Špica Park
About

Špica Park is a tranquil riverside retreat just a ten-minute walk from Ljubljana’s Old Town, where urban life gives way to greenery and relaxation. Its name, meaning “pointed tip,” refers to the shape of the embankment at the confluence of the Ljubljanica River. Once a popular town beach, Špica has been transformed into a landscaped park with wooden terraces, grassy lawns, and shaded seating areas that invite sunbathing, picnicking, and leisurely strolls. A highlight is Hladnik’s Footbridge, a sleek pedestrian and cycling bridge built in 2009 that connects the park to the University Botanic Gardens. The park’s riverside café offers refreshments with scenic views, making it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re looking to unwind after sightseeing or enjoy a peaceful moment by the water, Špica Park offers a refreshing blend of nature, design, and community spirit.
