A Guide … to Romantic Ljubljana
The spirit of the blossoming spring or early summer mornings and the town’s hustle-bustle, which pervades the historic buildings of the old town of Ljubljana, is without doubt beautifully interwoven with the romantic feel of European cities. Just a few steps away from Grand Hotel Union and the very centre of Ljubljana, you can embark on a proper little adventure, where there will be no shortage of opportunities for some stolen kisses and glances that will remind you of the feelings of first love. We have chosen five experiences that offer all of this and more.
1. A Morning Snack with Culinary Delights from the Market
Between breakfast and lunch, you enjoy a picnic on the banks of the Ljubljanica River or in one of the parks the middle of the town. Among the treats on offer at Ljubljana’s main fruit and vegetable market, which is a very short walk away from Grand Hotel Union, are not only Slovenian flavours, but also culinary delights from other countries. As the European Green Capital, Ljubljana offers a number of enchanting hidden spots for hanging out under the green treetops.
2. A Boat Ride on the Ljubljanica River…
An experience that you will later describe with nothing but superlatives is without a doubt a romantic boat trip on the Ljubljanica River. In addition to picturesque panoramic views the trip provides just about the right amount of intimate atmosphere for some unforgettable kisses.
3. … and a Bike Ride along Its Banks
One of the best things about Ljubljana is its convenient size. The picturesque streets which run from the town centre along the banks of the Ljubljanica are best experienced with rental bikes, which will allow you to discover even those little corners that usually remain hidden from tourists.
4. Sunset from the Ljubljana Castle
For a perfect finish to the day, walk or take the funicular railway to the Ljubljana Castle, which is only a short walk away from Grand Hotel Union. Watch the sunset gently descend over Ljubljana and discover the romance enhanced by the medieval architecture.

The town’s starriest cinema will make your romantic getaway even more special and unforgettable.
