Ljubljana may not seem like much at the first glance, but you’ll get to discover many tiny wonders in this city if you give it a chance. Countless quirky attractions are scattered across the Slovenian capital, and here are three you should discover while roaming its streets.
Dragon Bridge
Dragon Bridge is impossible to miss since it’s one of Ljubljana’s top attractions, but there’s still an aura of quirkiness around it. You don’t exactly get to see bridges decorated with dragon statues every day, and Ljubljana is one of the few cities in the world that offer this experience.
Metelkova Art Center
If you like alternative places with an edgy vibe, Metelkova is just the thing you need. This art center was built on the grounds of abandoned military barracks, and it now serves as the heart of Ljubljana’s alternative scene. Even if you don’t intend to attend a concert on its premises, you’ll enjoy checking out graffiti, folk art, tile mosaics, and weird sculptures that it’s covered with.
Cyanometer
Unless you know what this monolithic structure truly is, you’ll probably miss it while exploring the city center, but it’s worth stopping for. Cyanometer shows the quality of air by measuring the blueness of the sky, and it’s really amazing to watch it change colors throughout the day.
