In the heart of the city, you will embark on a tourist boat that will take you along the Ljubljanica, whose interesting bridges and picturesque embankments give Ljubljana its distinctive appearance. The boat, which will afford you completely new views of the city, will sail past well-maintained embankments lined with medieval buildings with uneven roofs and pleasant riverside walks, taking you all the way to the Špica embankment, once the site of the city beach. Špica, whose name, translating as 'Pointed End', refers to the embankment's pointed shape, still somewhat resembles a beach due to its pleasant grassed and wooden surfaces where numerous locals and visitors bask in the sun on fine days. Ljubljana will reveal itself to you as a relaxed city with a vibrant life and an amazing mixture of city and nature.
