Nebotičnik
An Art Deco 'skyscraper' completed in 1933, its rooftop café terrace overlooks the Old Town and the castle.
Nebotičnik means 'skyscraper.' When it was completed in 1933, it stood about 70 metres tall with 13 storeys, making it one of the tallest residential buildings in Europe. Its exterior is Art Deco, and its wooden spiral staircase inside is also famous. The top floor has a café and an open-air viewing terrace with 360-degree views of the Old Town's red rooftops, Ljubljana Castle, and the distant Kamnik Alps. You only need to buy a coffee to go up. From here you get a better shot of the castle itself than you would from the castle. It stands at the junction of Slovenska Street and Štefanova Street, about five minutes' walk from Prešeren Square.
