Ljubljana is dominated by its medieval castle, on a hill in the south of the city. At its base is the Old Town, arranged along three interlinked, cobbled squares: Mestni trg, Stari trg and Gornji trg. Start with a 20-minute walk up the shady path which starts at St Florian's Church in Gornji trg and zig-zags towards the heavily fortified walls of the castle; the funicular railway from Krekov trg will get you there quicker for €1.50. The castle is generously open 9am-11pm daily; admission is free but it costs €5 to climb the 100 steps of the Watchtower. From the top, enjoy a panorama across the red roofs of the city and, on a clear day, as far as the peak of Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest mountain.
