A visit to Ljubljana, Slovenia

in Worldmappin2 years ago

Hello everyone. After visiting Slovenia last weekend, I am still there in my thoughts, so I chose some photos from my previous trip to this country, a few years ago, to share with you and I will start with Ljubljana, the capital and the largest city in Slovenia.

When I visited Ljubljana, my first impression was the stunning architecture through which different historical periods can be felt. I saw a lot of beautiful buildings, in different colors, with different ornaments which delighted me.

Also, I liked the bridges very much. There are many bridges in Ljubljana over the river Ljubljanica that flows through the city.

I especially liked the Dragon Bridge, a popular tourist attraction. According to legend, Greek mythical heroes fought a monster Ljubljana Dragon and today it is a symbol of the city because of its power, strength, and courage.

Locals also know other legends about the dragon. According to one legend, when a virgin crosses a bridge, dragons will wag their tails. It is also known that the locals gave the dragon the nickname "mother-in-law", due to its fiery nature. 🙂

In addition to bridges, Ljubljana is adorned with many fountains.

There are fountains and statues all around as well as beautiful churches.

There is no doubt that Ljubljana is one of the most beautiful European capitals I have visited. The atmosphere in the city is very pleasant.

I felt most comfortable during the evening walk. You can walk for hours by the river and you will not be bored because there is a walking area everywhere and the city has everything you need to have a good time, cafes, restaurants, shops, etc.

And if you are in love, you will enjoy romantic evening walks here for sure. Even if it rains.

I remember this rain. We hid somewhere around the corner and ate delicious ice cream. 🙂

If you want to see the whole city in the palm of your hand, you can visit Ljubljana Castle.

This castle has played a significant historical role and the view of the city from here is amazing.

It's a really beautiful place. The story from your walk felt like having a tour guide from my couch lol. Thank you for the beautiful pics of the city. That ice cream sure looks yummy.

I'm glad you got that impression. Slovenia is one of the most beautiful countries I have visited. And yes, the ice cream was delicious. 😊

It's a pretty place 🥰. I like the architecture

The architecture is really impressive. In this post, I have shown only a small part of the beauty of this city. It's worth a visit.

The city is very beautiful. How your reflection with beautiful images taken is not ineffective in better introducing the city. I also like bridges in the city.

Thank you very much. I also liked the bridges the most. I was afraid that my images would not be beautiful enough to show all the beauty of this city in the right way because the city is amazing.

I regularly visit Ljubljana.

That's nice. I wish I had a chance to go there more often. 😊

Damn!... Beautiful houses, beautiful views.

I'll definitely add Solvenia to my list of countries to visit 🤗

Yes, wherever you turn around there are beautiful views. Slovenia's great travel destination.

Thanks for the Info.. Will keep that in mind🤗

Wow!!!! It's beautiful city

It is indeed. Thanks for stopping by. 😊

The architecture and colors of the houses here are beautiful.

Yes, everything is colorful there. A beautiful city.

I am Italian and Slovenia is not far from where I live. I admit that until now I have never thought of going to visit this country. Your post made me want to think about going there one day to visit it. Thanks for sharing

Thanks. Yes it really is a beautiful place, worth a visit.
