Our last full day:(
Time to cram in as much sightseeing, eating, drinking and shopping as possible...
Evangelical Church (1850-1851) - architect Gustav Lahn.
Beautiful sculpture.
Love this sign outside one of the pubs.
The Central Post Office.
The Ljubljana Castle
For more than 5 centuries, the Ljubljana Castle, the crown above the city and the most visited tourist attraction, has marked the panorama of the Slovenian capital.

dating back over a century. This museum was opened at the end of May 2015 and provides visitors with a chance to try their hand at puppetry skills in the Castle Theatre.

Definitely my absolutely favorite fountain - The Robba Fountain (the Fountain of Three Carniolan rivers), depicts the 3 river gods of the Ljubljanica, Sava and Krka Rivers. The fountain was created between 1743-1751 by the Venetian-born sculptor and architect Francesco Robba (1698-1757).
And there's always music...
And views of the city from the skyscraper (Neboticnik)...
And a sumptuous lunch at the Pivnica Brewery!
