Postaja Centralna

Ljubljana


This classy place tries – and largely succeeds – at being just about everything to everyone. It’s a slightly louche cocktail bar, with street-art tags on the walls and lots of dazzling neon, a club with DJs at the weekend, a cafe with its own homemade fruit teas and a restaurant with burgers.

Anything else? Oh, yes, it's also a gallery where anyone can exhibit and an information centre with a surfeit of brochures and two computers for plotting your next move in Slovenia. You might never go home.
