Špica Park and Botanic garden
Just a few minutes e-ride away from the old town is the Špica park (which means ”point” in English) where the river Ljubljanica splits into two parts. In the past, Špica used to be a beach in Ljubljana. Today it is a nice place to enjoy the sun, have coffee with friends and relax.
Next to the Špica park – on the other side of the river – is the botanic garden, connected by Hladnik’s Footbridge. The botanic garden was established back in 1810 and contains more than 4,500 species and subspecies from Slovenia and other European countries as well as from the rest of the world. In the tropical glasshouse in the botanic garden it is also possible to see plants that can be found in a typical rainforest.
