Venice needs no introduction. A beautiful city of canals and lavish facades with a rich history.  Ljubljana (pronounced lyoob-lyee-AH-nah) is the capital of a Slovenia, but it is small and pretty, easy to get around, and full of surprises. With a lazy old town clustered around a castle-topped mountain, it’s biggest attraction is its ambience. The city is remarkable for its rich tradition, youthful vibrancy, cultural creativity, feel for entertainment, and numerous green spaces.  Ljubljana has preserved evidence of all the five millennia of its history, from the remains of the Roman city of Emona and the old city centre with its medieval castle to the beautiful buildings with Baroque façades, decorative portals and uneven roofs. Other significant bits in the mosaic of Ljubljana are its picturesque bridges across the river Ljubljana and its vast Tivoli park, stretching into the very city centre. Most sights are either on or just a short walk from the river. Our Hotel Lev is in a perfect location just a 5 minute walk to the center of town and a 5 minute walk to Tivoli Park.  The Hotel Lev is located in the historic old town of Ljubljana capital of Slovenia. The Hilton Garden Inn is located on the coast in Mestre, just a short 10 minute bus ride to the center of Venice.
