- The Ljubljana Castle - Perched on a hill for nearly 900 years, Ljubljana Castle is the city’s premier attraction.
- Triple Bridge (Tromostovje) - The central bridge of the Triple Bridge has been in place since 1842, replacing an old medieval wooden bridge that connected north-western Europe with south-eastern Europe and the Balkans. Between 1929 and 1932, architect Jože Plečnik added pedestrian side bridges to the original stone bridge, creating a unique architectural masterpiece in Ljubljana.
- Bananaway - Stand Up Paddle Tour in Ljubljana - The starting point for the SUP trip at Spica is a modern café on Gruber embankment in Ljubljana, offering a wide variety of options. Enjoy (non-alcoholic) cocktails, vegetable smoothies, sundaes, ice cream drinks, Lolitine candy, sandwiches, and more. Spica Coffee is not just for small talk and relaxation; it also hosts culinary schools and wine-themed evenings, complete with music and dance.
- Dragon Bridge (Zmajski Most) - Dragon Bridge is the most enchanting of all fairytale bridges in the charming city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Blending old-world allure with medieval mystique, this bridge proudly showcases its Gothic design and the mythical history of the area. Adorned with dragon statues and ornate decorations, this captivating monument is a favorite among visitors who enjoy its playful (or perhaps eerie?) charm.
- Ljubljana Old Town - The scenic center of Ljubljana is shaped by various historical periods, most notably by the renowned architect Jože Plečnik’s works.

Great way to see the city - This was dead easy to book and exactly as described. Some of our group hadn't paddleboarded before, but this was no problem. Barbara made us feel very welcome, and we had a great time.

Fantastic suptocht for Ljubljana - I didn't need a lesson in supping (I sup regularly myself) the 3 English men in my group got super good explanations from Barbara our guide!!! All three were on their boards at the first attempt!!!
Really fantastic to experience the beautiful city of Ljubljana from the water!!! And then not with a violent tourist boat trip!!! Thank you Barbara for the nice morning!!!

Fantastic! Lots of fun even as a beginner. Would recommend everyone do it. - Booking the tour was easy, the SUPing itself was a lot of fun with good instruction and lots of nice tales about Ljubljana along the way.

Great tour of the Ljubljanica - We did a stand up paddle tour of Ljubljana yesterday. The tour started at 10 am with a short briefing and then we could start. Our guide Amila has guided us safely across the river and told interesting information in suitable places. Finally, there was a delicious banana, as well as some photos and videos that she took at our request. We would book the tour again anytime. With the Sup the tour is much nicer and quieter than with the boats.

Fantastic way to see Ljubljana - I have paddled with Bananaway several times now and always been impressed with the knowledge and enthusiasm of their SUP instructors. They tailor the experience to the group and seeing Ljubljana from the river is a unique viewpoint. Lots of fun

Unique Way To Experience the Vibe of the City - We did this on our first day in the city at sunset, and it was a really great way to get to know the city a bit. A very memorable and highly fun experience. Our instructor Barbara was really nice and made sure we all knew what we were doing and made the whole thing a very relaxing experience.

Paddle in the rain that went wonderfully well! - We had booked a Paddle slot with Barbara at 4 and we were lucky enough to be only 4 with her. Despite the weather (rain and risk of thunderstorm), thanks to Barbara, we who had no experience were able to enjoy 2 hours of paddle in a new way. The meeting place is close to where we enter the water. Barbara spoke extremely good English, was able to explain perfectly the ground rules and how to maneuver (this on land before the course began and also once in the water). She was with one of her colleagues and so we were always surrounded by the two women. As soon as I fell (very often on my board), Barbara came to check that everything was okay and was always good advice. Similarly, when I fell into the water, off my board, as I finished the session. Honestly, this course in the rain seems to have been better than if we had done it in the big sun. Lots of laughter and memories! Thanks to her for this experience and the photos we received the next day!

Tour cancelled by tour company - They cancelled on me yesterday because they didn’t have enough people sign up and haven’t given a refund as of yet. They ignore my messages asking for a refund and when I contacted viatour they said they can’t refund until they hear from the tour company. Viator is a disgrace and I will never use them again
