Meet the dragon

Dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana and you must not miss taking a photo next to one of them at the Dragon Bridge. That way your folks will know you have visited Ljubljana. Our own dragon (pictured above) will also be around somewhere to greet you and wish you welcome.

• Sunday, 8 October from 16:00 to 18:00, fan zone at the Stožice Stadium.

The easiest way to get to Stožice stadium?

1. purchase the Urbana public transport card
2. take the bus no. 13 or 20 at Bavarski dvor in the direction Stožice (exit at the final stop in both cases)

Here you can check the stadium scheme and other useful information provided by the Football Association of Slovenia.
