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.

I LOV IT - Tivoli Park Tour

Can you imagine visiting New York and not walking through Central Park? Well, it is like this in Ljubljana. You have not truly seen Ljubljana without a nice, pleasant walk through park Tivoli. We will do that! On our stroll below the mighty chestnuts trees in Tivoli park we will talk about the interesting things about Slovenia, Ljubljana, and Tivoli. We will see 2 mentions, a pond, a rose garden, many sculptures, hidden art and more. We might talk about a lynx couple that escaped the ZOO and a bear that lived at Rožnik for a while. But on our walk I promise there won't be any bears! Possibly a squirrel or two.

Plečnik's Ljubljana -UNESCO heritage- A walk among architect Plecnik's creations

The most splendid of them all, architect Jože Plečnik transformed a little town into the capital of Slovenes and his works have been recently recognized as UNESCO heritage. Let's talk about master Plečnik, his work and his life. He was many things: architect, professor, dog owner, cat owner, coffee lover, and a chain smoker. Never a husband or father, but a mentor to his students. We will see the iconic, must-see places and look at many hidden corners where he did his magic. And magic it was! :) I will show you his work that is not even listed in books. Are you ready for so much of Plečnik? Don't worry. If you get tired we can stop for Plečnik's tea or.... a cup of Plečnik's favourite wine.
