Attend a concert in Križanke

Not many concert venues have a history as unique as Križanke. The most well-known outdoor venue in Ljubljana was a convent for priests and seminarians until the mid-twentieth-century. At that time, local authorities assigned Jožef Plečnik (the most known Slovenian architect of all time), to remodel the convent into a cultural venue. Since then, Križanke has hosted many great names from the world of music and theater. One of the most important is the international festival, Druga Godba. For over thirty years this festival has been introducing the less “well-known” artists and their music from across the globe to the audience of Central Europe.

Spend an evening in Metelkova Mesto

Located in the old army barracks, Metelkova Mesto (Metelkova City) is a popular hangout for local youth and those young at heart. Events happening all year round at this Autonomous Cultural Center create the illusion that this city, within a city, never sleeps. Metelkova is home to an art gallery, bars, artists’ studios, designer’s spaces, offices of cultural organizations, concerts venues, and a youth hostel. Besides individual events, Metelkova also hosts annual festivals such as the International Festival of Contemporary Arts – the City of Women, which takes place every year in October.
