The capital of Slovenia is Ljubljana, a charming and eco-friendly city known for its pedestrian-friendly center, riverside cafés, and cycling culture.

It was named Europe’s Green Capital in 2016, and its famous dragon symbol seen on the Dragon Bridge comes from a local legend about a dragon defeated by the hero Jason.

Jason is a hero from Greek mythology best known for leading the Argonauts on a quest to find the Golden Fleece, a magical symbol of kingship and power. He traveled on the ship Argo with famous companions like Hercules and Orpheus, facing dangerous creatures and challenges along the way. In some legends connected to Ljubljana, Jason is said to have defeated a dragon near the area, which is why the dragon became the city’s symbol.

The good thing about Trafalgar tours is that they spend time teaching you about the local customs and language of the country you’re visiting.

On the long bus journeys they play you songs of the regions you’re passing by as well as folklore.
