The City
A green capital on a human scale
Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and a compact
European city where urban life, green spaces and
the Ljubljanica River are closely connected.
The historic city centre has been closed to regular
car traffic since 2008, creating extensive pedestrian
areas and making walking and cycling important parts
of everyday mobility. Ljubljana was also named
European Green Capital in 2016.
From a Slow Tourism perspective, Ljubljana offers
opportunities to experience a destination at a slower
pace through local mobility, public spaces, riverside
areas and connections between urban life and nature.
Experience Ljubljana
Between city, river and green spaces
Ljubljana’s compact structure and sustainable
mobility create different ways to experience
the city beyond traditional sightseeing.
Riverside
Ljubljanica River
The Ljubljanica runs through the historic
centre and connects bridges, public spaces,
markets and riverside neighbourhoods.
Explore
Car-free city centre
Large parts of central Ljubljana are designed
for pedestrians and cyclists, making slower
forms of mobility a natural way to discover
the city.
Perspective
A green urban destination
Parks, wooded hills and other green spaces
create opportunities to explore how tourism,
