Best of Culture in Ljubljana 2020

Every year on the 8th of February, Slovenia celebrates its Cultural Heritage Day, which is a National holiday in honor of the great 19th-century poet and cultural iconic dr. France Prešeren, which is not only a work-free holiday but among other events and festivities the vast majority of the country’s cultural institutions offer free admission to the public. And each year to mark the occasion, Best of Slovenia asks locals to vote for their favorite museums, galleries, institutions, events and more from Ljubljana’s thriving cultural scene.
