    There is something magical about spring. It feels like the first heavy rains of April finally wash away the grey remains of winter and the city seems to turn a thousand shades of green overnight. Ljubljana’s markets follow the spring fashion trend year after year. These days, the market stalls are piled high with colourful fruit, vegetables, and other delicacies available all year round, but there is no doubt that the season’s trendiest colour is green.

Locals recommend

"When we say, 'Let's go for coffee!' it doesn't mean we're going to have a black, bitter, caffeinated drink originating from Ethiopia, which has successfully (even more so than the British) colonized the whole world. No. What we mean is, 'Let's go somewhere and sit for hours while ordering some (non-alcoholic) drink.''
