Highlights

✨ Private Lake Bled Experience with included pletna boat ride ✨ Lake Bled at your own pace: a private SUV, your own guide, and no group to wait for. Glide across the emerald lake on a traditional pletna, a wooden boat rowed standing up, as it has been for centuries. Climb the 99 steps on Bled Island, ring the wishing bell and hear the legend behind it. Then head up to Bled Castle, Slovenia’s oldest, perched on a cliff high above the water, for a spectacular view over the lake, the island and the Alps beyond. Finish with a slice of kremšnita, Bled’s famous cream cake, at a lakeside café. Want more? Add a short but steep climb to the Ojstrica viewpoint for Bled’s postcard view, or a dose of adrenaline on the Dolinka Zipline. ✨

About Ljubljana

Ljubljana is Slovenia's small, green capital, a riverside city of bridges, a hilltop castle and cafés, with lakes and mountains within reach.

Ljubljana sits on the Ljubljanica River beneath a castle on a wooded hill, and its compact centre is closed to most traffic. The architect Jože Plečnik shaped much of the look of the city, with the Triple Bridge, the riverside market colonnades and the National and University Library. The Dragon Bridge, guarded by four dragons, recalls the city's symbol, and a funicular climbs to the castle.

Top-ranked sights in Ljubljana: Dragon Bridge, Ljubljana Old Town, Triple Bridge (Tromostovje).
