Hostelling International Slovenia Hostelling International Slovenia (HI Slovenia) is the only national representative of Slovenia in the International Youth Hostel Federation (Hostelling International – HI). HI is a non-governmental and non-profit organization active in about 90 countries in the world. The organization works closely together with UNESCO (United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization), WTO (World Tourism Organization) and other important international organization – also it was proclaimed the sixth largest organization that offers overnighting. With 4 million members it is one of the largest youth organizations in the world and is the only network of youth hostels with about 4.000 objects for spending the night, 1.5 million beds and 30-40 overnight stays annually. HI has high standards for youth hostels, based on the treatment of the guests, security, cleanliness and privacy. But it is not its only role. Since it was established in 1932 it encourages young people for better intercultural understanding through informal education and peace, global friendship and environmentalism. The international organization, with a strong support of its national members, it offers interaction among youth of various nationalities and cultures, exchange of experience, getting to know their peers and after all themselves. For this the organization has international programs for youth, above all the ones with lesser chances, through which we spread the mission of Hostelling International, which remained the same since 1932: To promote the education of all young people of all nations, but especially young people of limited means, by encouraging in them a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside and an appreciation of the cultural values of towns and cities in all parts of the world, and as ancillary thereto, to provide hostels or other accommodation in which there shall be no distinctions of race, nationality, colour, religion, sex, class or political opinions and thereby to develop a better understanding of their fellow men, both at home and abroad. PZS, with more than 40 hostels around Slovenia, ensures safe, budget friendly and quality boarding for all types of groups. This includes the educational field trips with various themes (history, art or language courses) as well as extracurricular activities for schools, students, sporting and other groups – or simply friends who want a joint active holiday. All Slovenian hostels meet the international demands, with most of them having special offers for the groups: • Private rooms for group leaders and drivers • Bus parking • Study rooms, game rooms and joint areas • Ensuring full meals and possible lunch packets • Personal that understands the needs of any group Hostels are placed as well in the urban centres as in nature, but all can be perfect base for discovering the country side. Do you want active holidays with rafting, skiing and hiking? Maybe something more relaxing as sightseeing of cultural and historical sights? Or would you just spoil yourself in the thermal and natural baths? PZS as part of Hostelling International is the organization to contact for any of these great experiences in a budget friendly way.

The surroundings of the Hostel Ljubljana has everything any other modern capital city has to offer, without having lost the kind and relaxed atmosphere you find in smaller towns. It is a vibrant and picturesque city with a twist. The region, which along with Ljubljana consists of 25 surrounding municipalities, is praised for its traditional hospitality, diverse landscape, cozy small towns, castles, village churches with rich artistic legacy and many possibilities for enjoying quality traditional Slovenian cuisine. In central Slovenia the alpine world meets the Karst region to form the most spectacular natural and cultural features, such as: the Ljubljana swamp (Ljubljansko barje), a region of swamps and peat bogs, known for its prehistoric culture of pile dwellings and rare animal and plant species. The high mountain range plateau of Velika Planina in the Kamnik Alps, north of Ljubljana, with one of the oldest herding settlements in Europe and a skiing resort, the mysterious forests of the Polhogradec and Posavje hills with numerous tourist farms and inviting caves and fields of the karst region, will enrich the experience of the natural beauty Slovenia has to offer. Forests, rivers and lakes offer exceptional possibilities for an active vacation in the wild open, from hitchhiking and bicycling to exploring nature, hunting, fishing and swimming in the summer and winter sports during the colder season. There are also some well-equipped golf courses. There will not be a dull moment. The cultural life with the various events is underlined with the rich tradition as well as contemporary creativity. The Ljubljana region – in Central Slovenia, is the right destination for a relaxed, active holiday.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner In hostel Tresor breakfast is included in the price of the accommodation; other meals guests have to provide for themselves. Breakfast: Self-serve breakfast in the vault, every day from 8:00 to 10:00. The time can be adjusted to the wishes of the guests.

Local sights and attractions The Prešeren square and the old city center Ljubljana is considered an undiscovered European gem that many compare to Prague because of its architectural beauty. Its image was throughout history influenced by different historic periods, people and their work; the most famous of them being the works of the world renowned architect Jože Plečnik, who also designed the city center. Plečnik’s imprint is therefore felt everywhere, mostly by the banks of the Ljubljanica river, where his famous triple bridge (Tromostovje) is located. The banks offer a variety of interesting bars, pubs and restaurants, where travelers can wet their appetites over excellent food, desserts and drinks.
The Ljubljanica river boat ride Explore Ljubljana and its landmarks from another perspective and take a river boat ride on the Ljubljana river.
The Ljubljana castle The Viewing Tower offers the most beautiful view over the city, the castle itself hosts many museum installations and exhibitions, among them also the permanent exhibitions Slovenian History, Penitentiary and Virtual Castle. Along with the museums, gift shop and the viewing tower, the surroundings of the castle are as equally breathtaking
The ZOO The Ljubljana ZOO is located in the forest and meadows of the protected regional park Tivoli, Rožnik and Šišenski hrib. Visitors of the ZOO exhibits will have a chance to see animal species from every continent and especially animals typical for the local environment where the alpine world meets the Mediterranean and the Panonian plain.
