Hey, view lover! This one’s for you. Take a scenic cruise on the Ljubljanica River, see the historical bridges from a different perspective, and admire one of the most beautiful Christmas markets from a waterway that takes you right through it. If you wish to admire the captivating lights from a higher perspective, we recommend you head up to Ljubljana Castle or relax with a hot drink on the Nebotičnik – Skyscraper rooftop, which is also the very first Slovenia skyscraper.
If you happen to be a fan of ice skating, Ljubljana can offer you many options that will satisfy your needs. Hop on the inside skating rinks of Tivoli and Zalog or find an outdoor ice-skating venue of your choice. Skate beneath the stars and create unforgettable memories. Don’t worry if you forgot your skates – you can always rent them out.
