Meander down the Ljubljanica river by canoeing

Ljubljana
Country: Slovenia
For those with an adventurous bent of mind, canoeing is a unique opportunity to see Ljubljana from a different perspective and observe the famous city centre architecture. The river Ljubljanica, with its interesting bridges and picturesque old city centre embankments, is one of Ljubljana’s most notable landmarks. It runs straight through the centre of Ljubljana. The deep turquoise colour gives it a hue of warmth.

Canoes are ideal for paddling down Slovenia’s quieter rivers and for pottering around on the beautiful lakes. Canoeing along the river Ljubljanica through Ljubljana itself is quite popular. Canoes are also available for hire on many of the lakes in Slovenia and many local operators offer inflatable mini-rafts for rent so one can meander down the stunning river scenery. Instead of boarding any of the several boat cruises sailing up and down the river, canoeing would be a great way to see the city from another angle. Skip the idea of taking one of the expensive river boat cruises and rent a canoe for a fraction of the price and take it easy at a leisurely pace.
