With a population of only 280,000, of which 50,000 are college students, the capital city has a great vibe. The River Ljubljana winds through the old town center and its banks are lined with shops and restaurants.
Bridges are frequent and make ambling around the charming city a breeze.
Triple Bridge, designed by the city’s famous architect Joze Plecnik, who also designed many of
the beautiful buildings in the capital.
Dragon Bridge—the dragon has been the symbol of Ljubljana for centuries, ever since Jason, of
the Argonauts, is said to have slain one in a nearby swamp.
A ‘Love lock” Bridge
A statute of Slovenia’s greatest poet, France Preseren. He is said to have written more than 50,000 poems alone in homage to an unrequited love interest (a much younger woman) who never read any of them.
