tradition pulls from many other European traditions. Children in Slovenia can receive gifts from St. Nicholas, Baby Jesus, Santa Claus, or Grandfather Frost. St. Nicholas visits on St. Nicholas Day, December 6. Santa Claus or Baby Jesus visits on Christmas, and Grandfather or Father Frost may appear at the New Year. Other Christmas Tr...

Italian Village Wants to Pay You to Move There

Bormida, a mountain village with a population of just 394, is weighing a plan to offer €2000 ($2,186) to people who transfer their residence there. And once you're there, you can pay as little as €50 ($55) in rent each month for a small place to live. For a larger place, rent would cost €120 ($131). The population of Bormida has been dwindling lately, and the town's mayor, Daniele Galliano, proposed the idea as a way to keep the town going. Galliano posted on Facebook about the plan, emphasizing it's still just that: a plan, and nothing is set in stone. The cheap rent part will be ready in about two months, but the cash bonus is still just an idea he's been floating around, The Independent notes. But because the media frenzy is so crazy now, he joked that he'll have to learn English. Of course, you'd still have to find a job if you mov...
