Social dancing in Ljubljana Ljubljana is a city with a highly developed dance culture and social dancing is a popular way of spending free time. Dance nights with DJs or live music are regularly held at several popular bars, cafés, and other venues, including dance evenings at Ljubljana Castle , Friday ‘Let’s Dance Together’ dance evenings in the Festivalna dvorana hall , dance evenings in Svetovna dvorana Sputnik , or theatre, cabaret and variety shows in the Kavarna Union café (within Grand Hotel Union), which first opened in 1905.

What about a beer? Ljubljana has a huge amount to offer beer lovers. The choice ranges from renowned international brands to Slovenian brews based on local brewing knowledge. If you would like to take a selection of your favourite beers home with you and lay in a stock to be close at hand when needed, visit a shop. For quite some time Slovenia has had two large breweries. The judgement as to which of the two beer brands, Union or Laško , is better is left entirely to you. When exploring local brews, make sure not to miss those from Slovenian microbreweries,

which produce small amounts of excellent craft beers. Human Fish Brewery , Kratochwill , Pelicon , and Bevog are just a few of the names to look out for if you want to taste some of the must-try craft beers from Slovenian microbreweries. You can also opt for a guided discovery of Ljubljana’s beers. www.visitljubljana.com (Tours and Trips)
