Hotels near Triple Bridge (Tromostovje)

Designed by Slovenian architect Jože Plécnik in 1929, the Triple Bridge consists of the original 1842 stone bridge flanked by two pedestrian-only side bridges added by Plécnik to create one of Europe's most original urban crossings. The architect's signature white-stone balustrades and oversized lamps frame the bridge linking Prešeren Square to the Old Town. The central span carries vehicle traffic; pedestrians use the side bridges.

Prešeren Square at the northern end is the city's social heart, dominated by the pink Franciscan Church (1660), Prešeren's statue, and constant street musicians. The southern end opens onto Stritarjeva Street and the Old Town's Mestni trg. The bridge is fully pedestrianised since 2007 and best photographed from the river embankments. Free to cross at any time.

Pro Tip: Walk down the steps from the eastern side bridge to the Ljubljanica river embankment for the best photo angle - the Triple Bridge plus the Franciscan Church plus the castle all line up in one frame from there.
