Center District, Ljubljana

The goal was to "create a clever, entertaining and educational artwork about evolution, space and our place in it," Buljan was quoted as saying by Cankarjev Dom.

According to the head of the theatre and modern dance section at Cankarjev Dom, Andrej Jaklič, the co-production between the SNG Drama Ljubljana theatre, the MGL theatre and Cankarjev Dom is exceptional in many ways.

Let's start our run on the Ljubljana's central meeting point: the Triple Bridge. Here we can see the statue of our most famous poet, France Prešeren with his muse upon him, take a quick look on the open market square behind him on the other side, which we might consider visiting after our run and then turn right and start our journey in the search of our muses along our way.

The RogLab project is a part of the Rog factory, an important industrial centre in the past, that will be turned into a modern creative space.

Festive lighting

Ljubljana Festival - at the heart of your experience

Be there when Christmas lights are switched on in Ljubljana! Following a short festive ceremony and an address by the Mayor of Ljubljana, all the city's festive lights will be turned on simultaneously.

One thing that has definitely helped put Ljubljana on the global tourism map is that the city centre has been turned into a big pedestrianised area and given a through facelift.

With the traffic fumes and noise gone, the locals and visitors can now enjoy the heritage of the city's architect, Jože Plečnik (1872-1957), in all its glory.

The exhibition on Japanese weapons and the warrior culture on the Slovenian soil will showcase museum exhibits as well as pieces from private collections.

Some 50 select pieces of Japanese weapons and protective gear, including state-of-the-art swords and a rare gem, a fully preserved samurai armour, will be on display until 5 November.

The decision to move the first festival evening to Piran came about among other things because of the support of the local community, Rok Košir, a member of the programme board, has told the press.

Aside from plans, photographs and video presentations, the exhibition also features chairs from the Prague castle, a Plečnik-designed lamp and bench, as well as a model based on Plečnik's plan for the Slovenian parliament from 1947.
