Before you go
What the guide flags for families.
- The centre is flat and car-free, so strollers roll easily; cobbles on side lanes slow them down. (Kids)
- The funicular to the castle, the boat on the river and Tivoli Park's playgrounds are the child favourites. (Kids)
- The Ljubljana Zoo on Rožnik hill and the Technical Museum in Bistra are half-day options (check hours). (Kids)
