On this day trip to Ljubljana from Trieste, Italy, we'll cross the border into Slovenia to visit the stunning capital with its historical center and magnificent castle.
Day Trip to Ljubljana
We'll pick you up at your selected pickup point at the established time and head towards the Slovenian border. The scenic road trip will take a bit over an hour before we reach the charming city of Ljubljana.
This beautiful capital city is the cultural, economic, political, and administrative center of the country. Its rich history is reflected in its heritage and the contrast between medieval and baroque architecture, a fascinating mix!
We'll visit the old town of Ljubljana, where we'll admire the design of architect Jože Plečnik, who transformed a simple provincial town into a bustling capital city by remodeling the center and building bridges, squares, and parks.
On our guided tour of Ljubljana, we'll of course pass by the must-see buildings, such as the Town Hall and the Cathedral. We'll also stroll through Prešeren Square and Congress Square, and cross the Triple Bridge and the Cobblers' Bridge. At midday, we'll take a break of about forty-five minutes so that you can have lunch on your own in a local restaurant.
The Ljubljana Dragon, the symbol of the city who lives in the Castle Tower, is another highlight. We'll take a cable car up to the imposing fortress and visit the inside, reaching its highest points to enjoy fantastic panoramic views.
Afterwards, we'll return to Trieste, where we'll arrive 6 hours after pickup.
