About this audio guide
This guide to MGLC Švicarija in Ljubljana's Tivoli Park goes back to the winter of 1909, when the writer Ivan Cankar took a small room at the top of a brand-new hotel with no money to pay for it. It follows the hotelier Ivan Kenda, a waitress with a generous ledger, and the bohemian crowd that gathered in the peasant room downstairs. Best heard on the terrace, facing the building's wooden railings.
