1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

A self-guided walking game that takes you through Ljubljana's classic sights by the quieter paths, with a storyline drawn from old Slavic mythology: the thunder god Perun and the spring god Jarilo are woven into the streets, and each stop holds a puzzle you solve on your phone. Start when you like, pause for a coffee, pick it up again later.

The app shares the story behind each place as you go: the poet Prešeren watching over his square, the folk patterns Ivan Vurnik painted on his house, the dragons guarding the 1901 bridge, Plečnik's market colonnade, the Quaglio frescoes inside the cathedral and the three rivers of the Robba Fountain. Hints are built in, and chat support answers 24/7.

The route starts at Park Zvezda, crosses the Dragon Bridge to the market and the cathedral, and ends at the Cobblers' Bridge in the old town. About 3 km on flat ground, 90 to 120 minutes. Easy, family-friendly, and a good fit for first-time visitors who want the highlights without the crowds.

What to expect

This self-guided walking game follows an old Slavic myth through the centre of Ljubljana. Jarilo, the baby son of Perun and Mokosh, has vanished, and the clues point to Veles, god of the world below.

You start in Park Zvezda on Congress Square and walk to Prešeren Square and the Triple Bridge, the Vurnik House, the Dragon Bridge, the Green Market, the Vodnik Monument, St. Nicholas' Cathedral and the Town Hall with Robba's Fountain. At each stop you learn the history of the place and the next part of Jarilo's story. To move on, you solve a puzzle using what's in front of you, like investigating the horns on the Dragon Bridge or the colours of the Vurnik House to the Slovenian flag.

You can play alone or bring your whole group, any day and any hour: just book a ticket and start whenever you want. The walk covers about 3 km (1.9 miles) on mostly flat streets, takes 90-120 minutes, and ends on Plečnik's Cobblers' Bridge.
