Festive December in Ljubljana
Anytime you visit Ljubljana, you will find it charming, but like anywhere else, December brings an even more apealing athmosphere. Christmas decorations and the Festive Fair are already set up, so you don't have to wait no longer! On Festive Fair you can find a vast variety of products suitable for giving as gifts and numerous food and drink stalls (well known especially for offering mulled wine – drinking this warm liquid has become a tradition for Ljubljana's locals and visitors in this time of the year). The combination of decorations, special festive athmosphere and charming Ljubljanica banks will not let you down. But that's not all by far! A number of other festive events will also take place in the center of Ljubljana in December and all are more then worth a visit.
