Plečnik’s visions win 1st place in the Tourism category
In cooperation with the City Museum of Ljubljana and the France Stele Institute of Art History ZRC SAZU, Ljubljana Tourism designed a gamified guide through the unrealised projects of the great architect Jože Plečnik. The projects, had they been completed, would have had a profound impact on the present-day look of Ljubljana. With the help of augmented reality, the application reveals four great unrealised works by Plečnik for Ljubljana: the Butcher’s Bridge, the New Magistrate, the Magistrate’s Entrance to the castle and the Cathedral of Freedom.
At Ljubljana Tourism, they believe that new technologies can attract new audiences. Thus, the app appeals to younger generations. Statistics, nonetheless, confirm that this type of interactive guidance is also interesting for older generations.
Award-winning online souvenir shop
During the coronavirus pandemic, Ljubljana Tourism wanted to bring its products closer to domestic and foreign audiences, which is why an online souvenir shop was set up. Thus, all users who did not have the opportunity to visit Ljubljana could purchase a piece of Ljubljana. In recent years, Ljubljana Tourism has developed recognisable, high-quality and valuable collections of souvenirs, which contribute to shaping the image of an attractive and modern city with a lively touristic pulse.
