The castle has witnessed multiple architectural transformations and played a significant role in the city's development. Today, it stands as a popular tourist destination, offering panoramic views, cultural exhibitions, and historical insights into Ljubljana's past. In the heart of Ljubljana, where legends dance, Stands the castle proud, in its majestic stance. As the bronze dragon from the bridge I gaze, Witnessing history unfold, through timeless days. From battlements high, I survey the land, Where kings and queens once held their command. Through centuries of change, my watch remains, A sentinel perched, amidst ancient remains. Oh, Ljubljana Castle, a tale I tell, Of knights, and conquests, where stories dwell. May your walls endure, through ages untold, As I guard the bridge, a witness bold. #mytripvlog #awesomepic #本地遊 #bucketlistreboot #2022trip

🌿When the wind from the Alps blows across the blue of the Adriatic Sea, at the crossroads of Balkan and Central European civilizations, an emerald city guarded by a flying dragon is unfolding its fairy-tale painting. As Europe's first "zero-waste capital", Ljubljana interprets the ultimate ideal of green living to the world with its 63% urban greening rate and direct drinking water system throughout the city. Walking out of the airport and driving towards the city center, I looked out the car window and the scenery before me unfolded like a painting. The Ljubljanica River flows quietly through the city. The buildings on both sides are simple and elegant, as if telling a thousand-year-old story. The square in the city center is the heart of Ljubljana. The ancient clock tower and modern sculptures complement each other, showing the city's unique temperament of respecting history and daring to innovate. Attractions Tips 🗺️Time and Space Coordinate Axis This pocket capital has an excellent geographical location: you can drive to St. Mark's Square in Venice in 1.5 hours to listen to the bells, and you can feel the music of Vienna's Golden Hall in 3 hours. The unique geographical location has given birth to the unique temperament of "the intersection of three civilizations" - the romantic arcades of Venice, the Baroque domes of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the colorful murals of the Slavic peoples, interweaving on both sides of the Ljubljanica River to create a fantasy world of time and space. 🏰Must-visit landmarks 1️⃣ Dragon Fortress (Ljubljana Castle) It is recommended to take the glass cable car built in 1901 to the top. At the top of the 11th-century castle, when dusk covers the city with a golden veil, the geometric symphony composed of bell towers, churches and red roofs will slowly unfold under your feet. The knightly jousting performances every Saturday take people back to the medieval era of knights. 2️⃣ Feilong Bridge Legend Theater The four bronze flying dragons are not only a great place for taking photos, but also contain a secret: listen carefully to the lamppost at the bridge head, and the built-in audio device will tell the legend of the dragon slayer. It is recommended to visit on a full moon night, when the dragon's pupils will glow green. 3️⃣ Triple Bridge Art Gallery Architect Plechinek’s magical masterpiece, with crescent-shaped secondary bridges extending on both sides of the central main bridge, forming a unique "bridge square". There are often open-air jazz performances on summer nights, and the reflections on the river surface turn the music into a flowing river of stars. 🚶🏻‍♀️Citywalk Golden Route 9:00am Feed the pigeons at Preseren Square → Decipher the murals at Francisca Church → Touch the dragon claws for blessings when crossing the Dragon Bridge 12:00pm Buy wild berry honey at the Central Market → Taste the "Dragon Feast" set menu at the riverside restaurant Čompa 2:00pm Stroll around the Metelkova Art District and visit the punk gallery transformed from a military camp 5:00pm Wait for the sunset at the Castle Hill Observation Deck and use a telescope to look for the remaining snow on the top of the Alps 8:00pm Join the "Dragon's Night Watch" themed tour and decipher the city's dark night legends under the guidance of professional actors

The hike is short but slightly steep, taking around 20–30 minutes, depending on your pace.

In the heart of Ljubljana, the Ljubljana Castle (Ljubljanski grad) stands tall and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Originally built as a defensive fortress in the 11th century, the castle has a rich history of expansions in medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. In the 15th century, it was rebuilt as a stone fortress by the Habsburg dynasty to defend against the Ottoman Empire. Over the years, it has served as a noble residence and a prison. After extensive restoration in the mid-20th century, it is now used as a museum and cultural space. The castle's observation tower offers stunning views of Ljubljana and the Alps, showcasing a blend of medieval and Renaissance architecture.

#100TravelWays From Taiwan to Slovenia 🇸🇮, it took 27 hours to travel across half the world. When night fell, guided by the stars, we drove 498 kilometers and more than five hours from Budapest, Hungary to Ljubljana, Slovenia. Walking in the center of Ljubljana in the early morning when the time difference has not been adjusted, the #Dragon Bridge stands quietly in the night of the city. The giant bronze dragon on the bridge appears lifelike under the dim light, as if guarding the city's long-standing legend. In the alley next to the bridge, I found a Michelin-recommended Japanese restaurant #Sushimama, which perfectly soothed the fatigue and hunger during the journey. I was also lucky enough to get a table at the Michelin one-star restaurant #Strelec in the Ljubljana Castle, so I could enjoy exquisite cuisine without having to make a two-month advance reservation. This restaurant not only uses rigorous ingredients, but its cuisine also incorporates Slovenian history and culture, making people feel like they are back in time at a medieval feast. #TravelDiary

#October travel support event In our country, the rich live near the water, and the poor live in the mountains, but in other countries, it's the opposite. Ljubljana Castle is also on top of the mountain. Thanks to that, the view was really good (I think they would have known it was the first if the enemy invaded) Don't worry, there's an escalator when you go up.

It is one of the main attractions of the city. Climb up the castle to overlook the magnificent view of the entire city, with red rooftops stretching out in a beautiful panorama! Ljubljana is immersed in an omnipresent green environment. The city was awarded the title of European Green Capital in 2016, making it a city with a green soul!

Traveling in Slovenia is actually quite popular, mostly among Europeans and Americans. For Asians, it is a relatively niche destination. During my several hiking trips, I encountered locals walking their dogs. Once, a dog stopped and stared at me until I passed by, and another time, a big yellow dog barked at me while retreating. The owner told me not to be afraid, as the dog had never seen an Oriental person and wouldn't harm me. I think there are not many Asian tour groups here, possibly because it is a place for summer retreats, cycling, vacations, and hiking. However, in the small towns I passed through, I saw Chinese restaurants and shops. Every time I saw a sign in Chinese, it warmed my heart.

[A good place to take pictures] I arrived at Lake Bohinj after about 30 minutes by bus from Bled!! I was actually a little embarrassed when I arrived..;; I looked at the Instagram photos and was really excited, but maybe because the sun hadn't risen, the lake wasn't completely blueㅠㅠ But it was still so pretty and it felt completely different from the lakes in Korea, so it was very memorable!! The water was really clear and there were so many ducks🫶🏻 It's a place I want to visit again when the weather is clear, so I definitely recommend it to you all! #EuropeanTravel
