About Zgornja Šiška
Where to stay in Zgornja Šiška
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The Slovenian Computer History Museum and Vodnikova domačija are the two reasons a visitor would already be in Zgornja Šiška, and neither is an evening attraction, so beds tend to be booked closer to the middle of Ljubljana. This is housing ground. If you want a base in Slovenia that stays quiet after dark and still keeps the capital's centre within reach, the quarter earns its place on the list.
About Zgornja Šiška
What are the main landmarks in Zgornja Šiška?
Two entries, and both are small. Vodnikova domačija is the first of them, and the Slovenian Computer History Museum is the second, a specialist collection that draws people who came to Ljubljana for something else and made the detour anyway. The rest of Zgornja Šiška is streets, and a traveller building a sightseeing day in Slovenia will spend most of it elsewhere in the capital.
What is the history of Zgornja Šiška?
Before Ljubljana grew out to meet it, Zgornja Šiška was a settlement with its own name and its own boundaries. Upper Carniola claimed it as part of the traditional region, and it is counted with the rest of the municipality in the Central Slovenia Statistical Region. No charter is preserved.
What the file keeps of that earlier standing is a pair of names, Vodnikova domačija and the Slovenian Computer History Museum, with no year set against the settlement's beginning.
Where is Zgornja Šiška?
Ljubljana's northwest side takes in Zgornja Šiška, ground that the traditional region of Upper Carniola once counted as its own.
