Walking Tour of Ljubljana

This guided six-hour tour of Ljubljana offers an in-depth look at Slovenia's capital city. You'll see how ancient monuments, modern architecture, and mid-century city planning combine to form a unique city full of charm and wonder. Ride in comfort to each of Ljubljana's best attractions while your guide shares the storied past of this European capital. See the bridges, parks, and squares designed by the famous Slovene architect, Joze Plecnik, as well as the green-domed Ljubljana Cathedral, Ljubljana Town Hall, and other historic monuments that comprise the old town center.

The tour begins as your guide escorts you into the heart of Slovenia's political, economic, and cultural capital, Ljubljana. The city's ancient roots reach back in prehistoric times along the shores of the Ljubljana River, long before the Roman outpost was conquered by Atilla's Huns. In the city's center, atop a hill, you'll find the medieval Ljubljana Castle, which boasts architectural accents from the Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance periods. Your guide will point out the many representations of the Ljubljana Dragon along the way. Symbolizing power, courage, and greatness, the dragon can be found on the castle's tower and Dragon Bridge, which spans the city's namesake river. Also in the old town's center, you can see the many architectural contributions of Slovenian architect Joze Plecnik, including the iconic Triple Bridge, the river's embankments, and a number of exquisite parks and squares. In the mid-20th century, Plecnik transformed the capital into the modern city it is today. Your Ljubljana day tour also includes stops at the Shoemakers' Bridge, Robba Fountain, Congress Square, and so much more.
