Ljubljana is one of those cities that may look pretty ordinary at first glance, but the real magic starts when you are roaming around and discovering new unusual spots along the way—such as these three quirky places.
Metelkova Art Center
The abandoned Slovenian military barracks have been transformed into Ljubljana’s most popular art center with the punk-rock vibe. Covered in graffiti, folk art, tile mosaics, and weird sculptures, Metelkova is now the heart of the city’s alternative scene.
Dragon Bridge
Dragon Bridge may be one of Ljubljana’s most popular attractions, but that doesn’t take away from its quirky quality. This attraction adds an aura of mysticism to Slovenia’s capital—fairytale bridges decorated with dragon statues aren’t exactly something you get to see everywhere.
Cyanometer
This monolithic structure in the center of Ljubljana may seem pretty ordinary at first, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Its main purpose is to measure the blueness of the sky, as a way of showing the quality of air, and it’s best known for changing its color to match it.
