The most popular of these attractions is the Ljubljana Castle which offers beautiful sweeping views of the city from its watchtower. As well as the usual historical exhibits, there are some excellent restaurants within the castle that are worth a visit. On the way up to the castle, you will make your way through the city’s Old Town lined with 19th-century wooden shop fronts, quiet courtyards, and cobblestone passageways.
The Ljubljana Botanical Gardens are the country’s oldest cultural, scientific and educational institution, established in 1804. There are over 4,500 different species and subspecies in the gardens, a third of which are native to Slovenia.
