About Tivoli City Park

Tivoli Park is the biggest and most beautiful park of the capital city of Slovenia. Covering an area of about 5 SqKm, Tivoli Park is Ljubljana's largest green space and a cooling place to escape the heat. Chestnut trees line the avenues of the 19th-century gardens, which include an open-air art gallery, a café and a lake. Beside the pond is a small botanical garden with a glasshouse housing a permanent exhibition of tropical and carnivorous plants. Jakopič Promenade leading towards Tivoli Mansion has become a well known outdoor exhibition venue for large photographs. Set amidst rolling hills, Tivoli Park is a pleasant mixture of lawns, pastures, wooded areas and fun adventure playgrounds for the kids. Tivoli Park also houses a number of cultural sights including the International Centre of Graphic Arts in the glorious 17th century Tivolski Grad (Tivoli Mansion), the Museum of Modern History and, in the park’s far south-western reaches, in an area designated as a nature reserve, the city’s half-decent zoo. Also look out for the monument to Primož Trubar at the entrance to the park. Trubar was an early force in Slovene literature and the creation of a Slovene national identity. Just two streets west of the city centre, is so packed with good things to see and do that it’s almost worth visiting the Slovene capital just to come here.

Must See

  • There are a number of playgrounds for for children to enjoy in the park. The biggest one is located on the left side of the park beside the pond and the cafe called Colnarna that also offers an indoor play area for kids. While the children run around the meadow and have fun, adults can light-heartedly take their time and indulge in a cup of coffee or a sandwich, knowing their little devils are doing just fine.
  • There`s a glasshouse with tropical plants on display right beside the cafe and a rose garden around it. Go and find the rose named after the beautiful city (Hint: it is of cream and white colour).
  • From the heart of Park Tivoli, one can easily take one of the numerous paths leading to the Roznik hilltop. A nice and not steep 30-minute walk is rewarded with a church, a small children`s playground and an old inn at the top where you can take a break and pamper yourself with some delicious Slovenian pastry or other goodies.
  • Another bigger children`s playground is right beside the sports facilities (Tivoli swimming pool) and Tivoli car park. There is one mini golf area with a cafe there, areas for roller skating, tennis, basketball and more.
  • Lumpi Children`s Park is located right beside the biggest sports hall. In winter it offers open-air ice skating and in summer water fun with inflatable bouncers and other fun stuff. At the end of the Tivoli Park area, by the main road, near Lepa Zoga sports pub you can also find a small bike park.
  • If these things don’t impress, use the lawn to enjoy a nice peaceful picnic with family
