What was life really like in socialist Yugoslavia? Our Ljubljana Communist Tour explores a country that followed its own path between East and West, and a past that still inspires sharply different memories.
Walk through the city with a local guide and discover how politics shaped work, religion, justice, the media, entertainment and the arts. From the image of Marshal Tito to everyday family experiences, the tour connects the big historical questions with the lives of ordinary people.
History with perspective, personality and passion. Ljubljana’s original and largest walking tour company brings together knowledgeable local storytelling, real family memories and objects from the period. Expect a thoughtful, engaging introduction to Slovenia’s socialist past.
