Itinerary
-
1Preseren Square
Welcome to the meeting location, the square, dedicated to the greatest Slovenian poet, that was in my opinion actually quite a rock'n'roller.
10 minutes • Admission ticket free -
2Triple Bridge (Tromostovje)
Fascinating Triple Bridge carries a beautiful story of a devestating earthquake back in 1895 and Slovenia's progressive architect Jožef Plečenik, who throughout the renovation managed to turn Ljubljana into an architecturally rich and interesting capital.

Meet a vibrant part of the city, located on a river bank, that is just bursting with locals' energy. You'll learn about how it looked like 12 years ago, what actually changed in 2010 and what kind of impact the change has on the local life.
10 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4Butcher's Bridge
You ever felt like butchers must be noughty guys? What a story behind this weird and fascinating bridge! Not to be missed when in Ljubljana.

5
Locals' favourite dontown street and I'll share with you all the reasons for it. Colorful, food - scented and ... still a locals' streeet.
10 minutes • Admission ticket free -
6
Welcome to THE alternative cultural zone that has its own rules and is filled with street art, art studios, night clubs and lots of memories of mine. Fascinating and unique and a huge part of Ljubljana's local life.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
7Dragon Bridge (Zmajski Most)
All of a sudden Ljubljana is all about the dragons... until you hear the local's perspective on the hype. Putting that aside, the bridge does tell a fascinating story and is a great example of the position of our nation back in the days.
10 minutes • Admission ticket free -
8Central Market
Farmers market in the city center is THE place for local life. Ljubljana is so small it really doesn't have local and touristic districts. It is all mixed and the market is a perfect example. Learn about the local products, different Slovenian regions and cuisine, and the importance of the market for the people of Ljubljana. This is also the spot where we will try the traditional Slovenian pastry, that today has an EU geographically protected status.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
9Ljubljana Old Town
Get ready for a slow stroll along the oldest (and in my opinion most beautiful) part of the city, constructed in the 13th century and yet not looking typically medieval. You'll learn why the architecture of this gorgeous hart of the city center is a bit different than one would expect. We'll also discuss the evolution of the Old City in the past 30 years. Amazing!
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
10Ljubljana Castle
We'll take a slow walk to the castle hill, using a sideway that is never overcrowded with people and therefore popular with Ljubljanians. We'll enjoy beautiful views and learn how close to the city bears live. We'll wrap our tour with an arrival to the Castle. The rest is up to you - you can take your time and enjoy everything the castle has to offer or you can just enjoy the views, take it easy and slowly return to the downtown.
