Top destination around Ljubljanica Waterfront - Ljubljana

When visiting the capital of Slovenia, it goes without saying that one must go explore its main attraction - Ljubljana Grad. Built in the 15th century on the site of an older fortress, the castle was used as a fortification for the following three centuries, although its watchtower was not attached to the building until 1848. At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, the castle served another purpose as a prison, and later, until the 60s of the last century, the poor lived in the castle. Today, the building houses a collection, thanks to which one can learn the history of the Slovenian capital, as well as a puppet theater staging stunning theater performances and a puppet museum (Lutkovni Muzej). The building can be reached by funicular.

The Town Hall building (Mestna Hiša) is also worth mentioning. It is noteworthy for its architecture harmoniously combining the Baroque, Renaissance and Secession styles. Although Galerija Emporium is currently occupied by a department store, the building is certainly worth a visit as an attraction. It's all about its wonderful Art Nouveau exterior. The building was built in 1903 and has always performed its original function of a branded clothing store. Hauptmannova Hiša built in 1873 is equally noteworthy, as it is one of the few buildings that survived the earthquake of 1895. However, in 1905, the house was redesigned in the secession style.
