Description

Begin your festive adventure in the early morning as you leave Zagreb and cross the border into Slovenia. Watch the landscape transform into a storybook scene of rolling hills and snow-covered forests. Listen as your guide shares fascinating stories about the region’s culture, history, and Christmas customs as you make your way toward the first stop — Ljubljana. As you enter Ljubljana, the city comes alive with festive lights and music. The entire old town is beautifully illuminated, with thousands of golden lights reflecting on the Ljubljanica River. Each December, the capital transforms into a vibrant Christmas village filled with cozy wooden chalets, street performers, and the inviting aroma of mulled wine and cinnamon. Take a guided walking tour through the historic city center — see the iconic Triple Bridge, Dragon Bridge, and Prešeren Square, where the city’s main Christmas Market takes place. Admire the creative light installations designed by local artists, symbolizing stars, constellations, and holiday wishes. Browse through stalls offering handmade gifts, traditional Slovenian sweets, and local crafts — the perfect place to find a unique souvenir. Enjoy free time to explore on your own: warm up with a cup of hot chocolate, listen to live music, or enjoy a delicious local pastry while watching the snowflakes fall over the river. The festive atmosphere in Ljubljana is intimate yet lively — a true hidden gem of European Christmas markets. After enjoying Ljubljana’s cozy Christmas charm, continue toward one of the most stunning natural sights in Europe — Lake Bled. During winter, Bled turns into a tranquil fairytale world, surrounded by the snow-covered Julian Alps. The emerald lake often reflects the golden lights of the Bled Advent Market, creating postcard-perfect scenery. Visit Bled Castle, perched high above the lake, for panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Learn about the history of this medieval fortress and, if the weather allows, take unforgettable photos of the island church in the middle of the lake. Stroll along the waterfront, where wooden stalls sell handmade crafts, winter drinks, and local delicacies. Don’t miss the chance to taste the famous Bled cream cake (kremšnita) — the town’s beloved dessert, served warm with a view of the sparkling lake. You might even hear carolers singing or spot Santa’s cottage by the water, adding to the magic of the day. As the sun sets over the mountains, return to Zagreb. Sit back and relax in the comfort of your vehicle while the twinkling lights fade into the distance.
