Passing through the historic center is not just necessary; it's a journey of wonder and inspiration. Here, travelers will find themselves in front of an opera set, strolling through the cobbled streets, charmed by its colors and perfectly maintained side. The beauty of the baroque town hall, its 18th-century clock tower, the Gornij Trg or the Fountain of the Three Carniolan Rivers, and the palace of the Knights of the Cross, all highlight the architectural mix between Baroque and Art contemporary styles.
Ljubljana has other interesting monuments to admire, such as the churches. The Franciscan of the Annunciation, which is in a baroque style and pink is one of them, and there is also St. Nicholas, which is very appreciated for its architecture, especially the side doors that detail the country's history. Then there is the Dragon Bridge, a historical emblem of the city. The story goes that it was one of the first bridges built of reinforced concrete in Europe. Finally, on the side of the old center is the Tromostovje, also known as the triple bridge - it crosses the Ljubljanica River on one side to the water. Moreover, taking a mini-cruise on the river is possible for those who wish.
One of the best ways to taste the delicious products of Slovenian farmers is to linger at the Central Market. Indeed, tourists will then be able to wander through the colorful stalls of this typical market. It is right next to the river, and it is especially recommended to go there early in the morning to find some specialties. That said, if holidaymakers want to taste typical dishes of Slovenian gastronomy, they should visit the many restaurants in the area.
For those who want a cultural visit, there is nothing better than stopping at the Railway Museum. Visitors will find about fifteen steam locomotives testifying to the old days in this area. It is even possible to climb the steps to get to the cockpit, but that's not all; there are other locomotives on display outside. ◄
