The capital of the beautiful European country of Slovenia is rarely considered by tourists as a resort, which is not sorry to spend the long-awaited vacation. And in vain. After all, in reality Ljubljana is an interesting, romantic city with an ancient castle on a hill, narrow streets, old mansions, shady parks and small coffee houses. She is not inferior to the famous Slovenian resorts, such as the horns Slatina, Bled or Thalasso Stunganyan. Quiet and cozy city perfectly fits into the frame of the resort, suitable for recreation with children. Here there is something to show small travelers and how to please them.
Ljubljana is erected on the residues of the Roman fortress and, accordingly, consists of the old part and the modern quarter. However, examining the city with children, it will be hard to notice the transition between new and old buildings. They are perfectly neighboring and thus create a unique architectural style of Ljubljana.
In order for Ljubljana to attract children, it is best to get acquainted with it to start with a visit to the Ljubljana Grad. First, you can get to town on a tourist train or in a clear cabin of the funicular. And this, of course, it will be like a small adventure, which will impress the children.

Throughout the summer, theatrical ideas are held on the territory of Grad, participation in which entertaining active and inquisitive children.
For further inspection of the city, it will be necessary to relocate in its central part, the area formed by bridges. This part of Ljubljana is called - Tromostovye. At the area located here, three ancient bridges are found at once. In general, there are a lot of bridges in Ljubljana and each of them is decorated in a special way. One majestic bridge guard the discovered Dragons. And it is he who is considered one of the symbols of Ljubljana. Another bridge was chosen by the terrible bronze insects and through its partially transparent bottom of the currently visible on the bottom of the Lubljanitsa River. On the glass transition, a nicknamed bridge of butcher, children run without feasts, which will not say about some adult tourists. Some travelers look very funny when standing on the glass edge of the bridge, try to hang a memorable lock on the railing with one hand, while the second they strongly hold onto the fence.
The city center will have to be inspected on foot, since it is a pedestrian zone. Children can safely run through the paved slanting streets without fear of cars. And when someone from the participants of the walk gets ridiculous or hungry, it will be possible to look at the nearest cafe or honey shop (Sladoled), where it turns out to eat meat pie or baked potatoes with cottage cheese, and order a delicious ice cream portion. Capricious children can be pampered with liver corn, which in the season is sold directly "from wheels" of small mobile trains.
