Godec Pub – Strictly analog!

"Godec Pub" in Ljubljana is without a shadow of a doubt one of the legendary pubs in the city. Pure rock 'n roll, craft beer and no WiFi or TVs! I love it.

Žale – Place of silence

"Žale" Ljubjlana is one more cemetery I love. I promise, I'm not 'black!' This one's truly an outdoor gallery and the Garden of all Saints is spectacular!
