Some cities make me feel great and Ljubljana is one of them. It’s clean, safe and vibrant. I find it relaxing to stroll along the beautiful streets of the city absorbing all the fabulous energy it has to offer. London is the only other city that I feel as comfortable in as I do Ljubljana.
There are hundreds of gorgeous statues and sculptures throughout the city. Here are but a few:
France Prešeren ~ a prolific Slovenia poet/writer and National Hero in the early 1800s.
Adam & Eve being banished from the Garden of Eden. Located at The Butcher’s Bridge over Ljubljanica River, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Prometheus statue by Jacov Brdar
Another one of the amazing Dragon statues
Not sure about this sculpture ~ looks like “Seymour” from “Little Shop of Horrors.” Logan thinks it symbolises the painter being consumed by his/her artwork. I have to agree with her…
These pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.

I didn’t want to bore the readers by going into too much detail but since you asked about “why the dragon”, see my latest post 😉

On our previous trips to Ljubljana, we stayed at the Union Hotel which is in a fabulous location (one block from the Triple Bridge). But since we’re traveling during the high season of summer and didn’t want to spend a fortune, we opted for the Central Hotel which was less expensive. It’s run by the same company that owns the Union Hotel and it’s only a few blocks up from the Triple Bridge. Had such a nice time, we extended for an additional night.
