Prešeren Square in Ljubljana, with the pink Franciscan Church and the Triple Bridge
Ljubljana · Where to stay

Staying in Krakovo and Trnovo

The Gradaščica stream helps make sense of these streets: follow it toward the Ljubljanica to connect a neighborhood walk with the riverside. Compare addresses near Krakovo's lanes with those farther south in Trnovo, as the distance adds up on repeated walks. Eipprova ulica and Trnovo Bridge provide useful landmarks when planning a route back after dinner.
