What people say

Nally Preseault
"Let's be honest. You chose Slovenia as your next destination because of Bled. Lake Bled, specifically. Those pictures--the glacial lake and its turquoise water with Bled Island and its church in the center, Bled Castle looking down from its cliffside perch, and the Julian Alps in the background--just captivated you. You finally get to see this magical spot in person. Bled was first settled in the Middle Stone Age. Yes, there's a lot of history here. The Slavs, the Franks, the Bavarians, the Germans, and the Austrians all claimed this area at one point. Tito, the revolutionary who ruled Yugoslavia, even built his summer residence here in the 1940s. Tourism now dominates Bled. Visitors come for the gorgeous scenery, the mild climate, and water sports. Pletnas (wooden boats with colorful awnings) glide across the calm water. While forests, gorges, and mountains for climbing, hiking, and skiing are just a short ride away. This is Slovenia's favorite playground."

Emerald rivers. Glacial lakes. Hidden karsts. Historic cities. Snow-capped peaks. Sun-drenched beaches. Undiscovered wine regions. Untouched forests. You don't have to traipse all over Europe. The little country of Slovenia features everything you love about the continent in one place. So it's even been nicknamed Little Europe. Start in the Dragon City. Ljubljana survived Roman, Habsburg, and Yugoslavian rule to become one of the greenest capitals in Europe. Then start exploring hidden caves, medieval towns, scenic drives, and a tiny sliver of coastline. There are adventure sports, award-winning restaurants, grand castles, and stunning views along the way. You'll quickly wonder why it's taken you so long to get here. The Slovenia Guide works as a great circular road trip through Western Slovenia. Start in Ljubljana, drive north toward the Austrian border, head west toward the Italian border, circle through wine country, and end up back in the capital.
