Hello and welcome to this UCPlaces Tour of Ljubljana, Slovenia. My name is Dave, and it will be my pleasure acting as your co-pilot, and the voice in your ear, showing you the sights and sounds of Old Town, where centuries of history and culture come alive along the charming streets and riverbanks of Slovenia’s capital. Beginning on the north side of the Ljubljanica River, we’ll cross the legendary Dragon Bridge, guarded by its iconic green dragons, before strolling past the bustling Central Market, a vibrant hub of local flavors and daily life. From there, we’ll stroll around the imposing Ljubljana Castle, learning about its medieval fortifications and panoramic views, before descending back into the old town’s heart. As we continue, we’ll cross the elegant Shoemaker’s Bridge, a masterpiece of the city’s famed architect Jože Plečnik, before concluding our journey at the lively and historic Prešeren Square, the cultural soul of Ljubljana. Along the way, you’ll uncover stories of emperors, poets, and architects who shaped this enchanting city. Our tour today is not a strenuous one, as it runs less than a mile and a half over mostly level ground, and should take about two hours. Our starting point is on Komeskega Road, near the University, where there is plenty of public transportation, if you arrived that way, and there is a parking lot (Parkina hisa Komenskega) if you drove today. Follow your GPS, and we will begin shortly!
