Impressions of Ljubljana

Me and my classmates arrived in Slovenia on 20th February. Coming from windy Copenhagen we expected nice warm weather here in the south. However a snowy day welcomed us. To be honest it makes the country look quite beautiful, so we didn’t mind it. Our first stop was traditional Slovenian restaurant Kulinarično središče Okusiti Slovenijo to taste the local cuisine. Quite different and interesting from what we are all used to.

The next few days we spent in the capital. We were working on the project of hostel Celica going green. The hostel has unique style, history and atmosphere. The group had important meetings and discussion with the management of the hostel. They were quite honest to us and told us of their plans and problems. Our task is to see if we can suggest solutions to those problems and see if there is something they missed so they can implement it in their future plans of development.

Of course we had some free time and we really enjoyed it. Ljubljana is a beautiful city full of history. The tour around the city was fascinating and interesting. The view from the top of the castle is magnificent. The people are warm and welcoming and that made our stay unforgettable.

After our stay in the capital we headed for the coastline of Slovenia. But more on that in the next blog…

Celica going Green - preparations

We are five students from Aalborg University Copenhagen. All of us are from different countries in Europe, yet no one has ever been to Slovenia.
That is the reason why all of us are very excited and looking forward to our trip to the country. We think this is unique opportunity to develop our skills in real life business, while helping Slovenian tourism to develop.

The case of hostel Celica who wants to strengthen the eco-friendly side of the business is very interesting and unique. The brand and authenticity of the place are well branded and would be a challenge to work on the case. During our stay in the country we are sure to fulfill the purpose of our research but at the same time to have fun and explore and experience Slovenia to the fullest.
