About this activity

✨ A private walk at your own pace, with time for every question

✨ Prešeren Square, the Triple Bridge, Plečnik’s market and the Dragon Bridge

✨ Quiet corners along the Ljubljanica that most visitors walk straight past

Ljubljana is small enough to explore on foot and full of stories, if you know where to look. In Prešeren Square, Slovenia’s greatest poet still gazes across at the woman he loved but never won. Cross the Triple Bridge to Plečnik’s riverside market, where the architect hid a clever trick in plain sight, then meet the dragons guarding the Dragon Bridge. Find out what Jason and the Argonauts have to do with them, and when they’re said to wag their tails.

Your licensed local guide traces the city from Roman Emona to the capital Plečnik always believed it would become. It’s ideal for families and small groups, with stops for coffee or ice cream whenever you like. Message us after booking and we’ll tailor the walk to your interests.
