I know it's called the urban centre of Ljubljana and all, but I have been a few times, and this has been few times too many.

Don't get me wrong, certain people will love it. It's said to be the Ljubljana's centre of alternative culture and in some ways it is. It offers a great hostel called Celica which also offers vory good food, but the rest of the establishment (it's quite a large place) is most often found filled to the brim with drunk and... More

Ljubljana strikes me as a quiet and friendly city, especially at the evening/night time. Metelkova is the exact opposite. I have not been there during the day, perhaps my opinion would be different.
