Every city tells wonderful stories, and Ljubljana is no exception. These stories tell about people, events, symbols, myths, and beliefs, and are best told through exploring art and architecture of the city and its development through time. I invite you to join me in one such exploration. Disregard dry history lectures, and immerse yourself into story-telling, symbolism, art, and architecture. I am an award-winning tourist worker from Ljubljana with close to two decades of experience, who has dedicated his life to sharing knowledge, and putting smiles on people’s faces.
Why chose a 1 hour 30 minutes walking tour instead of the ones which last 2 hours or more? Most people lose focus after 1hour 30minutes of listening. So, avoid the full bladder, heat or cold, and back pain, pay less and enjoy more. In case you wish to know more, I add 15 to 20 minutes of questions at the end of the tour anyway. So, please join me and book.

What To Expect
Preseren Square
* The love story of France Prešeren: our most famous poet whose statue adorns the main square, who passionately has his eyes on his unrequited love to this day. * The clash between faith and art: the priest from the red church clashes with the artist of the statue. * Different architecture, different time periods, different stories: the fascinating reason why the Art Nouveaux buildings are so colourful, and why we have the tripple bridge.
Butcher's Bridge
* The architecture: the connectin of the medieval castle, and its walls, to the modern architecture of the market, and the bridge. * Where the statues tell tales: the story behind the Adam and Eve, Satyr, Prometheus, but also behind the Dragon statues on the neighbouring Dragon Bridge. The statues reveal a connection between symbolism of the Greek, Christian, and Slavic mythology, creating a dream-like atmosphere.
