What you’ll be doing
Day One: Arrive in Ljubljana
Day Two: Ljubljana Castle & Guided Culinary City Tour
We begin our adventure with one of the best introductions to the country — a relaxed 3.5-hour stroll through the cobbled streets of the old town. During the food tour, you’ll sample traditional dishes from Slovenia’s diverse regions and enjoy four local wines, each with its own story. Along the way, we’ll uncover the history and spirit of the Slovenian people and learn about the city’s architecture, culture and traditions.
This afternoon, we ascend to Ljubljana Castle, the proud symbol of the city for more than nine centuries. From its hilltop perch, we’ll take in panoramic views before stepping inside for the Time Machine experience — a fun and interactive journey through the castle’s dramatic past. From medieval battles to royal celebrations, we’ll reveal the stories hidden within these ancient walls.
- Breakfast & culinary tour included
Day Three: Lake Bled, Church of the Assumption & Vintgar Gorge
Today we travel to the jewel of Slovenia, Lake Bled, where alpine beauty meets timeless charm.
We begin at Bled Castle, a 12th-century stronghold perched high above the lake, offering panoramic views of its turquoise waters and island below. Inside, we explore the castle museum, traditional printing workshop and wine cellar. Next, we sample the famous Bled Cream Cake (Kremšnita) — a light custard-and-cream dessert loved throughout Slovenia.
Then we take to the water aboard a traditional Pletna boat, rowed by skilled oarsmen — a craft passed down through generations since 1590. At the heart of the lake lies Bled Island, where we climb 99 stone steps to the Church of the Assumption; legend has it that ringing its bell brings good luck.
To round off the day, we wander through the breathtaking Vintgar Gorge, following wooden walkways suspended above rushing emerald water — a striking showcase of Slovenia’s natural beauty.
- Breakfast included
Day Four: Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle
We journey underground today into Postojna Cave, one of the most remarkable cave systems in the world. Stretching for 14 miles, this karst masterpiece has been fascinating visitors since 1819. We board the electric cave train, gliding through vast chambers adorned with shimmering stalactites and otherworldly rock formations. Along the way, we encounter the cave’s most famous resident — the mysterious olm, or “human fish” — a rare, pale amphibian found only in these depths.
- Breakfast included
Day Five: Departure day
After breakfast, we’ll have some free time in Ljubljana before our transfer to the Ljubljana airport for our return flight home.
