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.
