Description

Discover the best of Slovenia in a single day with a guided tour from Zagreb, featuring the vibrant capital Ljubljana and the storybook scenery of Lake Bled. Leave the bustle of Zagreb behind and explore two of Slovenia’s most enchanting destinations. Discover the vibrant capital of Ljubljana and the postcard-perfect alpine retreat of Lake Bled—two must-sees that blend culture, nature, and local charm. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the countryside in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle as you cross the border into Slovenia. First, arrive in Ljubljana, a city that delights with its lively energy, leafy riverbanks, and architectural mix of Baroque, Art Nouveau, and modern design. Join your guide for a walking tour of the old town, where you’ll wander along the Ljubljanica River, visit the iconic Dragon Bridge, and explore cobbled streets lined with colorful facades and bustling cafes. Then, ride the funicular up to Ljubljana Castle, where panoramic views of the city and nearby mountains await. Next, continue to Lake Bled, a glacial lake framed by the Julian Alps. Admire the view of fairy-tale Bled Castle, perched 130 meters above the water on a dramatic cliff, and enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. Walk the lakeside promenade, swim in the crystal-clear waters (during summer), or choose to ride a traditional Pletna boat to Bled Island and ring the wishing bell at the Church of the Assumption. Before heading back, treat yourself to a slice of the famous Bled cream cake, a beloved Slovenian dessert. This tour is the perfect blend of scenic beauty, rich history, and authentic local experiences—all in one unforgettable day trip from Zagreb.
