Visit Ljubljana
Ljubljana, Slovenia. A green jewel in the heart of Europe.
In 2007, Ljubljana closed 17 hectares of city centre to cars then remodelled their public transport to include FREE chauffeured-driven electric cabs, ‘Kavalir’, a €3 PER YEAR bike sharing scheme, 32 CNG buses, 5 new park & ride sites, 220km dedicated cycle routes, an electric tourist train & a 620% increase in dedicated pedestrian surfaces.
Black carbon emissions reduced by 70% and PM 2.5 levels by 58%.
Now residents and visitors walk or cycle through the beautiful open streets where you can discover the delights of multiple World Heritage Sites, thriving commerce and a vibrant cultural and social calendar that has put Ljubljana on the map as one of the top European destinations.
Despite initial opposition fearing a loss of trade and difficulty accessing homes, implementing a clean transport infrastructure enabled sustainable economic and social growth making Ljubljana one of the greenest, most sustainable cities in Europe. This is a scalable model, creating wider accessibility, better affordability, enhanced safety and greater environmental resilience, successfully reflected in a 92% resident satisfaction*.
