Refreshment at the Drinking Fountains

In the hot summer days it is nice to refresh oneself with quality drinking water from the Ljubljana’s fountains distributed all over the centre and other parts of the city.

Some of the drinking fountains are located in the city centre, where you cannot miss them because they follow one another from the Pogačar Square to the Upper Square. The citizens of Ljubljana are also very pleased with drinking fountains at popular recreational surfaces, amongst others the Ljubljana Castle, Golovec, the Koseze Pond, Mostec, Rožnik (where even dogs can quench their thirst after an exhausting ascend), and from this year on you can refresh yourself during a walk on the Path of Memories and Comradeship. Since mid-May three drinking fountains are in operation there and five additional fountains are being set up.

Parents and children are happy to have refreshment at the playgrounds in Tivoli Park and in the northern city park Navje. Soon you will be able to refresh yourself at two new drinking fountains on the renovated Slovenska Street.

The exact locations of the drinking fountains can be found on the VO-KA site or you can locate the closest fountain using the mobile application Tap Water Ljubljana.

Drinking fountains are set up at locations with the highest number of visitors on daily basis where access to drinking water is most welcome; there you have an opportunity to refresh yourself and quench your thirst in a healthy way while running your errands in the city, during sports activities or just as you are relaxing in nature, and they are set up to be as near as possible to the public water supply network so the water from the network can reach the fountains in the shortest possible time.

Ljubljana’s drinking fountains are not only an urban decoration for the city, they are also a reminder that in Ljubljana we are drinking good water, and public access to quality drinking water carries a symbolic message as well – water is a natural asset which has to be accessible to all! So let the refreshing natural drinking water inspire you with respect for our environment!
