A general knowledge to start with - The capital of Slovenia is Ljubljana.
Historically, Slovenia is formerly a division of Yugoslavia.
Slovenia is placed
in the centers of Hungary (on the east), Croatia (on the south), Italy (on the
south west) and Austria (on the north). Moreover, Slovenia has a wide and small
extended coast in Adriatic where it can be reached by ferry from ports in
Trieste, Italy.Despite the fact that it is a capital city of Slovenia, Ljubljana
has a small area of land.
Ljubljana has populations of 330,000 whereby 10% of
the populations are students. This is the main reason of why Ljubljana has
youthful atmospheres. However, Ljubljana is not only declared as the capital and
biggest city in Slovenia.
This capital city is the only "real city" in Slovenia
since its neighbour city, Maribor, in the direction North East, is known as the
second city in Slovenia with the populations of 100,000 and plays role as the
main core of Slovenia's cultural activity and business. Still, Maribor does not
have the specification of what Ljubljana has.The river of Ljubljana, which is
called as Ljubljanica flows all over through the capital city but it seem likely
to be an inland waterway as it flows through the city.
There are lots of road
bridges and pedestrians on both sides of Ljubljanica but these three bridges,
Triple Bridge ( a tri-zig-zagged path bridge), Dragon Bridge (ornamented with
well-carved green dragons and it is believed among local folks that these
dragons will wag their tail whenever a virgins pass by the bridge), and
Shoemakers Bridge (well known of the spot where shoemakers works during the
medieval times) are the most remarkable for the ones who are most likely to use
these bridges to cross in or out of the city.
The river has a color of
astonishing turquoise-green which looks really beautiful when the light of the
city is bright especially at night. For one who prefers to have romantic
atmospheres, they can hire a Venetian looks gondola to cruise around the
city.Moreover, Ljubljana is the type of city where tourists can keep walking
without feeling of visiting the attractions of the city.
Through the old town,
their primary street connects Stari trg and Mestni trg. Trg is known as Square
in Slovenian. The Robba Fountain and the Magistrat can be found in Mestni Square
as well as the fountain which portrays three Tritons and is sculpted on one of
Rome's where these three tritons stand for the three rivers in Ljubljana.There
are plenty of museums in Ljubljana.
The primary museum area is located at the
north of Republike Square. Normally, during the first time of visiting this
square, tourists usually will think that Republike Square only contains the
Culture centre, congress centre and parliament building but the square actually
is built as a large carpark area which is surrounded by these buildings.
The
museum offers the natural history and section covered history, collections of
coins , varieties of minerals sample and gems and collections of Rome
Empire archaeological finds.
