Tour Overview
Nestling in the foothills of the Julian Alps, Lake Bled is an enchanting scene from a childhood fairy tale. With its little white church surrounded by crystal-clear glacial waters and emerald-green forests that underline the distant mountains, it’s a place you will never forget. We take some time to explore the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana, before venturing into the heart of Slovenia’s only national park, passing through the spectacular Soca river valley to reach the shores of Lake Predil. With other highlights including Portorož and the magnificent Postojna Caves, let us introduce you to the secrets of the Balkans.

Day 3 : Free Time

Enjoy a day at leisure in the peaceful and beautiful resort of Lake Bled. A walk around the lake is highly recommended; at 6 kilometres it can take a couple of hours, but there’s no rush with plenty of places to stop and take in the scenery, or even take a dip in the emerald water. For a small fee, you can also take a traditional wooden pletna boat to visit the Church of Maria, which rises from a tiny islet in the middle of the lake, or why not hire your own rowing boat for a more personal experience?
Day 4 : Ljubljana
Location: Ljubljana
Accommodation: Hotel
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Today, we include a full-day excursion by coach to Ljubljana. With its hilltop castle and riverside location, Ljubljana is a wonderful place to visit. Its compact size makes it easy to explore and there are treasures at every turn, including Dragon Bridge, the Franciscan church, the triple bridge, and the funicular railway leading to the castle. Be sure to witness every highlight that this beautiful city has to offer by taking advantage of our included city tour.
Day 5 : Julian Alps

Today, we venture into the Julian Alps on our included coach excursion. The route takes us into the heart of the mountains of Slovenia’s only national park, Triglav, crossing the highest mountain pass of Vršič and passing through the beautiful Soča river valley. We make a stop at the small town of Bovec, which is surrounded by magnificent scenery, before coasting down the Predil mountain pass and crossing the border into Italy, where we spend some time on the shore of the small but spectacular Lake Predil.
Day 6 : Lake Bled To Postojna Cave To Portorož
Location: Portorož, Lake Bled, Postojna Cave
Accommodation: Hotel

We leave our lakeside paradise and take a scenic journey by coach to the Slovenian coastal resort of Portorož. During our journey we visit the Karst cave at Postojna, which is one of the largest in the world with more than five kilometres of breathtaking underground halls and natural tunnels that can be explored on foot – the stalagmite and stalactite formations here are unequalled anywhere.
We continue to our hotel in Portorož, our base for the next three nights.

Relax and enjoy a full day in resort.

If you would like to explore further, just a short distance away you will find picturesque Piran, sitting pretty at the tip of a narrow peninsula. Its Old Town – one of the best-preserved historical towns anywhere on the Adriatic – is a gem of Venetian Gothic architecture.
