Overview
Take a trip to Ljubljana on your Slovenia Vacation
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, calls to globetrotters with its enchanting mix of architectural wonder reminiscent of Salzburg in Austria. The city has managed to preserve its time-honoured charm, making it a captivating destination with a historic centre adorned with baroque-style architecture.
Ljubljana's lifeblood is the meandering Ljubljanica River, which gracefully dissects the city. You'll discover an array of enticing restaurants, cafes, bars, and boutique stores along its scenic banks, coming to life with the cheerful chatter of locals and visitors.
Venture beyond the river to the cobblestoned streets with an architectural design taking you back to medieval times. Embark on a brief river cruise and set sail to grasp the essence of Ljubljana, introducing you to the city's ornate and unique bridges. Notable among them are the Triple Bridge, Dragon's Bridge, Cobbler's Bridge, and Butcher's Bridge, each a testament to the city's creative spirit.
The medieval Ljubljana Castle dominates the cityscape, perched atop a hill overlooking the city. This historic complex has evolved with 16th and 17th-century architectural elements and now serves as a vibrant cultural venue with two scenic restaurants after being built as a fortress in the 11th century.

The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
The Pyrenean Mountain scenery and tax-free shopping are two of my favourite things about travelling to Andorra.
I love learning about Nicaragua's culture and experiencing its Spanish influence in some cities. I was only there for five days, but I'll never forget how delicious the food was and how welcoming and extremely polite the people were.
Nicaragua is well known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, lakes, rainforests, and colonial cities. I love how friendly the people are and how delicious the food is! There is always something fun to do in Nicaragua!
Festival de Los Farolitos is an annual nighttime festival held every September in the town of Ataco, where the streets, houses, and plazas are illuminated with thousands of handmade lanterns (farolitos). Families craft them using colored paper, wood, calabash gourds, or jars, each with a candle inside. Although it's tied to the eve of the Virgin Mary’s birthday, it has evolved into a cultural celebration of community, light, creativity, and town pride.
