We don't take a trip, a trip takes us.

Everywhere and anywhere we go, John Steinback's quote resonates with us. When we travel, we always have a presumption of what the place is all about, or what will happen to any trip, but every time, no matter what it usually never happens and end up always blown away by something even better. This is what Ljubljana is for us.
Ljubljana is often dubbed as the next "IT" city in Europe but its taking a long time for it to be popular. Truth be told, I do not want it to be the next tourist destination in Europe. I want Ljubljana to preserve its "off-the-beaten path" feel and not to be swarmed with tourists. This is the main reason why we loved our stay and appreciate this little city, we can walk around and appreciate everything without battling the crowds and mind you, this was even during summertime and not a lot of people visiting.
Once you get to the Old Town, it is pretty easy to navigate. Just by walking around, you surely wouldn't miss the most iconic attraction here - The Triple Bridge. Don't be afraid to meander and get lost with the little nooks and crannies of the Old Town - you might discover something exciting. Since we had a car, we opted to stay at a hotel a little bit from the Old Town so we can have a feel of the city itself outside the usual Old Town.
Without any doubt, Ljubjlana can really be the next emerging city in Europe for it has everything to offer - rich history, charming cafes, cultural exhibits, and a castle that overlooks the city. One word to describe Ljubljana - beautiful. It is one hour drive away from the mountains and the sea when you get tired of the city escape. One day this city was the smallest city in Yugoslavia and today, it is the largest in Slovenia. It may sound overrated but truly, Ljubljana is a hidden gem. Go now before it gets spoiled.
