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...
Ljubljana
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.
Ljubljana's good old Makalonca is back. But this time in a modern urban guise. The new owners respected Plečnik's architectural heritage and therefore avoided aggressive interventions when renovating the bar, which many people have nostalgic memories of. The space is therefore in itself still a presentation of his work, while at the same time offering enough comfort to quickly become our favorite corner of the city again.
We are only a few days away from a new milestone for Slovenian women's cycling, as the start of the 26th edition of the Giro for women, the Giro Rosa, which is moving beyond the Italian border for the first time, is fast approaching.

Before the race moves to home soil, the first, 102.5 kilometer long stage from Kamnik to Ljubljana will take place a day later.

One of the best and most popular English indie-rock bands is returning to European concert stages with a new album, which will be released in the fall of 2015. They are also returning to Slovenia - after a full Križanke 4 years ago, this time for their first Ljubljana club performance - at Kino Šiška.
Robba - a fresh Ljubljana cafe-bar-restaurant, which can be found in the immediate vicinity of Rob's well - will pamper us with fragrant coffee, colorful daily lunches, tasty snacks, delicious dinners and refreshing cocktails.
The municipality of Ljubljana has launched a socially responsible campaign against vandalism "Man, protect your city, you only have one.", with which it aims to draw attention to the inadmissibility of vandalism and to emphasize the importance of respecting our common public space.
As part of the Spider Slang festival, on June 13 and 14, we will be able to see the premiere performance of the IDEAL dance performance in the Old Town Power Station.
Where not so long ago the constant rumble of printing presses could be heard, today the clinking of glasses, the clinking of utensils and the exuberant laughter of satisfied guests resound.
Not long after the launch of the Ljubljana Beach Volley Challenge volleyball spectacle, which took place on the hot sand on Kongresni trg, the organizers promised that the event would become traditional. And they kept their word, because the international tournament is coming back to the heart of Ljubljana, and volleyball fans will come to their own expense this year between July 30 and August 1, 2015. Last year's event exceeded expectations, and the organizers have only sweet concerns based on the experience, like are, to provide larger stands.
Brit Floyd - the best Pink Floyd tribute band in the world, returns to Europe as part of the Space and Time World Tour. On November 9, they will also stop at the Tivoli Hall in Ljubljana, where they will take us on an extremely sophisticated visual and audio journey through five decades of Pink Floyd.
