Visit the iconic Ljubljana Castle for breathtaking city views, while learning about the rich history of major landmarks. This immersive experience is perfect for all ages and abilities.

Sprehodite se po starem mestnem jedru in spoznajte vse najpomembnejše znamenitosti. V okviru ogleda obiščete tudi Ljubljanski grad in si privoščite razgled na mesto z grajskega obzidja.

Redni ogled se prične pred TIC Ljubljana in se nadaljuje po starem mestnem jedru, zaznamovanem s svojevrstno arhitekturno podobo, katero sta deloma zaznamovala barok in secesija, predvsem pa stvaritve slovitega arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika.

Od Magistrata z Robbovim vodnjakom se podate peš na ogled starega mestnega jedra, kjer spoznate zgodovino vseh večjih znamenitosti. Sprehodite se preko Čevljarskega mostu in mimo NUK-a do Križank in do Kongresnega trga, nato pa do Prešernovega trga, ki ga najbolj zaznamuje Frančiškanska cerkev in povezanost s Tromostovjem, do Plečnikovih tržnic s Stolnico.

Ljubljanski grad, ki na griču nad mestom stoji že okrog 900 let, je glavna znamenitost Ljubljane. V okviru ogleda se seznanite z njegovo zgodovino in si privoščite razgled na mesto z grajskega obzidja.
