Jakopič Promenade, named after Rihard Jakopič, one of Slovenia’s greatest Impressionist painters, has run through Tivoli Park since the 1930s as part of Plečnik’s plans for the city. It leads towards Tivoli Mansion and doubles as an open-air gallery for exhibitions. Our advice: walk it to the mansion and the International Centre of Graphic Arts.
