About this tour
This session covers Fužine Castle and the quiet riverside path beside it, a part of Ljubljana most visitors never reach. You see a Renaissance-era castle that once controlled river traffic outside the old city boundary, then a stretch of path with almost none of the centre's crowds. It stays on this eastern edge of the city.
I move at a relaxed pace between the castle and the path, explain the site's history in full, and take questions as they come up.
This suits anyone who wants a quieter, less visited side of Ljubljana. It also suits viewers with a specific interest in regional castles.
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.
-
Fužine Castle Exterior 21 min
You see the Renaissance-era castle on the eastern edge of the city, and I explain how it once controlled river traffic well outside what was then the city's boundary.
-
Eastern Riverside Path 21 min
The camera follows a quiet stretch of riverside path nearby, and I point out how different the pace feels here compared with the busy centre a short ride away.
-
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: Idrija žlikrofi and Center, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.

- 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.
