Ljubljana is Slovenia’s charming, walkable capital, known for its riverside old town, lively café culture, and relaxed atmosphere. The city blends historic architecture with a vibrant contemporary arts and food scene, all within easy reach on foot. With its green parks, scenic bridges, and the hilltop Ljubljana Castle overlooking the centre, Ljubljana offers an inviting setting for both focused discussions and time to explore.

Slovenia is a small, safe, and very diverse country in the heart of Europe, where the Alps, the Mediterranean, and the Pannonian plains meet. Despite its compact size, it offers striking landscapes—from mountain valleys and glacial lakes to vineyards, forests, and a short but beautiful Adriatic coastline. The capital, Ljubljana, sits centrally, making it easy to explore highlights such as Lake Bled, the Soča Valley, and the Karst region on day trips. Slovenia is also known for its welcoming atmosphere, strong scientific and cultural traditions, and excellent food and wine.
