place (Sat 8:00-14:00).

Architecture Guidebooks: Ljubljana is a turn-on for architecture buffs. If you want to
learn more about this city's quirky buildings, look for the excellent Let's See the City:
Ljubljana architecture guidebook, or one of many books about Jože Ple č nik's work
(sold at local bookstores).
Laundry: The handiest option is Emonec Launderette, with self-service machines across
the courtyard from the couldn't-be-more-central Hotel Emonec (described on here ) ;
with plenty to see and do within a few minutes' walk, this is a convenient spot to
tumble-dry your undies while exploring (€5/load wash and dry, daily 11:00-20:00—if
it's closed during these hours ask hotel reception to open it, Wolfova 12, tel. 01/
