Ljubljana - Wednesday, Sept 23rd, 2009
The capital of Slovenia.
A central European city at the juncture of routes and cultures, with a rich cultural heritage and a lively modern beat. A capital city in the true sense of the word - the centre of the political, economic, scientific and cultural life of the Slovene people.
Large enough to have all capital needs, and small enough for people to retain their individuality.
The soul of the city, Baroque Ljubljana, tucked under the green slopes of the mighty castle hill. Secession palaces, the architecture of the world - famous Slovene architect Jože Plečnik.
A city on the banks of the river Ljubljanica, with lovely bridges, parks and green unspoilt nature.
A city open to the world, a city with the creative urge to compete in all fields of economic and cultural life.
