    Today we have an included morning city tour of Ljubljana with a local guide. Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and is the heart of the area. The city has a long history, from its origins as a Roman settlement called Emona, through to the Renaissance and the Art Nouveau period. The city is an exceptionally young city for an historical destination as the area is home to many students so from this it is also known as ‘the city of wine and vine’. The city boasts a strong culture, characterised by its architecture from the baroque period. Narrow cobbled street lie squeezed between the castle slopes and the River Ljubljanica.

    Following the guided tour, enjoy free time for exploring Ljubljana Christmas Market. The Ljubljana Christmas Market is well known for its vibrancy and cheerful atmosphere with green festive decorated stalls all selling fine products for that ideal Christmas gift. The locals refer to the markets as the Christmas Fair or ‘the merry December in the Old town’ and you can find countless food and drink stalls offering mulled wine, tea, liqueurs and various grilled dishes. The Christmas Fair offers lots of different accessories including a good choice of headwear, gloves and scarves to keep you warm, or you can sample and purchase local honey, schnapps and confectionery.
