Podrobnosti lokacije:

Igrali bomo v “Biljardna Hiša Ljubljana – Slovenska 58“.

Vhod je v spodnji etaži atrija na ploščadi pred Ljubljansko borzo.

Ko prideš na naslov, bi moral videti veliko stopnišče, katero vodi v spodnjo etažo atrija. Na dnu stopnišča se obrni desno 180°.
Vse bo bolj jasno, ko boš tam 🙂
Lahko tudi pogledaš okoli za kažipote “Biljardna Hiša”

Na spodnjem linku je tudi nekaj slik in sprehod skozi biljardnico.

OPOMBA: Biljardna Hiša Ljubljana je imela tudi staro lokacijo na “Parmovi 25”, ampak je žal ni več. Samo v info, da lahko potencialno najdete dve lokaciji.

Dostop in parkiranje

Biljardna Hiša Ljubljana – Slovenska je na robu centra mesta Ljubljane, na “Bavarskem dvoru”.

Boljše lokacije za dostop peš ali z javnim prevozom si tako ne bi mogli želeti.

Praktično zraven glavne železniške postaje, tik ob avtobusni postaji “Bavarski dvor” in 10 minut peš do čistega centra mesta.

Dostopnost z avtom je malo slabša, vendar so še vedno na voljo parkirišča v bližini. Parkiranje na ulici (če najdeš mesto) je plačljivo od 7h do 19h (1,30 €/h).

Predlagamo, da pustite avto pri svojem hotelu in se do lokacije odpravite peš.

Hrana:

Biljardna Hiša Ljubljana na žalost nima več lastne kuhinje.

Na voljo so še vedno toasti in tortilja sendviči.

Ker bomo v centru Ljubljane, je v bližini tudi ogromno drugih ponudnikov prehrane, kamor se lahko odpravite.
V tem primeru prosim upoštevajte časovnico turnirja in bodite nazaj pravočasno.
