Lake Bled Day Trip
After breakfast, take a scenic drive to Lake Bled, a peaceful location surrounded by mountains and known for its clear waters. On arrival, meet a local guide for a traditional pletna boat ride across the lake to its small island. There, you can visit the Church of the Assumption and take part in a local tradition by ringing the wishing bell, which many believe brings good luck. Following the boat ride, continue to Bled Castle, which stands on a high cliff overlooking the lake. The castle is one of the oldest in Slovenia and offers insight into the area's past through its small museum and preserved buildings. Walk through the courtyard, visit the exhibition rooms, and take in views across the lake and nearby countryside. The location of the castle provides a clear sense of how important this area has been through time. In the afternoon, your driver will take you back to Ljubljana. The return drive offers another chance to see more of Slovenia’s natural scenery at a relaxed pace. Once back at your hotel, you’ll have the rest of the evening free to spend as you choose, whether that means going out for dinner or taking time to unwind.
