Mala Osojnica

Climb the peak above Bled which will enthuse you with their magnificent views. Climbing the Mala Osojnica (685 metres) will take about 45 minutes along a steep forest path. The most beautiful views of Lake Bled and its surroundings, the Karavanke, Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe mountain ranges and the Ljubljana basin await you.

Ojstrica

The climb to Ojstrica takes about 20 minutes, it is short but steep, and will award you with an exceptional view from the top. There is a bench at the top, offering a romantic panoramic view of Lake Bled. You can see Straža and the steep castle cliff, Stol mountain, Savska raven plain and the long ridge of the west Karavanke mountain range. You can also see the peaks of Vrtača, Begunjščica, Dobrča and many others.

Cankarjevo Nabrezje

Reviewed By stinkwink - Sydney, Australia

A beautiful long promenade on the bank the Ljubljanica River with plenty of places to spend your time and money. Here is the Ribji Square with the lovely fountain the Zlata Ribica restaurant, coffees, and bars everywhere, music and the fragrance of the food streaming out to the street, and the river and bridges are giving the romantic background. This part of Ljubljana is always busy, always full of life and seemingly part of it never goes to sleep. A site to visit day and night.

5. Cathedral of St. Nicholas (Stolnica Sv. Nikolaja)

Cathedral of St. Nicholas (Stolnica Sv. Nikolaja)

Reviewed By Sonnymao

It's not that impressive from the outside (after seeing all the wonderful churches in Europe you tend to be too hard-to-please!) But once you step through the massive bronze doors (recent additions from Pope John Paul II's visit in 1992). Wondrous frescoes and artwork welcome you - Pink marble and frescoes by the Italian Baroque master Giulio Quaglio glow inside Ljubljana’s St. Nicholas Cathedral. It is a crime not to see this stunningly gorgeous church when you are in Ljubljana. And admission is free!

Triple Bridge (Tromostovje)

Reviewed By dori_lukey - Singapore, Singapore

The main bridge in Ljubljana that every tourist must visit as it connects two main squares between the old and new town. It is also the widest pedestrian bridge across the river due to its name and due to its status, it is always crowded with people. Gives you a good view of the river and the different attractions, and is usually quite festive. Really enjoyed the atmosphere here.

Plecnik House

Reviewed By Jeffroyals

My wife and I visited the house. It was not easy to find and would benefit from clearer signage. We took the tour on offer and really enjoyed looking around the house and garden. We were able to store our bags in a locker during the tour. There are toilets on site for visitors.
