About this tour
This session moves from the lobby of Ljubljana's old skyscraper up to its rooftop bar, tracing a route I once walked daily for a different job entirely. You see why the building mattered when it first opened and then the wide view it still offers over the surrounding rooftops. It stays inside this single building throughout.
I move steadily from the entrance to the roof, pause at the top as the evening light changes, and take questions about the building or the skyline as they come up.
This suits anyone curious about the city's skyline rather than another ground-level walk. It also suits visitors deciding where to watch an evening settle over Ljubljana.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Ljubljana before heading out.
-
Skyscraper Lobby and History 21 min
You see the entrance I used to walk through for work, and I explain why this building was once considered one of the tallest in this part of Europe when it opened.
-
Rooftop Bar View 21 min
The camera reaches the open rooftop, and I point out how the city spreads out in every direction once you are above the older rooftops around it.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Ljubljana: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Potica and Old Town, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Ljubljana time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 8 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Ljubljana, showing you Skyscraper Lobby and History and Rooftop Bar View live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
How it works
- You get one join link after booking.
- Join from any device: phone, tablet or laptop.
- We meet on Google Meet in the lobby. I keep the phone steady in the lift and again once we reach the open roof.
