Description
Dragons are seen everywhere in Ljubljana: on buildings, on bridges, on the streets, on the Ljubljana flag, on cakes, on T-shirts, in art, in sports. In this interactive Online Experience live-streamed from the Slovenian capital, you will get the opportunity to visit and experience many of them from the comfort of your own home!
I will begin our tour by telling you about the Ancient Greek legend that was slightly modified when it reached Ljubljana in the 17th century - an origin story of sorts since the Greek hero Jazon and his Argonauts are believed to build the city. We will then visit the famous Dragon Bridge, a beautifully designed bridge in the art-nouveau style that gained popularity over a century ago. On our way, we will see the oldest stone-carved dragon which even many locals don’t know about. We will then visit the Vegan Dragon, the Chocolate Dragon and the highest dragon as we enter Medieval Ljubljana - but there are more, a few of them even in the beautiful courtyard of the City Hall, where we will head next.
Sports fans will be happy to hear that the supporters of the Olimpija branch of sports clubs in Ljubljana are called The Green Dragons. The most famous of them all is probably the golden dragon, a symbol of the biggest and oldest Ljubljana brewery. In this tour, you will see a few contemporary dragons along the Ljubljanica River. While looking up, in the direction of Ljubljana Castle, you would be able to see the Chapel of St. George. The tour will end with a beautiful view of the Ljubljanica River and of the houses settled along its banks.

My name, surprisingly, can be found only in Slovenia. I was born in Ljubljana where I have lived for most of my life. Even without moving I have changed two countries and three currencies. I like Ljubljana a lot and I love to show it to the visitors from across the globe. I love the Ljubljana's green side, its calmness and its originality. I love its stories and legends and I love to talk about them. I have designed different themed walks in Ljubljana and I am passionate when taking you along my path.
