Tivoli is an important part of garden heritage. It is a 19. century park which was also refined by Jože Plečnik. Tivoli is protected nature. It is a part of landscape park Tivoli-Rožnik – Šišenski hrib which 22
is Ljubljana’s most important urban forest, very valuable recreational space and literally nature in the city, which, through Tivoli park reaches almost into the city center. And is a home to many interesting animals. (sometimes we even get the feeling that the Nature service is forgetting that park is primarily a human habitat). Tivoli is getting more and more important event space. It hosts a number of sports events, temporary exhibitions that permanently occupy the space, concerts etc. All the qualities of Tivoli are making it attractive for all the different uses, together with some cultural institutions that are positioned in Tivoli it is becoming an important tourist attraction.
