This original Triple Bridge straddles the Ljubljanica river. The main bridge was built in 1820 to replace a wooden bridge. The two additional pedestrian bridges were added in 1920 by the architect Plecnik. The work of this architect had a strong influence on the city. The square is home to the statue of the great poet France Preseren, the Franciscan church and the Hauptman house. After the earthquake of 1895 Austria paid to rebuild the bridge, which it thought had been destroyed. These funds made it possible to enlarge the bridge.
Get a bird's eye view of the city by flying over it in a hot-air balloon. If you do not suffer from vertigo you can book the unique experience by calling in at the tourist office on Krekov Trg.
Ljubljana is home o the only statue of French Emperor Napoleon outside France. It dates back to the days when the Frenchman made the city capital of his Illyrian Provinces and promoted the use of the Slovene language.
Shop
At BTC City you will find more than 400 shops as well as plenty of places to eat and drink, a cinema, a casino and even a waterpark.
Forget the increasing amount of international shops creeping into the Slovenian capital and go old-school at the city's most popular department store, Nama.
Key area
Krakovo is a sleepy suburb laden with lovely old wooden houses and equally creaking old ladies who tend the allotments, and whose produce you will find at the market.
Day trip
Piran. A little escape to the Mediterranean always tempts, especially at this time of year. The prettiest town on the Slovenian coast awaits with its gorgeous Venetian-era architecture, seafood restaurants and charming out-of-season ambience.
Bled. Home to one of the most spectacular Alpine lakes in Europe, this picture-postcard gem ripples among the mountains and is topped off by a cute little church on its own island in the middle. Walk around or take out a rowing boat.
