Ljubljana Castle Funicular
Highlight • Structure
The idea, desire and need to build a funicular connecting the Old Town with Ljubljana Castle are more than a century old.
The modern and unobtrusively designed funicular, which complements the traditional cultural identity of Ljubljana Castle, is popular with both domestic and foreign visitors. Particularly attractive in good weather, when it offers a beautiful view of the city, it is indispensable due to its fast and convenient connection with the Old Town. To preserve the green surroundings in the wider area of the Castle Hill, the funicular is your right decision and at the same time the experience with which you start your visit to Ljubljana Castle.
At the 21st Industrial Design Biennale in 2008, designers Miha Kerin and Majda Kregar from the Ambient design studio received a gold medal for the best achievement of industrial design for the design of the funicular.

Ljubljana Old Town
Highlight • Settlement
The old town hall, which houses the seat of the Ljubljana Municipality, was built in the late 15th century by Peter Bezlaj. The building acquired its current appearance in 1717-19, when it was extended by the architect Gregor Maček Sr. according to plans by Carlo Martinuzzi. The town hall was later rebuilt several times. The most extensive reconstruction took place in 1963 according to plans by Svetozar Križaj.
The front facade shows Venetian influence. In the vestibule, a late Gothic plaque with a coat of arms has been preserved as a remnant of the old building, as well as a late 17th century statue of Hercules with a lion that once stood on the Hercules fountain on Stari trg square. In the courtyard arcades there is also a Narcissus fountain, a work by the sculptor Francesco Robba, which was originally located in the Bokalce Castle. Next to the stairs is a monument to Mayor Ivan Hribar (1851-41).
