  2. EF3 extends a warm welcome to Ljubljana Although Ljubljana is one of the youngest capitals in the European Union, it nevertheless reveals a long history and a real wealth of cultural and artistic monuments. A city with a medieval heart, a city of the Baroque and Art Nouveau, with an old castle resting above it like a sleeping beauty. Allow yourselves to be guided past historical sights, featuring the mysterious old squares, narrow streets, churches and fountains. Discover also the masterpieces of the monumental architectural visionary JožePlečnik, who made Ljubljana famous and placed it among the modern capitals of the 20th century. Welcome to Ljubljana

  3. Some history • Capital of the Republic of Slovenia, a European Union member state since 2004 • Area: 275 sq km (170.8 sq mi) • Population: 280,000 • Official language: Slovenian; people in Slovenia are generally well versed in English;those living near the Austrian and Italian borders also in German and Italian • Symbol: Ljubljana Dragon • Currency: Euro (since 2007) • Time zone: GMT + 1 hour • Legend about the origin of Ljubljana • Ljubljana is said to be founded by the Greek mythological hero Jason, who had stolen the golden fleece from King Aetes and fled from him, along with his fellow Argonauts on the ship Argo, across the Black Sea and up the rivers Danube, Sava and Ljubljanica all the way to the source of the later. There the Argonauts disassembled their ship to be able to carry it to • the Adriatic Sea, put it together again, and return to Greece. On their way to the sea, they made a stop at Ljubljana Marshes, the dwelling place of a monster, which Jason fought and killed. The monster, now referred to as the Ljubljana Dragon, found its place atop the castle tower depicted on the Ljubljana coat of arms. • Twin Towns – Sister Cities • Vienna, Austria • Graz, Austria • Brussels, Belgium • Chengdu, China • Chemnitz, Germany • Leverkusen, Germany • Wiesbaden, Germany • Parma, Italy • Pesaro, Italy • Nottingham, United Kingdom • Cleveland, United States

  4. Things to see • Ljubljana Castle • Ljubljana Castle hangs omnipresent above the city. There is a tourist train up there from Prešernovtrg, as well as a modern funicular from Krekovtrg, but a better option is to walk up the steep slopes and savour the view of the city and surrounding mountains in the distance. From June to September, the castle's history is brought to life by knowledgeable guides who lead visitors through the various halls, chapel and the dungeon. Year round, a hi-tech audiovisual show delves into the history of the city, including that of the castle, showing how it has evolved throughout the ages and been influenced by the surrounding countries, their rulers and architects • MestniMuzej Ljubljana (City Museum Ljubljana) • The impressive City Museum of Ljubljana is housed in the elegant Auersperg Palace, with myriad displays, children's workshops, adult classes, as well as a congress hall and a relaxed café. The main permanent collections follow the evolution of the city, the Auersperg family and Ljubljana's citizens. Look out too for remnants of old Roman Ljubljana in the lower floor, which have recently been excavated.

  5. Things to see • Old Town Squares • Mestnitrg, Staritrg and Gornjitrg are connecting squares, which hug the base of Castle Hill and ripple through the heart of the Old Town in a flurry of appealing baroque and medieval buildings. Many of Ljubljana’s most popular cafés, bars and restaurants are located in or around these long squares, which buzz with life day and night, especially in summer. This cobbled expanse is the best venue in Ljubljana for an aimless stroll, stopping off for a bite to eat or drink on the way. • Prešernovtrg (Prešeren Square) • The centrepiece of Ljubljana's wonderful architectural aesthetic is this marvellous square, a public space of understated elegance that not only serves as the link between the Centre district and the Old Town but as the city's favourite meeting point. The square itself is dominated by a monument to the national poet France Prešeren. • Immediately south of the statue is the city's architectural poster-child, the small but much celebrated Triple Bridge (Tromostovje). The original bridge (1842) was nothing spectacular, but between 1929 and 1932 architect JožePlečnik added the two pedestrian side bridges, furnished with stone railings and lamps and forced a name change. Stairways on each of the side bridges lead down to the poplar-lined terraces along the Ljubljanica River.
