1 hour 30 minutes to 3 hours (approximately)

It may not be Paris or Rome, but on this self-guided walking tour, you'll discover why Ljubljana deserves a place on everyone's travel list.

Starting in Prešeren Square, you'll cross the iconic Triple Bridge, stroll along Plečnik's stunning Colonnade toward the central market, and pass the Butcher's Bridge and Dragon Bridge before winding through the medieval old town. Along the way, hear why the town hall has two conflicting architectural styles, who Plečnik was and why the city bears his name, and why Santa Claus is the patron saint of Ljubljana Cathedral.
