Tivoli Park
About

Tivoli Park is Ljubljana’s largest and most beloved green space, stretching from the city center to the wooded slopes of Rožnik Hill. Designed in 1813 by French engineer Jean Blanchard, the park blends formal gardens, tree-lined promenades, and natural landscapes into a peaceful urban retreat. Highlights include the Jakopič Promenade, a grand walkway often used for outdoor photo exhibitions, and the 17th-century Tivoli Mansion, home to the International Centre of Graphic Arts. Visitors can explore rose gardens, ornamental fountains, and a small pond with a tropical greenhouse, or enjoy family-friendly features like playgrounds and a mini-golf course. The park is also a favorite for joggers, cyclists, and picnickers, with well-maintained paths and rental bikes available. Architect Jože Plečnik left a lasting mark on the park’s design, adding his signature lampposts and benches. Whether for a quiet stroll, cultural exploration, or outdoor fun, Tivoli Park offers a refreshing escape in the heart of Ljubljana.
