Designed to be a source of inspiration for visiting Ljubljana and its surrounding areas, the visitljubljana.com website is a rich source of information about the local tourism and event offerings. Apart from that, it allows visitors to book accommodation, hotel packages, guided city tours, day-trips around Slovenia, and a choice of other experiences and organized activities, as well as purchase their Ljubljana Card tourist pass.
Using the MyVisit trip planner, visitors to the website can save their favourite content and create their own guide to Ljubljana and Central Slovenia. They can send their itinerary to their email address, export it to the Visit Ljubljana mobile application (Android/iPhone) or create their personal PDF guide containing also a coherent compilation of practical information.
Seven website language options and special sections for business users
Approximately 95% of visitors to Ljubljana come from abroad, for which reason the Visitors section of the website is primarily targeted at foreign visitors and available in seven different languages (English, French , German, Italian, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish). The website also includes a B2B/Press section, which provides information for journalists and travel professionals, and a special Ljubljana Convention Bureau section, intended for conference and meeting organizers.
Since the release of the new version of the website, the Ljubljana Convention Bureau section has been better suited to trends on the global market for international meetings. Apart from an improved conference facility search function and a visually improved layout, it now also features descriptions of incentive travel programmes, complete with enquiry forms allowing conference and meeting organizers to get in touch directly with programme providers and have a two-way communication with them. Also new are the stories of successful meetings held in Ljubljana over recent years.
