It's time to talk about
Ljubljana, the city we that spent just 2h walking around. Once we were going to
meet my first Couchsurfing host that I had in my life in Bled. We just sent a
message to a guy that we found in the Prevoz website to pick us up.
In fact it was really short the time that we spent there. For all
the cities that I've been in Europe, Ljubljana is one most the most beautiful
one that I've been. It's a really green city full of history and nice spots to
see.
It's in fact a prehistorically city where the first inhabitants
arrived there in 2000 B.C. The oldest wooden wheel in the world was found there
in 2002. The land is mentioned in the Prehistoric, Antiquity, Middle ages,
early and late modern and also in the contemporary period. The first time that
the Ljubljana name was mentioned, it was 800 years ago.
It's not just a beautiful historic town, also a really green one.
In 2014 and 2016 Ljubljana won the European Green Capital Award for the
sustainable vision, the rage of urban green measures, the impressive
transportation network and the quality of life there.
After few minutes walking around I could see how green the city
was and the main attractions in a city located in beginning of the Balkans.
I would love to spend longer time there and it's still in my wish
list of cities to visit in Europe, even if I already been there already.
Bled was what I needed in this moment. After visiting middle size
cities, to set down in a quiet village full of nature spots to see was the best
option for the moment. However few hours in Ljubljana bought my heart. I highly
recommend you to stop there, not for just few hours, but for longer. Pictures
can express my feeling better about it.
