Interesting Places to Visit in Ljubljana
Ljubljana is one of the smallest European capitals and also the largest city in Slovenia. Situated between the mountains, it impresses with its beautiful old town and landscape. So if you decide to visit Ljubljana, you will have something to see.
Ljubljana Castle
The castle is located on top of one of the most impressive hills and proudly towers over Ljubljana. You can get there in two ways: by train or on foot. The castle offers a panoramic view of the city and the surrounding Julian Alps. At the top of the mountain is the Museum of the Slovenian Nation, where you can see many interesting exhibits. The entrance fee is 12 euros.
Metelkova
Metelkova is an alternative area of Ljubljana. A former military barracks, Metelkova is now a hub for hippies and artists. Art is at your fingertips. The streets are decorated with beautiful frescoes and amazing art installations. Some of them are completely covered in graffiti. Many bars offer live music.
Dragon Bridge
The four mighty dragons guarding this bridge adorn the official coat of arms of Ljubljana and appear now and then in different parts of the city. These statues look quite realistic, they were designed by the architect of the bridge itself, Yuri Zaninovich, and made of sheet copper at the A. M. Beschorner factory in Vienna.
Cathedral of St. Nicholas
Beginning in the 13th century, this architectural monument was rebuilt and reconstructed several times due to fires and wars. The modern Baroque appearance of the cathedral was formed at the beginning of the 18th century, and the magnificent dome was added a little later - in the 40s of the 19th century. Several recognized Italian Baroque masters worked on the design of the cathedral. You can see the beauty of the cathedral for 3 euros.
Franciscan Church of the Annunciation
This magnificent church from the mid-17th century in the early Baroque style adorns Prešeren Square. Its façade is painted in pastel red, which has special significance for the Franciscan order. The top of the church is decorated with spires, pilasters with Ionic capitals, niches, and a statue of the Virgin Mary with Child.
