Ljubljana In Your Pocket ljubljana.inyourpocket.com
The one-time home of the Austrian composer Gustav
Mahler, Ljubljana continues to inspire, nurture and produce
a wide and eclectic mix of creative individuals and groups.
Whether it’s the work of the Slovenian artists Richard
Jakopič or Ivana Kobilca you’re here to see, or if you
simply want to watch the latest Hollywood film, Ljubljana
provides everything you need and more besides. For more
cultural information - including museums, art galleries and
churches - take a look at the Sightseeing section of this
guide.
Cinemas
Foreign films are screened in the original language with
Slovenian subtitles, except for children’s films which are
usually dubbed. Aside from the largest blockbusters, films
tend to open with significant lag with respect to larger
markets, so don’t be surprised to see posters advertising
something realeased months earlier in you own country.
Tickets cost approximately €5.

Cvetličarna Mediapark J-1, Kranjčeva 20, tel. (+386)
59 02 63 27, info@tntevents.net, www.tntevents.net.
More a concert hall than a club, nonetheless Cvetličarna is
a good place to check out on Friday nights. At other times
it opens to host local and foreign bands, often big name
ones, but on Fridays you can enter for free before midnight
and dance to disco or house, mingling and jostling with the
mainly student crowd. The venue itself is big but beyond that
nothing to write home about, but the atmosphere is usually
great and lets face it, a club can have all the funky décor
there is to be had but if it doesn’t have the atmosphere, it
doesn’t have much at all.
Not even we can think up an appropriate caption for this one
