(Mon-Fri 7:30-19:00, Sat 8:00-14:00, Sun 9:00-14:00, Stari trg 5, tel. 01/422-2950).
Next door, follow the passage to reach
Za Popen't Pivoteka,
a “bottle shop” selling
200 kinds of beer in individual bottles. While they stock a few Slovenian beers, they focus
on international microbrews—including several American brands. Even if it's not authen-
tically Slovenian, this shop is a fun browse for beer lovers. The name is a play on words,
loosely meaning “foamy goodness” (Mon-Sat 11:00-20:00, closed Sun, Stari trg 5, mobile

.
Now you'll wade through a stretch of enticing restaurants with wonderful outdoor tables
fully across the street. From here, you'll pass a few more funky shops, but mostly restaur-
ants and cafés until the cobbled charm culminates at
Gornji trg.
Look uphill and notice the
village charms of some of the oldest buildings in town: four medieval houses with rooflines
slanted at the ends, different from the others on this street.
