To be as small a city as Ljubljana is, there are still some things to do and see. But it is a great pleasure to just walk in the beautiful city. It may have little to do with the city being named the European Capital of Environment in 2016, so in addition to being a romantic city with many bridges, dragons and a river, it is also clean and car-free. Stroll around the old town and find antiques, look at the colorful facades and take an evening stroll over all the illuminated bridges. Sit in a small boat and take a trip across the river and see the city from another direction or go up to the large castle built on a hill and get an overview of the whole city. The castle also has a courtyard, a coffee house and a chapel. Go scouting for dragons, there is a special preference for dragons here actually and you will find smaller and larger dragons in alleys, on bridges, under bridges and a little everywhere in the city. In Slovenia, locally produced and organic food has been a matter of course for a long time. That is why there is not much sign of it either. Slovenian cuisine has begun to attract glances from all over the world and there is plenty to do.

Take a break in Tivoli Park, which is a large green area on the outskirts of the city. Relax among ponds and fountains, settle on the grass and munch on picnics. Look into the greenhouse which has a few thousand different plant species that grow so it cracks. Sometimes there are photo exhibitions and other nice events in the park.
