Radovljica is known, above all, as the centre of Slovenian beekeeping, whilst it is also becoming increasingly recognised for its exceptional chocolate festival. The heart and soul of Radovljica is Linhart Square which inspires with the variety and authenticity of its preserved architecture. It boasts preserved houses from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, a magnificent manor and numerous museums, galleries and local restaurants.
Here are a couple of must-see point in the old town:
- The Museum of Apiculture is the central museum of beekeeping in Slovenia
- The Lectar Honeybread Workshop and Museum
- Radovljica Manor
- St. Peter’s Church, the rectory building and defence walls
- The former medieval defence trench at the entrance to the old town
- Šivec House Art Gallery
-
The viewpoint at the end of the square offers astonishing views of the Sava river valley and the Julian Alps
- Pharmacy and Alchemy Museum
