Zagreb vs Ljubljana

I have to choose between Zagreb or Ljubljana for my final day or two in Croatia or Slovenia. (I need to fly out from one them to Amsterdam for my flight home.)

I am looking for any thoughts or input on choosing one over the other.

Loved em both, but Ljubljana more. Zagreb is usually the cheaper, more serviced airport if that’s a factor.

Both are nice, which to me means you can't make a wrong choice. Since you are
looking at this as a springboard to your flight, I'd allow the parameters that matter
to you for your flight ($, timing, etc), potentially be the deciding factor, along maybe
with hotels.

If airfares are equal, Ljubljana would be my choice as it’s a beautiful, pedestrian-friendly castle-crowned town with a river running through it.

No question, Lubljana! Fantastic place, great food, gorgeous, walkable. Loved it.

I agree with kenko that if airfares are equal, I would choose Ljubljana! It's a gorgeous city with the river running through it and beautiful architecture. That's not to say that Zagreb isn't interesting; it is, and we enjoyed our stay in Zagreb very much. But if I had to choose one, I would choose Ljubljana.
