Feminist, Communist, Ecological, Graffiti, and Music Tours in Ljubljana

PTICH offers guided feminist, post-socialist, literary, environmental, graffiti, punk music, and other alternative walking and bike tours in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The tours explore the city through critical cultural perspectives, focusing on urban space, political history, alternative cultures, and everyday life.

Each walk and bike ride is designed as an attentive encounter that connects place, ideology, and lived experience.

PTICH tours are therefore ideal for institutional travel programmes, study visits, professional training, and academic fieldwork.

Critical and Alternative Walking and Bike Tours of Ljubljana

Through our tours, participants engage critically with Ljubljana as a political, cultural, and social space, not merely as a postcard destination.

The emphasis moves beyond sightseeing to examine alternative cultures, feminist histories, communist legacies, environmental issues, graffiti and street art, and the role of literature and music in shaping urban life.

An Interpretative and Research-Based Approach

PTICH tours are based on research, cultural analysis, and close readings of urban space.

They are designed for visitors interested in interpretative and critical perspectives rather than conventional, descriptive narratives.

Learn more about our approach at the About Ptich page.

Guided by Local Researchers and Cultural Insiders

PTICH tours are guided by local cultural experts and interpreters working at the intersection of history, sociology, and urban studies.

Learn more about our guides through the About Us page.

Tour Format, Languages, and Participants

All tours take place in Ljubljana, last between two and three hours, and are available in English and Slovenian.

They are designed for individuals and small groups seeking a slower, more reflective way of engaging with the city.

PTICH tours are booked by international travellers and are also frequently commissioned for study visits, cultural exchanges, professional delegations, and EU-funded programmes.

Southern Bitches Go Home! or How We Survived Independence and Even Laughed

If Goran Vojnović were a Serbian-Slovenian-Prekmurian feminist, I joked the first time I read this novel, it still wouldn’t have helped him. Because Ćrtice by Tina Perić, our former co-guide on the Ljubljana Feminist Tour, is such an astonishingly good book that it hurts. It is not “the next Southern Scum Go Home!”; it is...
