What's the capital of Slovenia? (And spell it too!)​



I couldn't have picked a better place to spend my Christmas.  Ljubljana is a beautiful city with a vibrant, bustling, and colourful city centre.  The Christmas market was stretched along the river, and there were different stages setup with live music performances, not to mention stalls after stalls selling holiday goodies, mulled wine, and hot chocolate.  If you want your peace and quiet, saunter around the smaller streets and discover little local restaurants.

Originated from old Slavic name called Ljubovid - meaning "one of a kind", the first thing that catches every visitor's eyes in the city centre is the system of bridges that span across the water causeways.  Not far from these, a short tram ride to the top of the mountain takes you to the castle, with a panoramic view of the entire city.   

到 Ljubljana 過聖誕是一個再好不過的選擇。Ljubljana 的建築物色彩繽紛,市中心熙來攘往,是一個非常活潑的城市。聖誕節期間,市集攤檔滿佈河流的兩岸。聖誕市集除了售賣應節用品外,也有許多稀奇古怪、來自世界各地的小玩意,當中還有冬季非常流行的熱紅酒 (mulled wine) 以及各式各樣的飲品小食,加上到處的樂隊作現場表演助興,在這裏你必定有一個十分熱鬧而又多采多姿的聖誕節;如果你不是那麼喜歡湊熱鬧,漫步於寧靜的小街、在一間精緻的小餐館吃一頓晚飯亦是很不錯的選擇,

Ljubljana 這個名字源於斯拉夫語 ” Ljubovid”,意思是"one of a kind",,亦代表了水道上錯綜複雜的橋樑向四周伸展。如果想看看Ljubljana 壯觀的全景,可以乘坐一程小纜車到山頂,從山頂的城堡欣賞這個美麗的城市。
