Ljubljana On and Off the Beaten Track   Tour

You`ve heard it right. Ljubljana is a beautiful old town with centuries-old historic buildings , indeed. With narrow streets, beautiful Baroque churches and monuments, numerous cafés and restaurants likewise.

And yet,  Ljubljana is more than that . Namely, there are also buildings and areas in the centre of town that once served military or manufacturing purposes. Eventually, they got abandoned due to contemporary political, social and economic circumstances. As a result, these areas have been populated by squatters, artists and Bohemians , who have turned them into zones of creativity, liberal thought, solidarity with marginalized social groups and into zones of independent arts.

All in all, welcome to dive into stories of Ljubljana which are less touristically coloured and are hidden from the first sight.

Ljubljana Walking Tours

The first known settlement here was Roman fortified town of Emona, which was founded no later than 14 A.D. But we know for sure that there were much more ancient villages here, on both banks of Ljubljanica river. By the way, this river actually gave the name to the modern city. This area and local rivers and lakes, according to legend, were part of a returning route of Jason and argonauts, of ancient Greek myths. Until 1918 Ljubljana was known with it's German name Laibach and only during Yugoslavian times started to be named with it's original slavic name.

Tromostovje (Three Bridges): The Symbol of Ljubljana's Unity

Our journey begins at Tromostovje, the iconic trio of bridges that gracefully span the Ljubljanica River. Designed by architect Jože Plečnik, these interconnected bridges symbolize unity between the historical, medieval, and modern parts of the city. As you cross the bridges, take in the views of the charming riverside and the lively atmosphere of the city.

Preseren Square: Where Art and Romance Converge

Named after the greatest Slovenian poet, France Prešeren, this bustling square is a hub of cultural and social activity. The centerpiece of the square is the Prešeren Monument, dedicated to the poet himself, and the exquisite façade of the Franciscan Church. Here, locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy open-air concerts, admire the intricate architecture, and soak in the romantic ambiance.
