Bus Hire in Ljubljana, Slovenia

Four dragons guard the bridge that gives Ljubljana its enduring symbol, cast in copper at the start of the 20th century and now reproduced on everything from manhole covers to the city's coat of arms. The legend behind them, tied to the myth of Jason and the Argonauts supposedly founding the city, is almost certainly invented well after the fact, but it stuck regardless.

One architect, Joze Plecnik, did more than almost anyone to shape how Ljubljana actually looks today. Working through the 1920s and 30s, he redesigned the riverside embankments, added the striking Triple Bridge beside the older stone crossing, and gave the National and University Library a facade unlike anything else in the city. Ljubljana Castle watches over all of it from a hill above the old town, reachable by funicular for groups who would rather not climb.
