Why It’s the Best Starting Point
Triple Bridge is the moment where Ljubljana’s rhythm becomes obvious: people strolling, terraces filling, and the river guiding you like a beautiful main street. It’s not just a crossing—it’s the city’s favorite meeting spot.
Start here and the rest of your day almost plans itself: river promenade → market arcades → Old Town lanes → castle viewpoint.

The square + bridge cluster is the core of Ljubljana’s walking experience—perfect for sunrise photos and evening atmosphere.
How to Experience It (Without Rushing)
1) Do the “Two Times” Trick
Cross the bridge twice: once early (quiet and clean lines), then again at night when the river reflections do the work for you.
2) Let the River Pull You Forward
From here, follow the water toward the market arcades. It’s Ljubljana’s signature “walk a little, stop a little” route.
3) End With a View
If you want a perfect day arc: bridge → market → castle at golden hour → dinner by the river.

Triple Bridge connects Prešeren Square with the riverside promenade in the Old Town core. It’s the natural “start button” for most first-time walking routes.

Yes. Even a quick pass gives you the “Ljubljana feeling,” and it connects directly to the most scenic river walk.
