Activity description

Enjoy a day trip from Zagreb to explore two of Slovenia's most enchanting destinations: Ljubljana and Lake Bled. This small-group excursion offers a journey through picturesque landscapes, guided tours of historic landmarks, and ample free time to immerse yourself in the beauty of these Slovenian treasures.

Set off from the capital of Zagreb and venture into the countryside of Croatia and Slovenia. As you leave behind the city, soak in the scenery that unfolds along the route, promising a day filled with natural beauty and cultural exploration. Your licensed driver-guide will be on hand to provide insights into the day's itinerary, share facts about the sites you will visit, and offer a glimpse into the rich history of both Croatia and Slovenia.

Upon arriving in Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital city, embark on a walking tour through its historic center. Discover architectural wonders, meander through cobblestone streets, and ascend to the 13th-century Ljubljana Castle via a funicular. From the castle's vantage point, soak in panoramic views of the city skyline and the majestic Alps in the distance. After a guided tour, enjoy leisure time to explore Ljubljana at your own pace, further immersing yourself in its vibrant culture and timeless beauty.

Next, journey to the shores of Lake Bled, where crystal-clear waters are cradled by snow-capped peaks. Be mesmerized by the scenery as you indulge in optional activities like swimming in the pristine lake, cycling along its shores, or embarking on a traditional Pletna boat ride to the enchanting Bled Island. Delight your taste buds with a taste of the iconic Bled cream cake while savoring the tranquility of this Alpine paradise. After a day filled with unforgettable experiences, relax on the scenic drive back to Zagreb, reviewing the memories of your Slovenian adventure.
