Get to know the most important sights of the old city centre of Ljubljana and let a tourist boat take you on a cruise along the Ljubljanica river.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure and experience the Slovenian capital in its finest light. This exclusive private tour combines an exciting exploration of historic streets with a beautiful panoramic boat ride.

Together with an experienced local guide, you will discover hidden corners and the greatest sights of Ljubljana, while feeling the unique pulse of a city that charms every visitor.

Part 1: On Foot Through Centuries of History and Architecture

Our exploration begins at the lively Prešeren Square, proudly adorned by the iconic pink facade of the Franciscan Church. We will step onto the famous Triple Bridge (Tromostovje), a unique architectural masterpiece by Jože Plečnik that opens the doors to the ancient city center.

Our path will lead us past the colorful stalls of Plečnik's Market, where local life beats, to the mighty St. Nicholas Cathedral, renowned for its stunning baroque frescoes. In front of the Town Hall (Magistrat), we will stop by the elegant Robba Fountain, which symbolizes three Slovenian rivers, and then cross the romantic Cobblers' Bridge (Čevljarski most), once a gathering place for city artisans.

We continue our walk through the cultural and academic heart of the city.

You will be captivated by the monumental architecture of the National and University Library (NUK), considered the pinnacle of Plečnik's genius. Just a step away, we will admire the mystical Križanke, a former monastery and today one of the most beautiful summer theaters.

We conclude the first part of the tour at the elegant Congress Square (Kongresni trg), which offers the most beautiful photographic view of the mighty Ljubljana Castle.

Part 2: A Magical Ride on a Tourist Boat along the Ljubljanica River

From the city streets, we move to the river, which gives Ljubljana its unmistakable, relaxed character. In the very center of the city, you will board a comfortable tourist boat. During the cruise, you will indulge in a completely new perspective of the city. You will admire the picturesque, green embankments, sail under famous bridges, and watch the bustle of the riverside cafes.

The boat ride is the perfect conclusion to the day, allowing you to relax and enjoy the breeze and romantic views of the city's architecture.
