Ljubljana is a city where you\u2019ll never run out of ideas for outdoor recreation. Breathe in the fresh air deep in the lush forests, step into the vibrant world of flora in the Botanical Garden, explore the many paths in Tivoli Park, and show off your skills with a ball or racket on a court of your choice. Unwind by the pool or swap screen time for green time and escape the daily grind with a round of golf in the embrace of nature. Hike or cycle to the top of a hill. Get right into the heart of the city on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or in a row boat, and admire cultural landmarks from a completely different perspective on the Ljubljanica River. For more adventure, ride the rapids of the Sava River, visit an adventure park, or take on serious Alpine climbing challenges in the green hinterland of Slovenia\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
