Bakery with absolutely supernaturally tasty local bread (lepinja) and other goodies like potato burek.

Small shop with a vast amount of fragrant greenery and vegetables, also you can buy balkan canned vegetables (ajvar, etc) and beer or wine, also on Sundays. Adequate prices, unlike those at Petrol:)

Inexpensive bakery that is open on weekends. There you can buy sweet or savory treats and practice some Balkan languages.

The bank branch has an ATM. There is a currency exchange there too.

Very tasty pizza and more, not for those on a diet, but for those who really need to restore the sudden drop of stamina and taste something warm and tasty even in the middle of the night! Open 24/7.

Official site. it costs 1€ per week (optimal for tourists). If you return the bike within 1 hour, the ride is free.

But beware, if the bicycle is stolen, or you don't return it within 24 hours, the fine is 350€.

As of now; but I think in the future they'll make a paid parking there. But it's far.

It seems to not be a part of the streets controlled by the inspectors, and I see long-parked cars there. Most of the time we park there, and haven't got any fine yet:)

There's no sign (yet) that this yard is only for the locals, so we often park there.

In Ljubljana all the buses require the fare to be paid by special card and don't accept credit cards (maybe it's changing now) or cash. Card has to be bought before the ride in one of the vending machines (they're many in the city) — called urbanomat. One of such machines is near the train/bus station, the other is near our home. 

Card costs 2€ (not returnable, but we have some cards at home, you can use them) and then you'll need to put some money onto it, that will be spent on the rides. One ride costs 1.3€. Urbanomat accepts cards and cash both!

The Plečnik Barrier (Plečnikova zapornica) is a monumental water gate designed by the legendary architect Jože Plečnik to mark the exit of the Ljubljanica River from the city center.
