Ljubljana Old Town

30 min

Ljubljana's old Medieval town is one of the sweetest around. Cant miss it. Actually, most of the sites we see on-tour are in the Old Town, so saying its 30 minutes is not quite right.

One of Ljubljana's favorite meeting points, this former Medieval shopping mall has a few stories to tell.
National and University Library
