Self-Guided Walking Tours in Slovenia

2 free self-guided walking tours, with an audio guide at every stop.

Ljubljana's old town lies in a bend of the river below its castle hill, and much of what you walk past, the Triple Bridge and the riverside market colonnade included, was designed by the architect Jože Plečnik.

Our self-guided walk starts at the Triple Bridge, passes the Central Market and St Nicholas's Cathedral, crosses the Dragon Bridge and climbs to Ljubljana Castle for the view. About 50 minutes and 2.1 km.

Free, no app, no signup: the narration for each stop plays as you arrive.
