Official visitor centre by the Triple Bridge selling the Ljubljana Card, maps and locally made souvenirs.
The Ljubljana Tourist Information Centre (TIC) shop is the official visitor centre and souvenir outlet at Stritarjeva ulica 1, beside the Triple Bridge and Prešernov trg in the centre of Ljubljana, Slovenia. It is run in connection with the city's tourism organisation, whose information is published at visitljubljana.com, and combines visitor services with a curated shop. The goods differ from generic souvenir stores because the range is selected around Ljubljana and Slovenia: the Ljubljana Card, city maps and guidebooks, postcards, locally made design gifts, honey and bee products, Slovenian food and drink, ceramics, textiles, jewellery and items featuring the city's dragon symbol. Many products come from Slovenian producers and designers, so the ratio of authentic local goods to generic imported trinkets is higher than in typical tourist shops, though some mass-market souvenirs are included. Prices are fixed and clearly marked, typically from EUR 3 for postcards and small gifts to about EUR 60 for design pieces or gift sets, and bargaining is not practised. Cards are accepted at the counter along with euro cash. Slovenia charges 22 percent VAT, and visitors from outside the European Union can ask the staff whether tax-free forms are available for larger purchases. The shop is open daily, typically from 08:00 to 21:00 in summer, with shorter hours in the low season, so visitors should check opening times for their travel dates. The atmosphere is busy and international, with visitors collecting maps, buying tickets or the city card and asking for advice. The Ljubljana Card bundles public transport, the castle funicular, a river cruise and entry to several attractions, and many travellers buy it here. There is no restaurant on site, but the Triple Bridge area has cafes, ice cream stands and restaurants within a minute's walk, and the Central Market is a short stroll along the river. The location suits visitors starting a city visit who want information, a gift and a card in a single stop.
