This family's experience:

Activities: We had fun counting the dragons and looking for griffins in Ljubljana, as it's a symbol of the city! We enjoyed strolling through the pedestrian center, walking along the river, and wandering through the market

Highlights: The children were thrilled to find the dragon symbol everywhere. Ljubljana is a very pleasant, human-sized city with a peaceful charm. A city so colorful and well-maintained that it has a little Disney-like quality ✨
