    Ljubljanski Dvor

    Start with a late lunch or early aperitivo at Ljubljanski Dvor. The pizza is a reliable way to fill up before the evening winds down, and the patio gives you a view of the river while you wait for the light to change.

    Roman Ruins

    Walk west to the Roman Ruins. The remains of the City Walls and the entrance gate pillars offer a quiet, historical backdrop. Position yourself to watch the sun dip toward the WSW.

  3. 16:57

    Špajza

    As darkness falls, head to Špajza for dinner. The candlelit rooms provide a warm atmosphere to enjoy traditional cuisine. It is a solid choice for a sit-down meal after the walk.

    Od Žmavca sosed pa ud brata prjatu

    End the night at Od Žmavca sosed pa ud brata prjatu. This bar caters to a creative urban crowd with burgers and drinks. It is a short walk away and a relaxed spot to finish the evening.
