Lively Ljubljana Ljubljana with about 276,000 inhabitants, is considered a city which suits
everyone from its inhabitants to its numerous visitors as well. Despite the
fact that it ranks among the middle sized European cities, it maintains the
friendliness of a small town, and at the same time possesses all the
characteristics of a metropolis.
Here, at the meeting point of the cultures of the east and the west, the old
interlaces in harmony with the new. In Ljubljana the remainders of all the
five milleniums of its history are preserved, among these is the legacy of
the Roman town of Emona and the Old Town with its medieval castle.
