Description
The tour begins at a central meeting point where you will get a bicycle and a helmet. From there, your guide will lead you across Plečnik's Market and through Ljubljana Old Town, give you some brief information about all the city's major sights along the way, and then steer you to the pleasant green Ljubljanica embankments in the city's Prule area, a perfect place to take a break. Prule is the site of a revamped embankment known as Špica, whose name, translating as 'Pointed End', refers to its pointed shape. Špica was once used as the city beach, and its pleasant grassed and wooden surfaces still make it look like one today. After a short rest, you will jump on your bicycle again and cross a bridge spanning the Gruber Channel to reach a green area including the Ljubljana Botanic Garden, one of Europe's oldest institutions of its kind and one of Ljubljana's most magnificent green gems. From there, you will pedal through the Krakovo area, a pearl in the crown of urban gardening in Ljubljana since the Middle Ages, and continue towards Tivoli Park. A ride along Plečnik's Promenade, which connects Tivoli Park to the city center, will bring you to the central Slovenska cesta road, which has been closed to general traffic since 2015. You will pedal past the famous Nebotičnik building and continue towards one of Ljubljana's most diverse attractions, the Metelkova mesto alternative culture center. A ride along one of Ljubljana's oldest streets, the lovely little Trubarjeva ulica, which is full of food and drink outlets and tiny shops for alternative tastes, will bring you back to your starting point. During the tour, you will have time to enjoy a rest and a picnic snack.Includes
