Sights & Sounds

Sights
Sights and Sounds in Ljubljana Sometimes a nice walk is all you need to wash away the aches and pains from the previous evening's excesses, and Ljubljana's gorgeous Tivoli Park is the perfect place to do just that. It's a real oasis of nature and visitors are often struck by how peaceful the park's atmosphere is. With winding paths and a sea of green grass all around it's easy to get lost here, and we're inclined to think that's a good thing.

Sounds
Ljubljana's youthful fashionistas all like to party at Klub Cirkus. This party-spot is a fiesta of good drinks, good music and good times. It's the biggest club in the city and you'll more than likely find yourselves throwing shapes on the dance floor well into the small hours.
Club Palatium is seriously funky and plays host to some of the city's best DJs as well as exciting up-and-coming music acts with not one, but two floors of partying madness!

In the Diary

February - Cultural Holiday. Why doesn't England have a cultural holiday?!? Slovenia's is great - get free admission to the city's museums and enjoy an exciting variety of theatrical performances.
June - Flow Festival. The city's premiere music festival is absolutely fabulous, featuring big name artists in the vein of the Pet Shop Boys as well as electronic up-and-comers like Metronomy.
June - Ljubljana Festival. This is the Slovenian international arts fiesta! Enjoy amazing performances from the worlds of dance, music and theatre.
November - St. Martin's Day. GoHen wishes there was a celebration of the grape on this scale at home - but for the time being, enjoy this completely unique festival where you can discover Slovenia's amazing wine culture!

Top of the Shops

Ljubljana is so done with communism, and the visually arresting fashion you'll see on the streets and indeed in stores totally reflects that. The girls in Slovenia have a real eye for style and they know a bargain when they see one - which is probably why this city is full of vintage stores. Retro-chic is in fashion across the mainland at the moment and if you're going to dress for the town, you need to give your wardrobe a blast from the past!

Divas Preloved - So, while this vintage shop doesn't have the greatest name, there's plenty of stylish tops and dresses from yesteryear on display that would look great in anybody's wardrobe, as well as designer goods at cut-prices!
Where? Gosposka ulica 3, Ljubljana

Gvant - This beautifully bijou boutique is chock full of cute clothes that aren't quite ready for retirement - if you've ever seen some of your Gran's old clothes and thought they still looked great, then this is for you!
Where? BTC City, Dvorana 3, Ljubljana

Galerija Emporium - Unless you're looking to completely break the bank, you're probably better off resisting a purchase in this luxury department store. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't window shop - at least you can pretend you can afford these stunning wears!
Where? Presernov trg 4b, 1000, Ljubljana

Girls About Town - Getting around Ljubljana...

Ljubljana deserves to be explored on foot, but we understand that a long day in the city, whether you're sightseeing or shopping can actually be seriously tiring! It's times like these where you'll want to make the most of Ljubljana's excellent bus network. Most buses start as early as 3:30am and finish as late as 10:30pm, and you can buy an Urbana card that'll store cash for quick use on the bus that'll save you from foraging for coins in your purses.
Although, soaring through the streets on a Public Bike makes for a great mode of transport too!

Why: Reasons to celebrate a Ljubljana hen party

With 10,000 cultural events a year, over 100 bars and pubs and 14 unforgettable activities Ljubljana really is one of the best European hen party destinations. Small but striking, the capital city has a great climate and benefits from Italy's influence with a tasty cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere. On your weekend, you can get the girls involved in plenty of activities, whether you're looking for relaxation with wine tasting and pampering days or you'd rather get your adrenaline going with go karting and paintball. Ljubljana harnesses all the excitement of the European cities like Prague and Budapest, whilst staying small enough to keep all the best activities, sights and nightlife within walking distance.

Shop: Ljubljana shopping areas & recommendations

Ljubljana's relaxed atmosphere makes shopping a real treat- you can take a leisurely walk down cobbled streets and browse colourful shop windows selling everything from books to fashion. The city centre is home to a number of both high street brands and independent boutiques, most of which can be found on the two streets of Mestni and Stari Trg at the base of Castle Hill. There's also a great range of shops in the maze of streets between Slovenska Cesta and the river, or if you'd rather have a mall experience the BTC City Shopping Centre a few km out of the city centre to explore on your Ljubljana hen party.

Stay: Choosing your Ljubljana accommodation

In terms of location, you and the girls will most likely want to be close to the city centre and the nightlife, activities and sights that come with it. Our group-pleasing hotel options are great for all budgets and needs, whether you're after a cost-cutting 2 star hotel or a city-centre 4 star. In between the two there's some terrific 3 star lodgings to keep the whole group happy because all of our accommodation options have passed stringent tests to ensure they offer hens both comfort and quality.

Party: Where Ljubljana hen parties head after dark

Ljubljana's a party Mecca, with sparkling bars, popular nightclubs and late closing times. During the summer, the cafes and restaurants spread out onto the streets and stay open well into the early hours - the city's main square, Presernov Trg, is often still packed with revellers at 3am. This is the main focal area of Ljubljana's nightlife, with the best bars, clubs and pubs found on the streets around the square. Make sure that you add some pre-planned entertainment options into your evening to ensure that it's unforgettable for the girls and to help you all get a good feel for the area. How about a casino experience or a guided bar crawl from an English-speaking local? Top off your evening with Gueslist Nightclubbing at one of the best nightclubs in the city and your hen party plan is complete! See all of our Ljubljana hen night ideas.

When: The best times to visit Ljubljana

If you're after a golden suntan then head over in July and August, when the average temperature's a pleasant 25 degrees. Temperatures drop to -1̊c in December and January, so if you still want to visit in winter, be sure to bring your thermals! No matter what time of year you visit however, there's bound to be a festival or event on to please locals and visitors alike, whether that's the Wine Fair in February or the Shrovetide celebrations in March. Head over in May for the SKIS Market, where clubs from all over Slovenia gather to present their local food, drinks and sights, or in June for the Ljubljana Jazz Festival and some toe-tapping action. In July the Festival Ljubljana presents a great range of music and theatre, then later on in November the Ljubljana International Film Festival has some great screenings. Ljubljana is magical over December and Christmas - the Holiday Winter Fair provides stalls of Christmas gifts and foods, while the Old Town comes alive with festivities. Whichever month you and the girls head to the Slovenian city, you'll find something going on to make your weekend truly unforgettable.

Lovely Ljubly!
