Why Go

The open-air market sells fruit, vegetables, cheese and flowers every day except Sunday, and Plečnik's two-story colonnade along the river holds fishmongers and food shops.

On Fridays from spring to autumn, the Open Kitchen fills the square with cooks from across Slovenia. Four copper dragons, the city's symbol, guard the Dragon Bridge of 1901.
