General presentation
Ljubljana
Green and compact capital, between Baroque old town, castle, banks of Ljubljanica and Plečnik architecture.
The discovery of Ljubljana revolves around Ljubljana Castle, Triple Bridge and Central Market. The stay thus alternates between urban life, heritage and riverscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: a busy summer centre and relief towards the castle. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Historical centre
Vieille ville de Ljubljana
The old town of Ljubljana The centre is very well on foot, with a soft rhythm that passes from the bridges of Plečnik to the terraces and markets without great distances. The centre is located in the centre of the city.
Castle
Château de Ljubljana
The castle of Ljubljana overlooks the capital from a wooded hill, close enough to the center to become a real breath rather than an excursion. The climb or funicular give useful views of the city, the Alps in the distance and the compact structure of the stay.
Architecture
Triple pont
The Triple pont It is the most emblematic passage between Prešeren Square and the old city. Its strength comes less from its size than from its daily role: pedestrians, market, river and urban perspectives constantly cross.
