Ljubljana Landmarks: The Castle, the River and the Bridges

The fixed sights each get a page of their own: Ljubljana Castle on its hill, the Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge down at river level, the cathedral, the Plečnik market colonnade, and Tivoli Park at the edge of the centre. Every entry explains what the place is, how it sits relative to Prešeren Square, and what to look at once you are standing there. These are the city itself, not tour products.
