Ljubljana by Josh

 Many of the buildings of the old town were from centuries ago but the earthquake of 1895 destroyed most of them. So the current buildings are 19th century; some even have the date of 1903 on them; note the canopy of wrought iron and glass; first of its kind here.

 In the old town square is a statue of Preseren. He is the national poet. The muse that is with him is a real lady whom he loved; but he never told her. So most of his poetry is about unrequited love.

Dragon Bridge.

 Ljubljana is the capitol of Slovenia. Its patron saint is Saint George. The legend of Saint George and the Dragon describes the saint taming and slaying a dragon that demanded human sacrifices; the saint thereby rescues the princess chosen as the next offering. So he slew the dragon of Lujbljana (the "j's" are silent). You will see pictures of the dragons on the four corners of the Dragon Bridge.

Ljubljana castle is free of charge

 I would just like to correct you about a few things 😀. The Ljubljana castle is free of charge, you can enter for free. But once you are inside you can pay extra if you want to climb the tower or see an exhibition.   You wrote "public transportation in Ljubljana is free". May I ask where you got this information? As a resident of Ljubljana I do wish it was free 😀. But the city bus costs 1.20€ for 90min.

Anyway happy to hear you had a good time 💚. Natasha

lake Bohinj is just as beautiful as Lake Bled

 We loved Slovenia. Its our favourite country in Europe. We are a travel family and found that it had so much to offer kids as well. There is an awesome Optical Illusion Museum in Ljubljana for kids and other than the stunning scenery; my daughter also loved visiting the Lipizan Horses in Lipica. I hear lake Bohinj is just as beautiful as Lake Bled, but not as touristy. We will definitely be going back. Thanks for the tips. Rosina Dimech
