Slovenia Holidays

Located in the Julian Alps, Lake Bled is Slovenia’s most iconic destination, and for good reason. Surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery, the lake is home to the perfectly picturesque Bled Island, known for its iconic church steeple peeking above the dense evergreen treetops. Adding to the breathtaking beauty of this extraordinary place is Bled Castle, which overlooks the entire area from the top of a cliff on the lakeside. On our holidays to Slovenia, we’ll explore the beauty of Lake Bled with a boat trip to Bled Island.

Slovenia’s only national park, Triglav, is known for housing some of the most impressive scenery in the entire country. In addition to the soaring Julian Alps, the park contains the impressive Lake Bohinj, the largest lake in Slovenia. Less well known, but just as beautiful as Bled, Lake Bohinj is a popular spot for fishing, swimming and hill walking. On our holidays to Slovenia, we’ll take a cable car trip up to the park’s Mount Vogel to marvel at the striking views before enjoying a panoramic drive around the lake.

A city of only 280,000 people, Slovenia’s capital is easy to explore by foot, taking in its charming, leafy streets and historic buildings. The Ljubljanica River is located at the heart of the city, boasting beautiful bridges and trendy cafés along its banks. Dominating the city’s skyline is Ljubljana Castle, a must-see for history buffs. Accessible by funicular from the Old Town, the castle now houses a museum, restaurant and gallery. On our trips including Ljubljana, we’ll explore all of these sites and more with a guided city tour and plenty of free time.

Stretching on for an impressive 24,340m through Slovenia’s karst region, Postojna Cave is the second-longest cave system in the country. Forged by the Pivka River, the caves have been a popular tourist attraction for decades, with a cave railway transporting visitors through the limestone tunnels and passages for the past 140 years. Uniquely, a large open part of the cave known as Congress Hall, is now used as a venue for music and theatre performances, conferences and even weddings! On our trips to Slovenia, we’ll visit these incredible caves and learn about their history from an expert guide.
