Ljubljana

Ljubljana is the compact capital of Slovenia, its historic centre defined by a Baroque and Art Nouveau streetscape along the Ljubljanica River designed in part by architect Jože Plečnik in the interwar years. The castle above the old town is reached by funicular and commands views over the city's red-tiled roofscape and the distant Alps. The Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge are the most recognisable landmarks in a city that is walkable and human-scaled.
