If you liked Paris…

You should try visiting Ljubljana, Slovenia! It doesn’t have the Eiffel Tower, but the vibes are all the same!

Reasons you’ll love Ljubljana:

🤍Smallest capital city in Europe, means it feels like a less chaotic version of Paris

🤍Tons of history!

🤍Beautiful river running through the city, with lots of picturesque bridges

🤍Lots of cathedrals, museums, and castles!

🤍Charming ‘pedestrian only’ Old Town

🤍Lots of markets with fresh fruit

🤍Slovenia is a small country, so you can easily venture into the nearby Alps or small towns for a day trip

🤍Make sure to visit majestic Lake Bled!

🤍The KINDEST welcoming people!

🤍So much cheaper!

Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, offers an enchanting mix of old and new, making it a perfect alternative to the hustle and bustle of Paris. Visitors often marvel at its stunning architecture, with Baroque buildings and charming cafés lining the streets. As a pedestrian-friendly city, Ljubljana provides an intimate atmosphere to explore on foot, allowing you to soak in the city's rich history and culture. One of the highlights is the Ljubljanica River, which gracefully winds through the city, adorned with beautiful bridges that offer stunning photo opportunities. Don't miss the iconic Dragon Bridge or the Triple Bridge, both must-see landmarks. The fascinating museums and art galleries showcase Slovenia's vibrant cultural scene, while its many cathedrals and castles provide a glimpse into the country's storied past. A short day trip will lead you to the breathtaking Lake Bled, known for its picturesque island and castle perched atop a hill, offering stunning views. The serene environment encourages activities like hiking, cycling, and picnicking by the water. Plus, don't forget to explore the nearby Julian Alps, a delightful destination for nature lovers. One of the most appealing aspects of Ljubljana is its affordability compared to other European capitals. You can enjoy delicious local cuisine, attend lively markets brimming with fresh produce, and experience the warm hospitality of Slovenians without breaking the bank. So, if you're seeking a magical getaway that combines the charm of Paris with a tranquil atmosphere, Ljubljana, Slovenia is the perfect choice!

A woman walks on a Parisian street holding baguettes, with the Eiffel Tower visible in the background. The image has text overlays 'Paris Mistakes to avoid' and 'lemon8 @famenotrequired', setting the theme for travel tips.

Three baguettes are held up against a Parisian street scene with the Eiffel Tower in the distance. Text overlays 'PAYING FOR THE METRO EACH TIME' and 'Save €€ with the Navigo Pass' highlight a travel tip.

The Eiffel Tower is brightly lit at night. Text overlays 'USING APPLE MAPS' and 'even if you're an avid Apple Maps user, make the switch' advise against using Apple Maps for navigation in Paris.

Paris mistakes I’ll never make again

Paris is an insane city but if you’re not well traveled it can be tricky!! Not using the Navigo Pass: for around $32 USD you can get an unlimited week pass. Even though we only stayed 3 days, this still ended up making the metro SO affordable. Especially since we didn’t know our way around &a
