You will visit the old town center where you will admire the works of the Slovene architect Jože Plečnik, who took an important part in designing the Ljubljana’s most famous bridges, town squares and parks. In a little more than three decades, Jože Plečnik transformed Ljubljana from a provincial city to the capital of the Slovene nation and reshaped the urban part of the city.

- Lake Bled - Bled is an Alpine town which represents one of the oldest and most beautiful tourist destinations in Slovenia. Its main attraction is the lake which surrounds Bled Island. The island has several buildings, the main one being the Gothic church dedicated to the Assumption of Mary. The church has a make-a-wish bell and is frequently visited by newlyweds and other guests. Lake Bled will certainly leave you speechless since it offers various sport activities and represents a place where you can spend the most romantic moments of your life.

Beautiful Slovenia - Lake Bled was a beautiful place despite the cold wind. We stopped long enough to enjoy the local ‘Kremna rezina’ which was delicious! We then went on to the very pretty town of Ljubljana. The views from the castle were amazing. We had a chance to get a tour of the city and see the sites – it’s definitely a place we’d like to return to for longer. The whole tour gave us a chance to see inside Slovenia from the door of our hotel in Piran. A great day!
