ACTIVITIES
Ljubljana is the political and cultural heart of the Slovenian nation. It is an important European commercial, business, exhibition and congressional center as well as the transport, science and education center of Slovenia.
As its inhabitants and numerous visitors will tell you, Ljubljana is, indeed, a people-friendly city. Categorized as a medium-sized European city, it offers everything a metropolis does yet preserves its small-town friendliness.
Its geographical position in the center of Europe has determined Ljubljana as a natural meeting place for merchants and soldiers as well as - and more than once - peacemakers. The victors of the Napoleonic wars selected this peaceful city as the site of the Holy Alliance congress, which in 1821 sealed the European political geography for years to come.
The Ljubljana dragon is part of the City of Ljubljana's coat of arms. It symbolizes strength, courage and might. It is depicted on the Dragon Bridge and on top of the castle tower on Ljubljana's coat of arms.
The Ljubljana dragon may have its origins in the legend of Jason and the Argonauts.
