Tivoli Park and Mansion Tours and Tickets

The 1970s and 1980s punk music in Slovenia was amazing. It was very unique in the Communist East. And very unique in the whole world! ‘Children of Socialism’, 'Via Ofenziva', ‘Ljubljana Dogs’, ‘Bastards’, ‘Berlin Wall’, ‘Ciao Bitches!’, ‘The Tattletales’ and ‘Niet’, these are just a few names of the bands that were turning an alternative scene into an opposition movement. The Slovenian punk scene was comprised of middle-class and working-class youth that was often beaten up and imprisoned by Communist authorities. However, many of the punk bands were supported by the League of Socialist Youth and were able to release their records on state-controlled labels. Come and join a bike ride back to the socialist punk times, accompanied by amazing music and radical lyrics.

Hi, my name is Živa and I love hosting bike tours! I have been doing this for 5 years now. Why take my tour? Two reasons; I have lived in Ljubljana for most of my life and know it like the back of my hand, and my tours only allow 3 or 4 people at the time, making smaller, friendlier, and definitely more fun tours. So come, let's explore this amazing town together!

This is an all-encompassing 4-hour trip to the classic and avant-garde coolness of Ljubljana. It reveals as much about its Medieval, Habsburg and Socialist past as it does about its contemporary position on the crossroads between Central Europe and the Balkans. The tour deals with the urban heart of the city, its creative soul and its independent spirit. You will see ancient monasteries put to alternative use, while discovering what Metelkova, Rog Factory, Jože Plečnik, Slavoj Žižek and Luka Dončić are all about. Not to mention amazing graffiti and street art gems. (The price includes a delicious warm snack.)

THE CASTLE RUN Our goal is to make our way up to and back from the historic, Ljubljana castle. Although we have some uphill running in the first half of the tour, the magnificent city view we experience from the castle makes it all worthwhile. Before we start the ascent, we will visit park Tivoli to see the exhibition of large-format photographs, open throughout the year. We take a different route to and from the castle, so manage to explore all of the city's major attractions, like the works of the famous 20th-century architect Jože Plečnik, Dragon bridge, Prešeren Square, Central market, Robba Fountain and many more… We will take care of the route, but you are in charge of the pace :)

Can you imagine visiting New York and not walking through Central Park? Well, it is like this in Ljubljana. You have not truly seen Ljubljana without a nice, pleasant walk through park Tivoli or even ascent to the little hill above the park named Rožnik, The Flowery Hill. We will do that! Walk up the nicest and easiest path to the top of the hill (only 100 m ascent) and stroll below the mighty chestnuts trees in Tivoli park. On the way we will talk about the interesting things about Slovenia, Ljubljana, Rožnik Hill and Tivoli. We will talk about a lynx couple that escaped the ZOO and a bear that lived at Rožnik for a while. We will see some incredible architecture, statues, beautiful trees, Ljubljana's biggest shame, amazing views and possibly a squirrel or two. I promise there won't be any bears!

What a great way to explore Ljubljana – on wheels! Not only the main attractions, located in the pedestrian zone, but an unique opportunity to cover a wider area without skipping the cozy stops where locals enjoy soaking up the city vibe. Hop on a comfortable fat-tire stylish beach cruiser bicycle and enjoy Ljubljana from a different perspective. The main advantage of exploring the lively capital on two wheels is the ability to see interesting places outside of the pedestrian city center.
