The Best Of 2025<\/strong> award is a recognition that confirms the popularity of selected local providers, now being presented for the 14th consecutive year. The selection and award ceremony is organized by the media house The Slovenia, with the support of the international media outlet In Your Pocket<\/strong>. After more than a decade of selecting the best in Ljubljana, the organizers decided this year to expand the voting scope and choose the best providers from across Slovenia.<\/p>

The Best Of 2025 <\/strong>accolade enhances reputation and continues the tradition of evaluation, which includes both an editorial panel and the broader public, who ultimately vote for their favorite provider in the selected categories.<\/p>

The grand award ceremony for Best Of 2025 took place on Thursday, 16th of January 2025, in Ljubljana at Cultural Center \u0160panski Borci. This year, awards were presented in six categories: Best Of Travel Experience<\/strong>, Best Of Shopping<\/strong>, Best Of Culture<\/strong>, Best Of Food & Drinks Slovenia<\/strong>, Best Of Food & Drinks Ljubljana<\/strong>, and the Best of Speaker<\/strong> category, which was included in the event for the second consecutive year.<\/p>

This year’s event was accompanied by the Festival of Decisions<\/strong>, enriching the program with a series of expert speeches, discussions, and roundtables. Premiering last year, the festival is an essential part of the ceremony and aspires to become a permanent companion to this event in the future.<\/p>
