Hotels near Tivoli Park

Tivoli Park covers 510 hectares immediately west of Slovenska Cesta - the largest park in Ljubljana and a 5-minute walk from Prešeren Square. Designed in 1813 and redesigned in the 1930s by Jože Plécnik, Tivoli combines formal gardens, woodland, sculpture, and 3 museums. The central Jakopič Promenade is lined with rotating outdoor photography exhibitions year-round.

The park houses the National Museum of Contemporary History, the Slovenian National Gallery (in the adjacent building), and a small zoo. Tivoli Castle in the centre is now an art gallery. Joggers, dog walkers, and locals on lunch breaks fill the park year-round. Free to enter and open 24 hours. The southern slope rises gently to Rožnik Hill (391 m) with a small chapel and views back to the city.

Pro Tip: Climb the wooden staircase up to Rožnik Hill (15 minutes from the park entrance) for a free view back over Ljubljana with the castle in the centre. The cafe at the top serves local Lasko beer and štrukli dumplings.
