LJUBLJANA FEMINIST WALKING TOUR

The Ljubljana Feminist Walking Tour offers a critical and engaging way to experience the city through feminist and gender-aware perspectives.

Rather than a conventional sightseeing walk, this tour invites you to read Ljubljana’s urban space, architecture, and public memory through the lives and struggles of women — activists, artists, architects, political leaders, and women’s social movements.

This walk is one of the first regular feminist tours in the world, combining historical analysis with contemporary questions of gender, queerness, inequality, and social justice in Slovenian society. 

It was originally designed to meet the needs of a diverse local and international public, including governmental institutions, NGOs, and universities working in the fields of gender equality, urban studies, and social policy.

Over the years, it has evolved into a rather influential feminist urban analysis and expert-led educational programme, fostering discussions on how gender shapes public space, historical narratives, and cultural memory in Slovenia.

• A 2-hour guided walk through Ljubljana’s gendered urban spaces

• Stories of women’s struggles, feminist activism, public memory, and political history
