Novi Trg (square) - Ljubliana

Novi trg (New Square) is a refined public space in the historic center of Ljubljana, located between the Ljubljanica River and the National and University Library (NUK). Though called “new,” the square has deep historical roots and has been revitalized in recent years into a vibrant urban plaza. Surrounded by important cultural and academic institutions—such as NUK, the City Museum of Ljubljana, and the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SAZU)—Novi trg offers a unique blend of history, architecture, and everyday life. From the square, you can admire the majestic façade of Jože Plečnik’s library, elegant Baroque and Renaissance buildings, and views toward Ljubljana Castle.

Krizevniska ulica

Križevniška ulica is a charming, cobbled street in the heart of Ljubljana’s old town, just steps away from the Ljubljanica River and tucked behind the Križanke complex. Known for its artistic flair and peaceful atmosphere, the street is lined with galleries, cultural institutions, and cozy cafés, making it a hidden gem for those exploring the city’s more intimate corners. A unique local character tied to Križevniška ulica is barber Robert, a beloved figure known not just for his traditional barbershop but also for his role in shaping the street’s identity. More than just a place for a haircut, Robert’s shop became a cultural meeting point, filled with stories, music, and artistic touches. His creative spirit contributed to the street’s revival and charm, helping transform it into one of the most atmospheric and personalized spots in Ljubljana.
