Top things to do in Ljubljana 

As the capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana is a perfect introduction to the country. Located on the intersection of the four main roads covering Slovenia, it’s also a great base if you’re looking to get out of the city and explore other regions. Whether you’re looking to do some restaurant and bar hopping, wander through markets, visit the main tourist sites, or simply relax with a picnic, Ljubljana is a worthwhile inclusion on your European itinerary.

Attractions and activities in Ljubljana

Are you excited about the idea of visiting Ljubljana? You should be. This city has so much to offer travelers, and given that it’s still somewhat off the beaten track, it’s unlikely you’ll be battling the crowds you might face in Athens, Berlin, or other major European cities. 

To help you plan your itinerary and enjoy Ljubljana to the fullest, here are some “must-see, must-do” attractions and activities:

Preseren Square

A cobblestone paved and pedestrianized square in the heart of Ljubljana’s Old Town, this public area is always teeming with life. Named after the famous Slovenian poet France Preseren, this lively square is often the location of different city events and is worth a wander just for the people watching. Take in the views of the Triple Bridge, Dragon Bridge, Ljubljenica River and the historic buildings, or sit at a cafe and observe the crowds passing by. 

Want to explore the square and learn all about it from a guide? Free walking tours are available from some of the tourist offices at the edge of the square. 

Triple Bridge

The picturesque Triple Bridge dates back to 1842. Composed of three bridges across the Ljubljanica River, it’s one of the most iconic monuments in the city. The bridge connects the medieval town of Ljubljana with the modern part. 

Get a picture of the beautiful bridge that turns magical when lit up at night, then go for a stroll along the river to admire the view and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. Remember to drop off any bags or backpacks before you visit the historic town and the Triple Bridge. 

Ljubljana Castle

One of the most popular sites in the city, the medieval Ljubljana Castle sits above the city and can be reached by a designated tourist train. The main courtyard has a cafe, restaurant, galleries and even a nightclub, so make sure you allocate enough time to enjoy the site and all it has to offer.

Ljubljana Castle bag policy

Visitors to the museum can use a small locker to stow items at the entrance to the Museum of Puppetry, although they may be full at peak times. Store your belongings with us near the castle. We can take luggage of any size, storing it for as long as you need.

Tivoli Park

When you need to stretch your legs from a day of sightseeing, you’ll find this place to be just right. A green oasis in the heart of the city, Tivoli Park is one of the largest parks in Ljubljana. Here, people come to rest, hike, explore, run, cycle and more. 

Don’t make the mistake of bringing heavy shopping bags or large backpacks to this beautiful park. Store your luggage at one of the luggage storage locations nearby and enjoy the park hands-free. But you can pack your lunch basket and put your comfy shoes on, as you might spend an entire day in this lovely park.

Transit options in Ljubljana 

Getting around Ljubljana is easy, especially if you base yourself in the city center. In fact, you’ll probably spend a lot of time getting around on foot as this is one of the best ways to get a feel for the city. You can also choose to use these transport options:

Bike

One of the best ways to get around Ljubljana is by bike. Most hotels offer free bike rentals, but you can also use either the city's BicikeLJ bicycle-sharing system or the Ljubljana Bike Project. With the first, you can ride a bike for free for the first hour and pay €1 to €4 for additional hours. If you return the bike before the hour expires and wait for five minutes before renting again, you end up riding for free as long as the rides are less than an hour. 

With the second bike rental, you pay €2 for 2 hours and €8 for additional hours. Both options are affordable, making cycling one of the best and cheapest transit options in the city.  

If you need to store your bike for a few hours, we can help. Our left luggage facilities can be found all across Ljubljana, and unlike city or railway station lockers, we have no restrictions on the luggage you want to store. Contact our customer support team, and they’ll direct you to a location to match your requirements.

Bus 

While there’s no need to use the bus to get around Ljubljana, taking the bus may be useful when venturing outside the city, exploring the suburbs, or going to the airport. Ljubljana’s bus network operates 42 bus lines that cover the city and suburbs.

To ride the bus in Ljubljana, you’ll need to purchase an Urbana card, which you can find for €2 at any LPP ticket office, post offices, some kiosks, and information centers. An hour and a half ride on the bus costs anywhere from €1.20 to €2.50, depending on the zone. A one-way ticket to the airport costs around €4. 

Taxi

Much like in other European cities, taxis are readily available in Ljubljana and the airport, and they’re the most convenient way to get around the city. However, they’re also the priciest. Expect to pay anywhere from €20 to €40 from the city center to the airport or vice versa.
