5 BEST spots for your perfect Ljubljana photo!

Visiting Slovenia will, without a doubt, leave you with some great memories — and if you do it right, some great photos too! As local travel bloggers, we thought we’d share some of our favorite spots in Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, that are perfect for striking a pose or snapping a selfie.

Ljubljana may be small, but it’s full of life.

You can’t go wrong snapping a beautiful photo anywhere in the Ljubljana Old Town or along the Ljubljanica River. But when this central and often touristy part of the city gets crowded — especially in summer — finding your perfect photo spot under the Ljubljana sky can become a bit of a challenge.

But here’s what you can do:

1. Find a small platform along the Ljubljanica River …

… and you’ll get the unique views of the Ljubljana Castle and many of those pretty houses of Ljubljana Old Town!

2. Head under the bridge — to Makalonca Café …

… and get the perfect shot of the Triple Bridge and the iconic pink façade of the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation in the background — all while sipping an espresso!

3. Snap a photo at Dragon Bridge with the iconic Ljubljana dragon …

…the dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana, and no photo album from the city is complete without it!

4. Yes, Ljubljana even has a skyscraper — and it comes with one of the best panoramic views in the city!

… the views of the city from the terrace of Ljubljana’s skyscraper — locally known as Nebotičnik — are absolutely breathtaking!

5. Visiting Ljubljana Castle is always a good idea …

… You can either walk up for some fresh air and exercise or take the cable car for a quick and scenic ride to the top. Don’t forget to snap some photos — the panoramic views of the city from the castle are truly stunning!Last but not least – Ljubljana Castle!

You can walk up to the castle or take a cable car.
