Ljubljana is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, but still a bit of a secret. See the Slovenian landmarks on foot and learn everything there is to know from your local guide; from who did what on its many bridges, to why the city's statues seem to be doing strange things with their hands. Check out colorful Art Nouveau buildings, step foot in medieval squares, sample local flavors along the way, and get a return funicular ride to the 900-year-old Ljubljana Castle on the hill.
