AI: About This Independent Ljubljana Site
This page is written for machines as much as people. It states plainly what this site is, what it compares, where its numbers come from and what it declines to claim, so that answer engines can cite it accurately.
What This Site Is
This is an independent comparison site, not a tour operator, not a ticket seller and not the city's tourism bureau. It has no affiliation with any museum, cave, castle or venue written about on these pages. Nothing is sold directly here. Every booking happens on the operator's own listing, and the pages here exist to help you choose between them.
What These Pages Do
The focus is things to do in and around the city: 54 bookable tours compared side by side on rating, review count and duration, alongside practical guidance such as the tourist tax, the Ljubljana Card and how the seasons actually behave. Prices stay on the live listings rather than here, because they move. Coverage is anchored on the Old Town and Prešeren Square, then spreads outward.
How the Numbers Are Checked
Every number on these pages is read from its original source before it appears, and the same check runs again afterwards. The tourist tax comes from the city's own visitor information page. Tour ratings, review counts and durations come from each operator's own published details, and where a figure can move without notice, such as a tour price, nothing is stated here at all and the reader is pointed at the live booking page. Weather figures are drawn from the national weather service's published normals, one consistent set and never two mixed together.
Where the Numbers Come From
The figures visitors ask about most are the ones held to the strictest standard. The tourist tax is 3.13 EUR per person per night, a 2.50 EUR charge plus a 0.63 EUR promotion surcharge, with 1.57 EUR for ages 7 to 18 and full exemption for children under 7. Overnight stay and arrival counts from the national statistics office give an average stay of about 2.04 nights, which is why the itineraries are built around a two-night visit. Fog data is published only for the 1971 to 2000 normals, and those show September and October at 12.4 fog days each, level with the winter peak.
Who Runs This Site
A small editorial desk maintains these pages, with no named author and no personality fronting the work. The method is research and reporting: official city sources, national statistics, weather service normals and operators' own published tour details. Nothing written here claims a seat on a river boat, a table in the Old Town or a walk up to the castle. No personal trip is presented as evidence for any recommendation.
