Ljublijana Central Market
Sidebar: By the way, I know that this is how "Ljubljana" is written correctly. To ensure that as many Slovenia Lovers as possible will find this website I have used on this page mostly the wrong spelling - to catch also those 10 % of visitors who write Slovenia's capital wrongly like that: "Ljublijana". Designed by Joze PlecnikThe Central Market was designed by Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, and was built between 1940 and 1944, making it an interesting oddity of wartime, pre-Communist construction.Nearby the Ljubljanica riverOverlooking the Ljubljanica River, it includes a closed and open-air space, and takes maximum advantage of its location with a row of riverfront stalls and large, semi-circular windows.What is more, the market is situated in the heart of old Ljubljana, surrounded by lovely Baroque buildings and in the shadow of the city’s ancient castle. Perfect perch for people-watchingWares for sale include the usual fruits, vegetables, spices of a market of this kind, but also Slovene specialties such as prosciutto and the potica cake. Like markets everywhere, it is a perfect perch for people-watching.Getting there and hoursGetting to the market is easy, given its central location. If you can find your way to the river and the famous Tromostovje, or Triple Bridge, the Central Market is right next door.The market is open 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday, or 8am to 4pm in the winter. It is closed Sundays. back from "this" page to Ljubljana Overview back from "ljublijana" central market page to All Slovenia Holidays
