Ljubljana is small enough to cross in an evening and deep enough to never finish. The dragons on the bridge have watched this inquiry for a century and approve of thoroughness.
- 1 · The Cold Open
Vinoteka Movia
The Kristančič family has made wine since 1820 and their town hall tasting room pours Slovenia's orange and rebula like sworn statements. Open the inquiry with a glass of amber.

Daktari
A riverside cave of mismatched armchairs, typewriters and jazz, run on the honor of ideas. Students, painters, a piano somebody will eventually touch. Deposition by atmosphere.

- 3 · The Anchor
Gostilna Šestica
Feeding Slovenska cesta since 1776: žlikrofi, sausage with sauerkraut, strudel with legal weight. The oldest inn in town delivers the main findings under wooden beams.

- 4 · The Wildcard
Metelkova Mesto
Yugoslav army barracks seized by artists in 1993 and never given back: seven venues of punk, jazz and sculpture welded from scrap. An autonomous zone with better nightlife than most ministries.

- 5 · The Last Call
Nebotičnik
The Skyscraper of 1933, once the tallest in the Balkans, art deco stairs spiraling to a terrace over the whole small perfect city. One nightcap at altitude. Inquiry closed, dragons satisfied.
