A very nice center of the city. Do not expect anything grand, like in other European capitals. Preseren Square is a bit more quiet, a bit more calm, while the buildings are a bit smaller. Yet they are very colorful and have their own charm. This is the central location of Ljubljana, and thus should be visited. More

Preseren Square is next to the triple bridge and other sightseeing attractions. There is an undercover large cafe in the square with reasonable prices. Other outlets in the area include a McCafe and some more local bars and coffee houses. The square is a natural starting point for sightseeing in Ljubljana More

Locals usually meet at Prešeren square, since it is in the very heart of the pedestrian zone and next to the lovely Three bridges. Follow the gaze of the statue of the Slovenian most famous poet France Prešeren and you will see a portrait of his beloved Julija on the facade of the opposite building. More

This square is in the middle of everything, near the triple bridge, the city market. A meet point. Preseren was their most famous poet and deserved a statue for sure. More

This is the spot in town, ladies & gents. This is where the best people watching goes down and the central nervous system to Ljubljana. Beautiful story behind Peresan and Julija as well. More
