Best Shopping in Ljubljana 2019

more than a year ago

Come rain or shine, there’s one activity that thrills almost all of us whatever the weather, and that’s shopping. Ah yes, the simple pleasure of indulging yourself - or perhaps someone else - with a purchase or two. You might be seeking some retail therapy, looking for a trinket for your home or a new outfit for yourself, or perhaps you just enjoy browsing. Whatever brings you to the city shops you’ll soon find yourself in a particular store, but what is it about that store that lured you inside?

Ljubljana has seen a lot of movement over the last few years; business have changed hands, expanded, long established businesses are still doing a roaring trade, and several new ones are just getting settled in. With so much on offer to both visitors and locals how does one choose a favourite? Well, help is at hand from yours truly, for the 2019 edition of our Best Shopping in Ljubljana competition the Ljubljana In Your Pocket editorial team came up with 12 categories ranging from kids to cosmetics and food to jewellery, and then left the final selection up to our readers and the general public, with two weeks of voting from 24 May till 7 June. Thanks to all the voters and congratulations to all of the winners and runners up!
