Prešeren Square is the central square of Ljubljana, part of the old town's pedestrian zone at the head of the Triple Bridge. It is named after the poet France Prešeren, whose 1905 monument stands on it, and is lined by the pink Franciscan Church and Secession-era buildings; Edvard Ravnikar gave it its circular paving in 1987–88.

Ljubljana Town Hall on Town Square is the seat of the City Municipality of Ljubljana. First built in Gothic style in 1484, it was rebuilt in Baroque style in 1717–1719 by Gregor Maček after plans by Carlo Martinuzzi, gaining its gabled front, loggia and staircase. A replica of Francesco Robba's fountain stands outside.

Nebotičnik is a 13-storey, 70 m high-rise in the centre of Ljubljana, designed by Vladimir Šubic and opened in 1933, when it was the tallest building in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Shops and offices fill the lower floors and flats the middle ones, while a café with a terrace on the 12th floor looks out over the old town and the castle.

Dragon Bridge is a reinforced concrete road bridge over the Ljubljanica river in Ljubljana, opened in 1901 and built on Josef Melan's system to a Vienna Secession design by Jurij Zaninović. Four sheet-copper dragons stand on pedestals at its corners and sixteen smaller ones decorate it; the bridge is protected as a technical monument.

Tivoli Park is the largest park in Ljubljana, stretching west of the city centre to the wooded slopes of Rožnik Hill and protected since 1984 as part of a nature park. Paths lead past Tivoli Mansion, Cekin Mansion with the Museum of Contemporary History of Slovenia, a pond, a rose garden and a greenhouse of the botanical garden.
