Yummy Market Walk

What is the most authentic way to experience the lively atmosphere and variety of flavours at Ljubljana’s Central Market? A culinary walk that will take you to some of the market’s most popular vendors and give you the chance to sample some of Slovenia’s most in-demand local delicacies. You will also discover stories from behind the scenes that make the Central Market the pride of Ljubljana and an important part of the city’s identity.

Ljubljana’s Central Market perfectly mirrors the exceptional culinary diversity and richness of Slovenia. On the walk, you will visit practically every Slovenian region as you sample fresh, local produce, products, and dishes from selected vendors: one of Slovenia’s best prosciuttos, homemade cheese (a popular choice from a famous family-run cheese dairy), freshly harvested vegetables from the gardens of Ljubljana, authentic Slovenian honey from untouched forests, one of the country’s most popular desserts, richly flavoured pumpkin seed oil, and more.

Walking through the market – also known as the beating heart of the city – you will stop for tastings at a total of seven culinary stops, starting with a glass of the finest sparkling wine. 

Along the way you will learn the stories behind the abundantly stocked stalls and counters, and gain a thorough insight into the past and present culinary habits of the people of Ljubljana, as well as Slovenians in general.

Visit the vendors, have a chat with them, shop for local products, and most of all – enjoy the flavours! It’s the best way you can contribute to the life of the market – the beating heart of the city.
