Spotlight on Ljubljana

Ljubljana, Slovenia, which has been described as a “little Prague” has much of the beauty and charm of the latter but without the hordes of tourists.  Even though it is a fairly large city, Ljubljana has a small town feel, and, because of its University, seems forever young-at-heart. Some of the memorable sights within the Old Town include the Cathedral of St Nicholas,

with its twin towers and beautiful frescoes, the Robba Fountain, modeled after one in Rome, the Town Hall, the Triple Bridge, over the Ljubljanica River, which also offers a beautiful riverside Colonnade,

and the obligatory Ljubljana Castle, at the top of the hill.

All the major sights of this delightful city can be accessed via Gary’s “Walking Tour of Ljubljana,” available for purchase on this website for just $1.49.
