Ljubljana is the capital and the largest city of a small
country in the middle of Europe – Slovenia – which
became independent in 1991, and a member of the
European Union in 2004. Almost in the centre of
this country is the city LJUBLJANA with just under
300,000 inhabitants. It has a pleasant climate, with
mild winters and quite warm summers.
Ljubljana is a green city. It lies amid green
hills and plains, through which winds the green
Ljubljanica River. Let’s take a look!
THE GREEN CITY
At the initiative of the European Commission, Ljubljana
was awarded the title European Green Capital 2016 ,
which is a great honour. Its green areas are
carefully designed for the pleasant and
healthy life of the population of the city
and for the joy of all visitors.
Green areas cover three quarters of all areas of the
city; among them there are four nature parks.
The Green Ring is a 34-km long route around the city,
where 7,000 trees were recently planted.
