1. Experience Ljubljana

LJUBLJANA - IN DEPTH TOUR

Explore medieval Ljubljana, discover its baroque and Secession architecture and the works of the architect Joze Plecnik who had a major impact on the modern identity of the city of Ljubljana, walk across the Ljubljana's most notable bridges and picturesque old city centre embankments through the open market with local fresh fruit and vegetable offer and enter the city’s cathedral with Ljubljana’s insider local tourist guide.

You will visit the old town, take a walk along the river Ljubljanica, learn about the legend of the city’s origin and about the 2000 years old Roman remains. You will find out why Ljubljana has been named European Green Capital 2016 and why this area has been interesting to inhabit already 6000 years ago! Its geographical position in the centre of Europe and in the middle of a trade route between the northern Adriatic Sea and the Danube region has determined Ljubljana as an important trade, cultural and historical crossroad connecting Mediterranean and transalpine regions of Europe.

With the start in the heart of the city, from the Triple Bridge you will stroll past the Dragon Bridge and the lively Plečnik’s open market to come upon the Cathedral of St. Nicholas and to visit the Town Hall. After enjoying the interior of the Town Hall you will taste a traditional dark chocolate with a sea salt from the natural, over 700 years old, saltpans of Sečovlje on the Slovenian coast. After crossing the Cobblers’ Bridge the path will lead you towards the landmarks such as National and University Library, Napoleon statue, University of Ljubljana, ancient Roman wall remains and to the main information point iEmona. To complete the circle you will visit the Slovenian Parliament and the National Museum of Slovenia, which keeps the oldest musical instrument in the world, the 60,000 year old Neanderthal flute from the Divje Babe excavation site.

The tour is suitable for everyone who comes to Ljubljana and would like to know us better!
