Ljubljana

Capital City With Small Town Charm

The charming Slovenian capital of Ljubljana is the only large city in the country. Dominated by Castle Hill with the medieval Ljubljana Castle on top, the city is a picturesque mix of Balkan architectural styles, romantic bridges and scenic views.

Due to two major earthquakes in 1511 and 1895 that destroyed many buildings, the Old Town features a range of styles: from Roman to Medieval Baroque and Viennese Secession. This trend exists throughout the city with many Gothic-style buildings featuring elements from different periods added later on.

Strolling along Ljubljanica River, you'll see the Triple Bridge, connecting two parts of the center and beautifully lit in the evenings. Make a stop at Prešelen Square, Ljubljana’s most popular meeting point with the Franciscan Church of Annunciation and one of the main shopping streets, Čop Street.

With over 10,000 cultural events a year and still preserving the charm of a smaller town, Ljubljana is a city where you can truly relax: on a bench in Tivoli Park, in one of the bars in the Town Square, or on a funicular to the top of Castle Hill.
