About this tour
This longer session follows the quieter lanes behind Shoemakers' Bridge, away from the busiest crossings and squares. You see an older bridge named for a vanished trade, a narrow lane with details most visitors miss, and a corner that has kept its character while the centre changed around it. It stays in this one quieter pocket of the old town.
I move at a relaxed pace through the narrow lanes, pause at each corner for questions, and point out details that are easy to miss when walking quickly.
This suits anyone who wants a quieter side of the old town beyond the main square. It also suits return visitors looking for streets they have not covered before.
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
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 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.
-
Shoemakers' Bridge 21 min
You see the older, quieter bridge named for the trade once based nearby, and I explain how different it feels compared with the busier crossings just up the river.
-
Stari trg Lane 21 min
The camera moves into a narrow lane behind the bridge, and I point out details on the older façades that most people miss while heading straight for the main square.
-
Gornji trg Corner 21 min
We finish at a quiet corner further along, and I describe how this stretch has kept its older character while streets closer to the centre have changed around it.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Ljubljana: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Potica and Center, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- 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 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
