On our walk we’ll see the most important sights in the old city centre and some hidden corners only a few get to know.
Depends on your time (Choose between 2, 3 or 4 hour tour) and interest we can explore the remains of the Romans in quiet part of the centre. We can head toward some (beautiful!) modernist architecture or get to see the communist era with parliament.
The story of Roman town starts around year zero and lasts until the fall of the western Roman empire, but stories, findings, ruins, legends, believes… live on.
While searching for those we will explore the less visited part of Ljubljana centre. The tour takes place outside the medieval part of Ljubljana, in a part that was actually built in close relation to the Roman Emona. Even if built in the seventies in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Do you dare to look there?

Let’s stroll through park-like cemetery, full of history, inspiring art and remarkable Garden of All Saints.
Ljubljana’s cemetery, called Žale, is a remarkable piece of work, with some special tombs. We will see the Jewish Cemetery, The Memorial Park and some amazing statues by famous Slovenian sculptors. But first, the one and only, Garden of All Saints, spectacular architect Plečnik’s work.
They say you didn’t really visit New York if you didn’t walk through its Central Park and I claim the same for Ljubljana’s Tivoli Park. Locals adore this green heaven as it offers many possibilities to make every day more enjoyable: peace and quiet, fresh air, a place for exercise and more. There is a pond, a phenological park, rose garden, beehives and a greenhouse. There are 2 palaces and 2 former hotels and a multitude of statues and fountains. Did you know that the only place where you can legally feed birds and squirrels is in Tičistan, special part of Tivoli?
Cheer with a beekeeper, touch the wood, see what Slovenians were making through centuries.

Over the centuries, the inhabitants of the city have used various stones for construction and decoration. Hear stories of Ljubljana’s sights and find out what they are made of.

Have you heard a story about the indigenous greenish stone called “čizlakit” and is only found in Slovenia? How about the famous “podpečan” used since The Romans and absolutely adored by Plečnik?
