🇸🇮 Dobrodošli v evropski prestolnici kulture / European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica - Gorizia!
Zgodovinski dan je povezal dve mesti in dve državi. 🇸🇮 🤝 🇮🇹

Uvodna parada z 2000 nastopajočimi se je prelila iz italijanske Gorice v Novo Gorico, kjer je na Trgu Evrope – edinstvenem stičišču dveh držav – potekal uradni del z nagovori. 📜 Glavna govorca uradnega dogodka sta bila predsednica Republike Slovenije Nataša Pirc Musar in predsednik Italijanske republike Sergio Mattarella. 👩👨‍🦳

Umetniški del programa se je odvil na Trgu Edvarda Kardelja. 🎵💃 Rdeča nit programa je bila skladba Insieme Totoja Cutugna, ki nosi močan simbolni pomen. 💙 Enourni šov je ob številnih nastopajočih združil preteklost in prihodnost.

➡️ 186-kilometrska etapa se bo pričela v Trevisu, se nadaljevala po Furlanski nižini vse do Krmina, nato bodo kolesarji prečkali državno mejo v Plešivem, se po Brdih zapeljali skozi Medano, Dobrovo, Šmartno, Kojsko in Hum, nato se bodo za kratek čas vrnili v Italijo in preko Števerjana nazaj v Novo Gorico, kjer bo zagotovo vrhunec evforije! 🎉

Ponosni smo, da se po letu 2021 Giro vrača v Novo Gorico. Gostovanje tako pomembnega športnega dogodka bo dodatno poudarilo kulturni in turistični pomen mesta ter turistične destinacije ter pripomoglo k prepoznavnosti.

🇸🇮 Ne samo v Ljubljani – tudi v Solkanu imamo svojevrstno tromostovje. 🙂 🌉 Vsak izmed mostov, ki se boči čez smaragdno Sočo, ponuja svojevrstno doživetje:
▪️ na cestnem mostu lahko s TOP Extreme Bungee Jumping sprostite svoj adrenalin 🤸
▪️ čez znameniti Solkanski most se zapeljite z vlakom po zgodovinski Bohinjski progi 🚈
▪️ brv, po kateri se lahko sprehodite ali zapeljete s kolesom, pa je kot nalašč za ležerno pohajkovanje 🚲
V neposredni bližini se nahaja tudi adrenalinski Soča Fun Park, ki omogoča zipline čez Sočo ter zabavo na različnih poligonih. Prav posebno perspektivo pa boste doživeli, če se s kajakom ali raftom previdno (!) spustite po soških zelenomodrih valovih. 🚣

Ni več izgovora, da ne bi preživeli nekaj prijetnih uric ob reki. 😉
________________________

🇬🇧 Not only in Ljubljana – in Solkan we also have a unique triple bridge. 🙂 🌉 Each of the bridges spanning the emerald Soča offers a unique experience:
▪️ the road bridge is the perfect place to unleash your adrenaline with TOP Extreme Bungee Jumping 🤸
▪️ take a train ride across the famous Solkan bridge along the historic Bohinj railway 🚈
▪️ the footbridge is the perfect place for a leisurely stroll or a bike ride 🚲
The adrenaline-filled Soča Fun Park, which offers a zipline across the Soča River, and fun on various polygons, is located nearby. For a special perspective, take a careful (!) kayak or raft ride on the green-blue waves of the river Soča. 🚣

There's no more excuse to not spend some quality time by the river. 😉

🇸🇮 Nekaj pozornosti s strani slavnega BBC Travel ne škodi. 😉 Novinar Charney je -kljub nekaj faktografskim napakam- zajel lepoto čezmejnosti letošnje evropske prestolnice kulture Nove Gorice in italijanske Gorice.

🇬🇧 Although the writer Charney made some factural errors, some recognition from the BBC Travel never killed nobody. 😉 His article captures the beauty of the cross-border nature of this year's European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica - Gorizia.

In 1947, Gorizia was abruptly split between Italy and Slovenia. In 2025, the two towns will reunite as the first transnational European Capital of Culture: https://bbc.in/4fJb8LJ
