Praznični sejem - Petkovšek Embankment

The Festive Fair at Petkovšek Embankment brings Ljubljana's Christmas magic directly to the scenic riverbanks of the Ljubljanica River. As part of Ljubljana's renowned Festive December celebrations, this charming market location offers visitors an intimate riverside setting where traditional holiday stalls blend seamlessly with the city's picturesque waterfront architecture. The embankment location provides a more relaxed alternative to the busier central squares, while still offering authentic Slovenian holiday experiences. Visitors can browse festive gift stalls featuring locally crafted items, from handmade ornaments to traditional Slovenian artisan goods, all while enjoying views of the illuminated river and historic buildings. The market atmosphere emphasizes sustainability and local craftsmanship, with vendors offering unique gift items perfect for holiday shopping. Gourmet food and beverage stalls serve warming drinks and seasonal treats, creating cozy gathering spots along the embankment. The riverside setting becomes particularly enchanting in the evening when Ljubljana's famous festive lights reflect off the water, creating a magical ambiance that has earned the city recognition for having one of Europe's most imaginative Christmas light displays. Plan to combine your visit with a stroll along the other embankment markets at Breg and Cankar Embankment, or take a festive boat ride on the Ljubljanica River to see the illuminated city from the water.
