Gala Hala is 10 to 15 minute's walk from the beautiful historic center of Ljubljana - but quite a contrast.
Located in a less touristy area of town among graffiti-covered buildings, the cosy venue is oriented toward punk rock, metal and ska, and also hosts hip-hop and dub nights. Visitors over the years have included The Toasters and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes as well as small European bands.
In the summer you can enjoy the larger outdoor stage (Letni oder Gala Hala) and drink a well-priced lager under the stars while chatting with friendly locals.

Krizna Jama is an amazing underground network of caves and lakes in Slovenia. The best parts you have to reach by boat, taken by a guide. Crystal Mountain (Kristalna Gora) with its stunning display of stalagmites and stalactites is the most impressive. We were there on a photography holiday and had the opportunity to try 'painting with light' to get some great cave photos.
