Ljubljana

Ljubljana is a cyclist's idea of a city. Cycling as a mode of transport is increasingly popular, and the city is constantly expanding its network of bike paths as part of its sustainability efforts. Overall, Ljubljana has more than 230 km of dedicated bike paths. The city is mostly flat and the right size for commuting by bike. You can use bicycles in the downtown pedestrian zone, but you must pay attention to your speed and yield to pedestrians. Themed bike paths, were identified by conspicuous blue lines. A circuit tour takes you from Fužine Castle, along the embankment on the Ljubljanica river, through the old town, and onto Špica Park. Plenik's Ljubljana connects elements of the famous architect's heritage around the city and ends at his former home in Trnovo.

Bicycles outside restaurants and cafes are a common sight in Ljubljana. Like many green cities in Europe, the Slovenian capital has introduced a number of eco-friendly transport policies in the vision of sustainable city development. These measures include redesigning intersections, placing traffic lights specifically for cyclists, and expanding low-speed areas on the roadway. Most of all, Ljubljana stands out among other European cities for its gender balance among cyclists.
