Ljubljana — 3 nights

Sitting astride the Ljubljanica River, Ljubljana is marked with picturesque bridges and a marketplace, designed by the famous architect Jože Plečnik.
Cankarjevo Nabrežje and Ljubljana Castle are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Cathedral of St. Nicholas and National Museum of Contemporary History.

There's much more to do: stop by Ljubljana Old Town, sample the tasty concoctions at Union Experience, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Romarska c. Matere Bozje, and head outdoors with Outdoor Activities.
