Vega street, UNESCO heritage street in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Vega Street is a green corridor through Ljubljana's center, connecting French Revolution Square with Congress Square and lined with rows of trees. The street features thoughtfully designed elements including distinctive lampposts and seating areas positioned throughout.
This street was created during the 1920s and 1930s as part of architect Jože Plečnik's comprehensive urban redesign of Ljubljana, blending modern planning with local character. Plečnik's vision established new standards for the city's development and left a lasting mark on Slovenia's capital.
The National and University Library shapes this street as a place of knowledge and gathering, where students and visitors meet daily. The street serves as a social hub where people naturally linger, study, and connect with one another.
The street is easily accessible on foot with numerous spots to rest and observe the surroundings. Take your time walking to notice the architectural details and how the space is designed.
The street's name references a historic river that once flowed through Ljubljana before being diverted. This hidden history is visible today only through the street name itself.
