A river runs through it
The Ljubljanica River divides Ljubljana’s old town in the east from its commercial hub in the west and is lined with beautiful baroque buildings and outdoor cafes.
Along with the hilltop castle, it’s the focal point of the town and you can take a glass-roofed boat cruise from Ribji trg pier to get a feel for the city.
The river is crossed by a number of iconic bridges including the Triple Bridge, which are a set of three bridges side by side from which you can see the market, main square and old town. Meanwhile, Dragon Bridge is adorned by four large dragons, which come from the city’s coat of arms that can be seen on Castle Tower and symbolise strength, courage and might.
