Kandija is a charming historic suburb on the opposite bank of the Krka River from Novo Mesto's old town. Its narrow streets are lined with traditional houses, and the centerpiece is the Kandija Bridge, a stone arch bridge dating from the 19th century. Visitors can cross the bridge for a different perspective of the old town, explore the quiet residential lanes, and see the Church of St. John the Baptist. The area offers a glimpse into the city's past beyond the main tourist route.
