About Nove Jarše
Where to stay in Nove Jarše
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Nove Jarše suits a practical base. Most visitors who bed down in this district of Ljubljana trade the frontage of the old town for quieter streets, then ride into the centre of the Slovenian capital when the sights call. Rooms lean toward apartments and small guesthouses.
It is a workaday quarter, not a tourist stage set.
About Nove Jarše
What are the main landmarks in Nove Jarše?
The story here is a name, not a monument. Nove Jarše holds no marquee landmark of its own, and its interest lies instead in the village of Jarše it was named for, a settlement now folded into the neighbouring Bežigrad District of Ljubljana. The headline sights sit elsewhere.
Slovenia's capital keeps its galleries and its old town a short trip toward the centre, not fixtures of this residential district.
What is the history of Nove Jarše?
The name came from a village. Nove Jarše takes its title from the former village of Jarše, a rural settlement that the growing City Municipality of Ljubljana eventually absorbed as the capital of Slovenia pushed its streets outward across the basin. The old fields gave way to housing.
That earlier Jarše now lies within the Bežigrad District, while its name lives on in this quarter across the city.
Where is Nove Jarše?
Nove Jarše sits within the City Municipality of Ljubljana, one of the residential districts of the Slovenian capital, its streets laid across the flat basin floor that the city occupies below the wooded hills that ring Ljubljana.
