The river of Ljubljana, which is named Ljubljanica runs all over through the capital city but it seem likely to be an inland waterway as it flows through the city. On That Point are dozens of road bridges and pedestrian paths on both sides of Ljubljanica. Three bridges, Triple Bridge ( a tri-zig-zagged path bridge), Dragon Bridge (ornamented with well-carved green dragons and it is trusted among local folk that these dragons will wag their tail whenever a virgins pass by the bridge), and Shoemakers Bridge ( well known of the place where shoemakers worked during the medieval times) are the grandest for the ones who are most probably to use these bridges to cross in or out of the city. The river has a color of astonishing turquoise-green which looks very gorgeous when the light of the city is bright especially at dark. For one who prefers to have romantic atmosphere, they can rent a Venetian appears gondola to sail around the city.
