Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and its cultural, educational, economic, political, and administrative centre. It is famous for its rich history and unique architecture. The old town is dominated by Ljubljana Castle, which sits atop Castle Hill, offering stunning views of the city, and is divided by the Ljubljanica River.
On your trip, you will explore ancient and modern architecture and admire the works of Jože Plečnik, who designed the city's famous bridges, squares, and parks. You will visit notable landmarks such as the Town Hall, Triple Bridge, Shoemakers’ Bridge, Ljubljana Cathedral, Robba Fountain, Prešeren Square, and Congress Square. The city's symbol is the dragon, representing power and courage, seen on Ljubljana Castle's tower and Dragon Bridge.
After visiting Ljubljana, you will be driven to Bled, a beautiful Alpine town. Its main attraction is Lake Bled, with Bled Island at its centre. The island's Gothic church, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary, has a "make-a-wish" bell and is popular among newlyweds and pilgrims. You will enjoy a scenic walk around the lake, admiring swans and ducks, and observe Bled Castle, Slovenia’s oldest, perched dramatically on a cliff above the glacial lake.
Finally, you’ll explore other landmarks and enjoy a delicious local vanilla and custard cream cake called kremšnita, while capturing stunning photos of the lake, island, castle, and nearby Alps.
