2-hour Ljubljana walking tour plus a funicular ride to Ljubljana Castle. See Plečnik’s Triple Bridge, St. Nicholas, and more.

“Ljubljana is a quaint city and the important sights are all within a short walk. So a walking tour is the ideal way to get to know the city. In a walking tour, having a good guide is critical and our guide Alan did not disappoint. The only dampener was literally the weather, as the rain came soon after the walk began. But Alan did a good job of moving from spot to spot when there were short breaks in between the showers.”
