The free walking tour of Ljubljana is something I also highly recommend. My wife and I take those tours in any city that we visit that has one (Lisbon, Portugal was the last). How much you enjoy the tour is completely dependent on the guide that you get, but most are knowledgable and entertaining. As far as how they make money, The accept tips at the end of the tour. The tips are not required, but are very appreciated.

Duuude. What an awesome quick and to the point video for new travelers like me. I’m thinking of flying into Venice Italy, exploring for a few days, then going up to snowboard in the the Dolomites, then loop down to Ljubljana and back to Venice to fly home! Maybe I hit Croatia too… Will definitely make a video on my channel for it!

Good call on the pronunciation 😎🫶🏻
Great video, thanks for sharing your insight and tips. I have never left the USA and I just applied for my passport so I can start seeing new places and perspectives. I am planning to start with a trip to Ljubljana for several days and I would like to take a train to Zagreb for the second half of my trip. Knowing that I can get around speaking English gives me confidence that I can do this. The whole city looks so lovely and clean in your video, I can't wait to see it. One remaining question that I have (not necessarily specific to Ljubljana) but how do you use your cell phone there? Do you buy a sim card and pay for minutes once you are in Slovenia? Do you have to do this again if you switch to a new country like Croatia?
@camdendavid

So glad to hear you're planning a visit! And great question -- I've been using a service called Airalo. They provide something called an eSIM that will give you cellular data when abroad. Keep in mind that it won't allow for texts/calls but it will work for anything that uses cell data (think imessage, whatsapp, facebook messenger, google maps, internet searches, etc.). I always use them and have had a good experience but you shouldn't have any issues buying a physical sim card on arrival (if you'd prefer that option). You have the option to purchase an eSIM for a single country but you can also buy it for the region. That might be your best bet to avoid having to change anything when crossing borders. I hope that all makes sense! Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions :)
Awesome video! Really helpful!Is there a good train connection in Slovenia? Any small slovenian towns nearby for day trips by train?
@camdendavid

Glad it was helpful! Great question -- I've always done the day trips by bus/car. The only train I've used in Ljubljana was going to Zagreb. But maybe a local seeing this will be able to answer this in a more complete way :)

You have some good train connections to other big cities in slovenia and outside (Maribor, Koper.../Budapest...) but the trains in slovenia are generally slow and unreliable.

I am local...Slovenia is full of Russian migrants. Richer are moving to Portorož or Ljubljana - buying properties from 1 to 5 mio euros...middle class is moving to less populated places. But yeah, working in costumer services - russians (and Ukrainians) are quite big group moved here in the period from 2020-2004. My son has 3 new Russian classmates:))

Your pronunciation of Ljubljana, while pretty good for a foreigner, is actually not entirely correct. It's just 3 syllables, Lju-blja-na.
