Travel Guide to Ljubljana, Slovenia

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and the largest city in the country. The city is situated on the bank of the Ljubljanica River. Ljubljana is a large industrial region with numerous well-developed industries such as pharmaceutics, leather and footwear, food processing, woodworking, chemical, textile, machinery, paper and printing.

Even though Ljubljana is a capital of the country, this is a relatively small and very beautiful city, which stands on both banks of the river. This place is famous for its castle - the Ljubljana Castle - built in the Baroque style. The design of the castle has kept the elements of Roman, Illyrian and Celtic buildings. The main attraction of Ljubljana is its main square named Prešeren, which was built in the XVII century. Franciscan church built in the Baroque style is located nearby. Ljubljana can be easily distinguished from other cities of Slovenia for its three central bridges built for pedestrians. The bridges are named Tromostovje and are decorated with fanciful dragons. Tourists can also visit St. Nicholas Cathedral, Bishop's Palace with its covered gallery, the church of St. Jacob, numerous Ljubljana palaces, and enjoy the architectural ensemble of the Revolution Square.

The city is especially beautiful at night. You can watch it from the windows of night cafes and restaurants.
