Tromostovje (Triple Bridge), Ljubljana (must see)
As a testament to Jo啪e Ple膷nik's creativity, the Triple Bridge complex stands out as the star attraction of Ljubljana. Ple膷nik ingeniously added pedestrian bridges on each side of the existing Franz Bridge, but with a twist 鈥� they don't run parallel; instead, they angle sharply to it. This unique configuration gives the Triple Bridge its distinctive character, making it the most photographed and iconic symbol of the city. Last spruced up in 1992, it serves as the perfect meeting spot between Pre拧eren Square and the surrounding pedestrian streets.
The original Franz Bridge has been a fixture since 1842, replacing a vital medieval wooden crossing linking north-western Europe to south-eastern Europe and the Balkans. Ple膷nik's redesign involved removing the metal railings from the old structure and replacing them with hefty stone balustrades and lamps. Each side bridge features stairways leading to terraces above the Ljubljanica River, where poplar trees enhance the overall aesthetic. With their Venetian-inspired design, the stairways infuse a touch of Mediterranean charm into the scene.
Linking the historic city with the modern, these three bridges offer splendid river views and are surrounded by numerous bars, restaurants, and cafes. Plus, there are free restrooms tucked underneath, a handy tip for visitors.
