Ljubljana Castle and dinner at Strelec

You could say today was our castle and archery day. We were at Bled Castle in the morning and went to Ljubljana Castle in the evening. Months ago, I made reservations at a Michelin star restaurant called Strelec within Ljubljana Castle. Strelec means archer in Slovenian.

While our reservation was for 7 p.m., we went to the castle for 6 p.m. in order to have time to walk around and explore. It was incredibly hot, 29°C, so we did not hike up to reach the castle but took the funicular. The Castle has a long history and has been beautifully restored.

Dinner was on one of the Castle lookouts next to the Archers Tower with a panoramic view of Ljubljana lying below us. We enjoyed a tasting menu that was not only delicious but exceptionally beautifully presented. A night to remember.Read more
