Best Thing To Do in Ljubljana

Ljubljana is both the capital and largest city of the Republic of Slovenia. It is geographically located right in the center of Slovenia. Slovenia is bordered by Italy, Austria, Croatia, and Hungary and inhabits only 2 million people, surprising given its size!

A city of culture, Ljubljana is home to multiple museums, theatres, and galleries, and is proud to have one of the oldest philharmonic orchestras in the world. The people of Ljubljana breathe culture and for them, it is both a way of living and thinking as well as an essential part of everyday life.

Also known as the Dragon City, the dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana, representing the strength, wisdom, and courage of its people.

You will find dragons throughout the city and according to legend the Ljubljana Dragon protects the city and brings good luck to those who rub its statue, so keep an eye out!

1. Ljubljana Castle

Steeped in over 900 years of history, the Castle is a treasure trove of rich historical narratives and captivating architecture. Offering a stunning city view, it is a must-visit destination for those interested in exploring the castle at their own pace.

The site provides a unique blend of history and architecture, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the intricacies of its medieval past.

2. Cathedral of St Nicholas

In the heart of Ljubljana is where this impressive cathedral is found.

Whether it’s the outside architecture that captures your eye or one of the many other striking features, from the bronze sculptured doors, you can see from when you first enter the cathedral with designs that illustrate Slovenian history along with portraits of the bishops of Ljubljana or inside from detailed frescoes painted on the ceiling, and the organ.

3. Central market

If you are interested in supporting local businesses and tasting fresh produce or buying souvenirs for loved ones the central market offers a selection of delicacies.

The outdoor section of the market sells a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as Slovenian souvenirs and gifts, while the indoor market (Plecnik’s Covered Market) sells local cheeses, and homemade baked goods such as bread, pastries, and more.

4. The Old Town

The Old Town showcases iconic landmarks like the Triple Bridge-Tromostovje, the Dragon Bridge-Zmajski Most, and the Butchers Bridge, each contributing to the area’s rich architectural heritage. Take a moment to appreciate the elegance of the Franciscan Church amidst the historical surroundings.

Wandering through Ljubljana’s Old Town offers a genuine experience of the city’s essence.

5. Tivoli Park

This popular green space is loved by both locals and tourists alike and is the only marsh in Slovenia, that covers more than 300 hectares. This recreational park varies in its landscape with botanical gardens, a fishpond, and tree-lined walking paths.

Whether you prefer a stroll or are looking for the perfect picnic spot, Tivoli Park offers a great break from the city atmosphere and a chance to relax in nature and wildlife.

6. Museum of Illusions

7. Plečnik’s Ljubljana

When Ljubljana was being further constructed as the nation’s new capital, famous architect Jože Plečnik (1872-1957) was appointed to help design the city, he combined modern approaches while also basing the city on ancient Athens.

‘Plečnik’s Ljubljana’ now refers to Plečnik’s array of creations in Ljubljana and is one of the 20th century’s most quintessential and significant total works of art. With its landmarks included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

His most notable works include, but are not limited to: the National and University Library building, the Ljubljanica river embankments and bridges i.e. The Triple Bridge and the Cobblers’ Bridge, the Central Market, the Križanke Summer Theatre, the Bežigrad Stadium, and the Church of St. Michael in the Marshes.

8. Take a tour of the city… by paddleboard

If you want to see what the city visually has to offer whilst doing something active in the warmer months, exploring by paddleboarding on the Ljubljianica River is highly recommended.

9. Lake Bled
