The two biggest squares in the city offer a free but rather unreliable Wi-Fi access. Most cafés along the main pedestrian street offer also free wireless access. Or you can use the sometimes few crowded internet cafés. The mobile network coverage is good.
- A day trip to the Ledenika Cave (16 km away from the city) combined with a barbecue or horse riding (rent-a-horse) afternoon in the mountains is a very pleasant experience, especially in summer. Make sure you have warm clothes and watertight shoes, since the temperatures in the cave are rather low. There was a local bus line servicing the area around the cave, but a better option is to organize your own transportation (rent-a-car or bikes). As of October 2010, there is no bus line going to Ledenika Cave; everyone in town says taxi was the only way. It takes about 2 hours to bike to the cave, with the majority of the time spent on the climb between the two forks (head right at both, at kilometers 2 and 12). Save a little energy as the last 2-3 kilometers to the cave are a steep downhill, which you have to climb back up after the tour. There also appeared to be a chair lift heading in the direction of the cave from the first fork—it is not possible to see where it ended especially in the foggy days, but it isn't running anyway. Your mountain trip can be extended over two or more days: there is a small budget hotel near the Ledenika Cave. A pre-booking is useful.
