Next, we'll descend into the horseshoe-shaped Trenta Valley and drive along the shores of the emerald-green Soča River.

Slovenia's capital Ljubljana is our destination today, and its compact size makes it easy to explore on foot. With a Local Guide, we'll discover the city that was crowned the Green Capital of Europe in 2016, starting in the Old Town. Narrow cobbled streets, a castle-topped hill and the Ljubljana River running through its heart, make this a lovely place for a stroll. We'll also see the elegant Town Hall with its Venetian architectural influences, St Nikolai Cathedral and the bustling public market, which runs along the river.

Next, we head to Lake Bled, an expanse of blue-green water in which sits Slovenia's only island. We'll head to the island on a traditional wooden Pletna boat, and we'll visit the 12th century Bled Castle, which towers over the lake, offering further amazing views.
