Drama Ljubljana

Dramatic coffee place

"Hidden in the National Theater, this charming café offers a peaceful spot for tea or coffee with an international crowd and a lovely Art Nouveau balcony."

Located in the beautiful National Theater Building, this cafe is a true gem. A bit further away, really just a tiny bit away from the most typical touristic routes in Ljubljana, it offers a nice option to drink your coffee or tea peacefully. But don't be surprised if you hear the English or even Czech languages there, as the crowd there can get quite international. You can't miss the building, SNG Drama in Slovenian, as it is very monumental

Actually, it's one of my favorite buildings of Art Nouveau style in Ljubljana, with its calming green colour and cute curvy entrance. When you enter through the main door, below the balcony, turn to the right and follow the staircase to the 1st. floor. If it is warm enough, you should sit on the lovely balcony.

My favorite there is herbal tea named Tea for Bad Weather, and it is served in a teapot with an additional cookie. But of course, you should find your favorite drink.

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!

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.
