LJUBLJANA GREEN WALKING TOUR

The Ljubljana Green Walking Tour offers a focused exploration of the city centre from an ecological and sustainability-oriented perspective.

Through a carefully curated urban walk, participants examine how environmental planning, public policy, and community-based initiatives shape Ljubljana’s everyday life and public spaces.

Rather than presenting sustainability as a finished achievement, the tour situates Ljubljana’s “Green Capital” reputation within broader ecological and social contexts.

This walking-based learning programme is ideal for experiential learning focused on green infrastructure, climate adaptation, and ecological urban design.

By combining environmental history, urban geography, and contemporary critique, it highlights both successful practices and unresolved environmental challenges facing Ljubljana and Slovenia today.

• A 2-hour guided walking tour through central Ljubljana focusing on sustainability and ecological urbanism

• Interpretive narratives linking historical and contemporary environmentalism, urban design, and local initiatives
