About Ljubljanica River Trip

The wooden boat called 'Ljubljanica', which departs from the pier on the Breg embankment, offers not only ordinary tourist boat rides, but also river cruises for private parties, complete with on-board catering and entertainment. With the beautiful Ljubljanica river flowing through the centre of the city, there’s surely no better way to experience all the wondrous sights than to float along with it and the handmade wooden boat operated by the young team at Laker Craft is easily the most attractive of all the crafts plying the waters of the Ljubljanica. Even for those who live here, it's like viewing the city for the first time, drawing ones attention to details that are invisible from solid ground. A standard ride lasts just under an hour, and offers views of most of the old town's major sights from a unique vantage point, and private trips can also be arranged, offering a unique way to impress business clients or have an unforgettable romantic evening.
