Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I'm not the kind to get easily spooked.
But this place is just creepy.
Felt immediately unsafe and unwelcome, barely took 10 seconds to look at the art and left, under the eyes of the few visibly stoned men roaming around.
Don't go there if you're a solo woman, please.

We had a car, so easy to nip here from the City centre. We strolled around for 5 minutes and saw the art, but didn’t need much longer. Felt safe during the day but you are aware you are in someone else’s space.

I was staying quite close by and got to sample the alternative culture of this neighbourhood day and night. There's no shortage of street art, counter culture squatters and half naked madmen. Lots of street art and strange sculptures to see. Despite what some have said, I thought it was safe both day and night.

Metelkova is a vibrant cultural enclave that everyone can enjoy. The vibrant graffiti, unique art installations and vibrant atmosphere make it an enjoyable experience to stroll around. A must-see destination for art lovers and curious travelers alike.

Bah, probably not my thing but I've seen better (always in graffiti and murals). The location is interesting but badly maintained, dirty and with questionable people bivouac. I love free art spaces and I find them a good opportunity, but if you want to open them to the public they have to be managed in a certain way. Not an unmissable place but still an experience like many others (positive or negative).

Unrecommendable area. We went me and my family (including the child) because we saw the photos on the various sites that talk about Ljubljana, as an alternative and artistic area (street art) too bad that there was a small group of drugs that I suppose live there (and near these there were other drunks) who were going to persecute us (reasoned little) for no reason. The only negative note of this visit to Ljubljana!

The Metelkova region is home to areas with museums, galleries and bars, including some nightlife. The main block has a lot of graffiti, and drug users, despite being extremely safe. It is located close to the train station.

Definitely one to experience.. I'd read mixed reviews beforehand but was determined to take a look and sample the nightlife. First visited relatively early one night when it was still quite quiet, and have to admit as a solo female I chickened out after feeling a little intimidated by everyone seeming to stare at me as I strolled into the area and someone offering to sell me drugs. However I steeled myself with a little extra dutch courage and visited later on a few more nights into my holiday, this time just threw myself into it, bought a beer and sat down and started talking to people on one of the outside benches, and found everyone I met to be really, really friendly. I can understand how people can feel nervous at first, but you can have a fantastic and very different night out here if you just stop worrying and immerse yourself in it!
Also worth a visit in the daytime to admire the weird and wonderful artwork.

There is some interesting art work on the walls here, but the atmosphere is not very comfortable. This is in contrast to the rest of Ljubljana, which is a very warm and welcoming city. There were a couple of signs saying that this is not a tourist attraction (which is debatable) and stating that photography is not allowed. This is of course unenforceable so I took a few pictures anyway. Unless you are extremely interested in graffiti I would give this a pass, and would definitely not go after dark.

I saw several comments on blogs that the place is a bit sinister and a drug spot, but I went there and didn't see anything like that. I went in the afternoon, on a Saturday, and it was full of tourists. But there was nothing to do other than look at the graffiti. The place seems to have a few bars, but everything was closed. Worth the visit, but without high expectations!
