Bled

Overview

We start our tour by dri­ving to charm­ing lake resort of Bled, famous for its medieval cas­tle sit­u­ated on a cliff high above the lake and the amaz­ing sur­round­ing Alpine peaks. Cas­tle ter­races offer spec­tac­u­lar views of the lake and the tiny island in the mid­dle. Later on, we will take a break to taste the deli­cious vanilla cus­tard and cream cake “kremšnita” — one of the most famous Sloven­ian desserts

After enjoy­ing the beau­ti­ful nature we’ll head to Slovenia’s cap­i­tal city, Ljubl­jana. We’ll start the tour in front of the Town Hall and con­tinue through the his­tor­i­cal city cen­ter to admire its mix­ture of Baroque and Art Nou­veau archi­tec­ture and mas­ter­ful cre­ations by the 20^th cen­tury archi­tect Jože Plečnik. The excur­sion includes a stroll around the medieval Old Town, vis­it­ing the New and Old Mar­kets, the Triple Bridge and the Dragon Bridge, Ljubljana’s trade­mark. The tour ends with a funic­u­lar ride, which departs from the Krekov square and takes us up to the Ljubl­jana Cas­tle to enjoy one final view of the city set along the banks of the emer­ald green river Ljubl­jan­ica. Lunch at the tra­di­tional Sloven­ian restau­rant “Gos­tilna na gradu” to taste some of the exquis­ite local meals.
