Ljubljana, Slovenia: City of Dragons | What to See and Do in a Day

Ljubljana, Slovenia is known as the City of Dragons and these winged creatures are the symbol of Slovenia's charming capital city. Legend goes that the city was founded by Jason (of Jason and the Argonauts) when he killed a dragon near the source of the Ljubljanica River. The dragon is a symbol of pride as a protector of the city and you find dragons everywhere, from the coat of arms to the bridges to the souvenir postcards. In this video, we explore the historical city centre by both land and water, before making our way to a Slovenian art commune called Metelkova Art Center. You don't want to miss Ljubljana's castle, which sits high above the city, the Triple Bridge, the pink church, and, of course, the Dragon Bridge. To top it all off, we try a traditional Slovenian food that is so special its recipe is protected by law: Slovenian National Cake. Get your own slice...you won't want to share!
