With its grand architecture and thriving café culture Ljubljana is Slovenia's answer to Prague. On this tour we'll whisk you over the Italian border and take you on a two-hour walking tour through this charm-packed city. Ljubljana's origins are as ancient as they come - it's said that the mythical Greek hero Jason founded the place after stealing the Golden Fleece. These days it's the Baroque Old Town that gets all the attention. It's nestled on the right bank of the Ljubljanica River at the foot of forested Castle Hill. You'll have a chance to duck inside Ljubljana Cathedral with its peaches and cream exterior before having a look at the burnished insides of the Church of the Annunciation. You'll also wander past a dragon-topped bridge and the fruit stalls of the Central Market. Other sights to tick off include the Cathedral of St Nicholas Bishop's Palace and the Triple Bridge.. Afterwards you'll have plenty of free time to dig around the Old Town or kick back in one of the city's ubiquitous coffee shops before you head back to Trieste.
