Street art in Ljubljana

Where to find street art in Ljubljana (Slovenia)

Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital, is a human-scaled city renowned for its baroque architecture, medieval castle, and independent cultural scene. At the city's heart, the autonomous Metelkova centre has been the epicentre of Slovenian street art and alternative art since 1993, occupying the buildings of a former Austro-Hungarian barracks listed as a national cultural heritage site in 2005.

The Ljubljana Street Art Festival, founded in 1993, is one of the oldest street art festivals in Europe. It has helped make the city a hub for local and international artists, fostering cross-disciplinary collaborations that blend graffiti, typography, mural painting, and participatory interventions.

Beyond Metelkova, the Šiška district and the banks of the Ljubljanica regularly host new murals. The municipality actively supports public space creation, placing Ljubljana among Central Europe's most committed cities in promoting urban art.
