Ljubljana is one of the prettiest capitals in Europe for
exploring on foot. For the business traveller staying in the city centre I
would definitely recommend walking from your hotel to your meeting rather than
taking a taxi. The buildings are a pleasant mixture of Austrian, Italian and
Slavic architecture. On my way to a meeting I walked through Prešeren Square
and would definitely recommend that any visitor should explore this small but
delightful city centre. It is dominated by the very pink and rather splendid Baroque
church Frančiškanska cerkev
(The Franciscan Churh of the Annunciation). The square is more of
a circle than an actual square and looks very pristine and elegant with its
granite block pavement and its statue of Slovenia's national poet France
Prešeren in its centre.
I would also recommend looking at the little bridges in this area that cross
the Ljubljanica river especially the ornate eligance of Tromostovje (Triple
Bridge) or the wonderful dragon on Zmajskimost (Dragon Bridge).
