Best of Ljubljanica River Experience 2023
The Ljubljanica River quietly weaves its way through the city with the old town on one bank and the bustling cosmopolitan side of the city on the other. As relaxing as it is to take a cafe seat on either bank and watch the boats cruise by, there’s a whole new experience to enjoy by getting onto the water yourself. Which of these is your favourite?
Ladjica Barjanka
With the beautiful Ljubljanica river flowing through the centre of the city, there’s surely no better way to experience all the wondrous sights than to float along with it. The half or full hour boat trips run all year around and can seat up to 40 people. From the enclosed bar, which gives perfect protection from both summer and winter temperatures, you’ll enjoy many of Ljubljana’s striking landmarks and architecture from a whole new perspective - which will surely add the wow-factor to those holiday snaps.
