    • We will start in the vicinity of Central Market with Plečnik's building which is mainly forgotten but has a namesake building in the USA. Then we will get to know the first one of the UNESCO heritage sites on our way: a magnificent, long, white building where you can find many traditional and local foods. We will look inside and see some unique places.  
    • Right next to the market is the world-famous Tripple Bridge. Not only we will walk over it, but realize many secrets that one can read if he looks carefully. 
    • Next is the Cobblers Bridge - one of the favourite bridges of local people. There exists a song dedicated to this bridge.
    • Then, the National and University Library - many say that this is the best and the ultimate work of Jože Plečnik, and it can not be missed.
    • See the Congress Square - what started as a square for a Congress two centuries ago became Plečnik's work in the next century. This is where many of Plečnik's paths cross, and it also offers an incredible playground to explore Plečnik's fascinations.  
    • Lastly, Križanke - The last work that the greatest Slovenian architect did before its death, has secret corners, patios and many stories. We even meet the architect itself here... in spirit and three dimensions.
