Ljubljana Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

🇸🇮Landmark of Slovenia : Dragon Bridge🐉

Attraction: Dragon Bridge Location: Resljeva cesta 2, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia Direction: 10 minutes walk from City Center This is a significant bridge in Slovenia, located in Ljubljana , the capital city. This 33.3 meters long bridge was built in the beginning of the 20th century, when Ljubljana was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Dragon bridge was also one of Europe's earliest reinforced concrete bridges and the first such bridge in Ljubljana. It was the first bridge in Slovenia to be paved with asphalt. This is a place where many tourist will come and take pictures with.📸 #timetotravel #slovenia #Ljubljana #Bridge

We visited Ljubljana in September and found it to be one of the loveliest old towns in Europe. Loved Ljubljana! Beautiful area!

Does this look familiar? The image of a Western dragon in Ljubljana, Slovenia

Most of the countries in the Balkan region are predominantly Catholic. Staying at the Intercontinental, the Intercontinental Hotel in Ljubljana is very close to the bridges, Dragon Bridge, Triple Bridge, and you can even see the scenery from the balcony. The city is not big, and it's very suitable for walking around and sightseeing. ✅Must experience: The magnificent Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in Ljubljana, the capital of the Republic of Slovenia, with its pink facade, attracts many devout believers and feels like a place of compassion. But not far from here, on the large bronze doors of another church, are carved the portraits of several former archbishops, each looking sinister and cunning, giving a chilling feeling. ❤Recommended reason: On the railings of the bridge over the Ljubljanica River, there are four dragons guarding peace, clearly the prototypes referenced in American blockbusters. Here, he is the guardian dragon of peace. This is in stark contrast to the evil dragons of Croatia. 🧳Pre-trip preparation: Between the Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge, there is a Lover's Bridge completed in 2010, covered with colorful locks of couples, attracting the interest of children. But the bronze sculptures of artists on the bridge seem to roar: Don't play these fake tricks, to deceive others as well as yourself. The most memorable thing here should actually be the great 19th-century poet France Prešeren. His verse: 'Where the sunlight shines, there is no more war, all are free brethren.' has become the goal of all who love peace around the world. Another toast poem has become the national anthem, I wonder if it also comes from his collection of poems? But it is widely known, its simplicity, sincerity, and plainness speak to people's hearts, let's share it here as well: 👍Most recommended: May God bless all nations, Work tirelessly for better days. Then in the world's dwellings, There will be no more wars and conflicts to torment. Cherish the peace in your eyes, Everyone enjoys freedom and happiness. No enemies, Only good neighboring countries. Everyone enjoys freedom and happiness, No enemies, Only good neighboring countries.

Ljubljana Castle 🏰

#timetotravel My visit to Ljubljana Castle in Slovenia was an enchanting experience that offered a perfect blend of history and modernity. Perched on a hill overlooking the charming city of Ljubljana, this castle is a true symbol of the capital. Exploring the castle's well-preserved medieval architecture and exhibits was a journey through time. The castle's interactive museum displays and the iconic dragon motif of Ljubljana left a lasting impression. The highlight of my visit was ascending the castle's tower for a panoramic view of the city. The breathtaking vistas of Ljubljana's red-roofed old town and the lush green surroundings were simply magical. Ljubljana Castle also offers a delightful dining experience at its restaurants, making it a perfect spot to relax and savor traditional Slovenian cuisine. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking stunning views, Ljubljana Castle is a must-visit destination that captures the essence of Slovenia's capital. #slovenia #ljubljana

Dragon unfolds the Ljubljana Castle story

Ljubljana Castle, located in Slovenia's capital city, has a rich history dating back to prehistoric times. Over the centuries, it has served as a Roman fortress, a medieval stronghold, and a symbol of power for various ruling dynasties. The castle has witnessed multiple architectural transformations and played a significant role in the city's development. Today, it stands as a popular tourist destination, offering panoramic views, cultural exhibitions, and historical insights into Ljubljana's past. In the heart of Ljubljana, where legends dance, Stands the castle proud, in its majestic stance. As the bronze dragon from the bridge I gaze, Witnessing history unfold, through timeless days. From battlements high, I survey the land, Where kings and queens once held their command. Through centuries of change, my watch remains, A sentinel perched, amidst ancient remains. Oh, Ljubljana Castle, a tale I tell, Of knights, and conquests, where stories dwell. May your walls endure, through ages untold, As I guard the bridge, a witness bold. #mytripvlog #awesomepic #本地遊 #bucketlistreboot #2022trip

Ljubljana - picturesque, romantic city.

#timetotravel I’m not sure what harder? Getting there or spelling the word? 😉 One thing for sure, I was captivated by its romantic, picturesque sights. I was here on my long wkend stop over from Bled. I would say, it’s one of those cities I exceptionally adore. Love the vibrance on days, and the serenity in the night. Although it may be enough to go around on a day trip, I highly suggest 2-3days to fully immersed the city.

THE BEAUTY OF SLOVENIA

THE BEAUTY OF SLOVENIA date: 20 July going there: by flight solo trip Today is my lazy day in Prague, Czech Republic ... I suppose to visit Bohemian Switzerland National Park in Northern Czech today, located 2 hours from Prague ... but it's one of those day you just don't feel it 😅 ... "Can I make it on time to catch a train?, Do I feel like hiking today?, What if the hiking trails is too hard for me, I don't have a suitable shoes, what if its raining? What if I get lost in the woods alone, urghh this bed is so comfortable... " 🙄 alasan bertengkek-tengkek ... Last2 aku jadi pemanas tilam je la hari ni. 😆 Before I came here, I spent a week in sLOVEnia ... As I said before this one is beautiful ... I should spend more time there ... Well ... there's always next time ... Late spring & summer should be great, when I can enjoy a longer daytime ... Yeah ... As much as I love autumn ... We only get more or less 8 hours of daylight a day ... Pukul 5 ptg tu dah bergelap dah ... I'm not saying it's limited ... But still, if you want to do an outdoor activities you better start super early in the morning. (Ermm no! ... I'm on vacation man ... Waking up late suppose to be part of it 😆) Tarikan utama di Slovenia sudah tentunya pergunungan Alps & banyak tasik disekitarnya. Ljubljana, Bled, Bohinj & Triglav National Park adalah antara tempat yang aku lawati semasa di sana. Slovenia is a part of European Union, they use Euro as a currency and it has a modern infrastructure which you can use to reach any part of this country. I totally surprised that it seem almost everyone here can speak English fluently and people here are really polite and friendly to visitors, so I got no problem asking for help or directions. Ljubljana is a small city ... You can pretty much explore it in a day. I like the laid back vibe of this city compared to hustle and bustle and touristy cities of other European countries. Many different nations and cultures have shaped Slovenia throughout the ages and they all have left some characteristic marks to this new independent country. Traveling in Slovenia is definitely cheaper compared to West or Central Europe and Scandinavian Countries. I only spent 10 euro a night for an accommodation, 3-10 euro for a meal and under 10 euro for a bus ride pretty much everywhere in Slovenia. The highlight of my time here definitely my visit to Lake Bohinj and Triglav National Park. This place will take your breath away for sure! For me Slovenia may be a small country but it undoubtedly such a destination, and it will completely blow your mind once you start to explore it. 😎 PS: S❤️venia ... I'll be back 😘
