About this audio guide
This audio guide to Čop Street in Ljubljana follows Matjaž Plausteiner, the Slovenian entrepreneur who chased a fast-food franchise in the early nineteen-nineties, and the restaurant he opened on this promenade soon after independence. Along the way it takes in the street's older, stranger name and the animal behind it. Best heard standing near number fourteen, halfway between the post office and Prešeren Square.
