Lake Bled & the Coast and Mountains of Slovenia

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.

Itinerary

We journey from London St. Pancras International to Paris by Eurostar and continue by train to southern Germany, where we check in to our overnight hotel.

We continue our rail journey, which follows a stunning route through the Austrian Alps and across the border into Slovenia. We are transferred by coach to our hotel on Lake Bled for a four-night stay.

Includes Breakfast

Includes Dinner

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?

Includes Breakfast

Includes 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.
