About Triple Bridge

The Triple Bridge is a group of three separate bridges within a few meters of each other, crossing the Ljubljanica river right in the heart of Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana. The bridge has a Venetian look to it and is one of the most photographed tourist attractions in Ljubljana. It is part of the pedestrian zone in the historic old centre of the city.

The bridge is always lively with tourists and locals. It is surrounded by historic Art Nouveau and Secession style buildings. There are often street musicians on the bridge. It’s not a place to eat or drink, just to walk through and admire the river and location.
