Copenhagen is still a city that every cyclist wants to live in. A new ranking of the world's bicycle-friendly cities, the 2015 Copenhagenize Index, puts the Danish capital in first place. Out of more than a hundred world cities, they compiled a list of the best twenty, and our beautiful Ljubljana also made it to the excellent 13th place!

The newly opened vegan restaurant Nyama, which opened its doors just a stone's throw from the center, on Streliška Street in Ljubljana, is the first vegan haven in Ljubljana. The ice has now been broken even in the capital, where until now vegans mostly had to perform "acrobatics" with menus in order to get what they wanted while dining out. Now there is no need to mix side dishes and "cheer" for Asian restaurants, where the menus are the most suitable for vegans, because Nyama offers everything they have always wanted. And more.

From August 28 to December 3, the popular graphics biennale will be held in Ljubljana, which this year will mark its 60th anniversary since the beginning of its operation in 1955. The 31st international graphics biennial will be held under the central theme "Above you/you".

The Italian star Eros Ramazzotti, the master of timeless hits that got under our skin, is coming to Ljubljana again!

On the third weekend in July, we stay at home, because the festival of the duo that many people love - beer and burger - returns to Pogačarjev trg. This time in a summer version and therefore even sweeter...
The restaurant Slovenska hiša opened its doors on Cankarjev embankment, in the heart of the city center. The space is relaxing, where we will breathe the air of the alpine meadows and the proud spruces of the native forest. A space in which we retreat to an idyllic urban refuge from urbanity before the pulse of the city.
