Welcome to Slovenia! Upon arrival at Ljubljana’s airport, you’ll be greeted by a private driver who will take you to your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure.
Hotel Cubo Ljubljana is located in the heart of Ljubljana in the city's quaint historical center, only steps away from some of the city's most popular restaurants, cafes, and shops. This 4-star boutique hotel features 26 chic and well-appointed rooms, each outfitted with elements to ensure a comfortable stay, such as soundproofed windows, luxurious linens, climate control, high speed Wi-Fi, and more.
Set out today to explore Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital and one of Europe’s greenest cities. Your walking tour begins with a visit to Ljubljana Castle, a medieval fortress atop a hill that was built in the 12th century. Rather than a traditional guided tour, you will experience the castle firsthand. Step into a time machine and travel through six key periods that have shaped the history of Ljubljana Castle and the development of our city.
After, take a funicular ride and enjoy a magnificent view of the Julian Alps and the Karavanke Mountain Range. With your local guide, check out the city’s beautiful bridges and buildings designed by Jože Plečnik, Slovenia’s master of early-modern, minimalist design. Visit the Square of Three Bridges, which connects Ljubljana’s old town to the modern city, and explore cultural landmarks such as the National Museum and the Opera House. Stroll along the leafy banks of the emerald-green Ljubljanica River, which flows through the heart of the city.
*Includes: Breakfast
Today, you’ll leave Ljubljana and continue to famous Bled, where you’ll enjoy a scenic boat ride on the lake. From the boat, take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding Julian Alps and the charming island with its iconic church. Visit the historic Bled Castle, perched high on a cliff and offering panoramic views of the lake and the town below. For an added thrill, experience the excitement of Straža summer tobogganing, where you can race down the hillside on a fun and exhilarating ride while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
Vila Bled is an elegant 1950s-style hotel located on a private stretch of beach on Lake Bled, Slovenia. Surrounded by beautiful forest and peaceful parks, this exclusive hotel was once a presidential summer residence. The hotel features a private swimming deck, outdoor gardens and dining areas overlooking the lake and iconic Bled Island, a restaurant serving Slovenian and international gourmet cuisine, a spa and sauna, an elegant billiards room, and an impressive wine cellar. Vila Bled offers spacious well-appointed rooms outfitted with everything needed for a comfortable stay.
Enjoy a full day to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Bohinj region. Start your adventure with a kayaking trip on Lake Bohinj, where you’ll paddle across crystal-clear waters surrounded by the stunning Julian Alps. Enjoy the tranquility of the lake and the breathtaking scenery as you glide along its surface.
Next, embark on a hike to the Savica Waterfall, one of Slovenia’s most beautiful and iconic waterfalls. The trail takes you through lush forests and offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. The hike is moderately challenging, but the sight of the cascading waterfall, plunging into a turquoise pool, is well worth the effort.
After your hike, indulge in a delightful cheese-tasting experience. Visit a local dairy farm where you’ll learn about traditional cheese-making processes and sample a variety of delicious, locally produced cheeses. This tasting session offers the perfect opportunity to savor the region’s flavors and gain insight into its culinary heritage.
Say goodbye to Bled and journey south to the Slovenia coast. Along the way, you’ll stop at the Postojna Cave. Hop on the electric train, the world’s first railway inside an underground cave, for the ride of a lifetime through 14 miles of stunning ice formations developed over centuries. When the train drops you off, set off on foot through meandering pathways and tunnels to explore extraordinarily shaped natural columns and pillars.
After a fascinating visit, you’ll journey to Predjama Castle, a remarkable Renaissance castle that clings to a sheer cliff-face at the mouth of another of the region’s immense caves, with its upper floor stairwells carved from the bedrock.
Finally, arrive in Piran, your coastal base for the next three nights.
Located just steps away from the ocean, Hotel Piran is a comfortable 4-star hotel with over 100 years of history in the seaside Slovenian village of Piran. Its 103 rooms offer amenities such as air-conditioning and Wi-Fi, as well as private balconies. The onsite restaurant serves tasty Mediterranean cuisine, and other hotel facilities include a bar, spa, and rooftop lounge with panoramic sea views.
Explore the charming coastal town of Piran, known for its Venetian architecture and stunning seaside views. Begin your tour by wandering through the narrow streets and picturesque squares, soaking in the rich history and vibrant atmosphere. Visit Tartini Square, the heart of Piran, and admire the statue of the famous violinist Giuseppe Tartini. Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea and the colorful buildings lining the shore.
Next, head to the Fonda Fish Farm, located in the pristine waters of Piran Bay. Here, you’ll learn about sustainable fish farming practices and the meticulous care taken to breed the finest Piran sea bass. The farm is situated in the Sečovlje Salina Nature Park, offering a unique opportunity to witness the harmonious coexistence of nature and aquaculture.
During your visit, you’ll have the chance to see the fish farm’s operations up close, including the manual feeding process and the nurturing environment provided for the fish. The tour concludes with a delightful tasting session, where you can savor the fresh sea bass paired with local delicacies such as Piran fleur de sel and Istrian olive oil.
Discover the stunning Slovenian coast on an e-bike tour that combines scenic beauty with cultural exploration. Starting from the picturesque town of Piran, you’ll ride along the coast, enjoying the fresh sea breeze and breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea. The e-bike provides a comfortable and effortless way to explore, allowing you to cover more ground and enjoy the journey at your own pace.
As you pedal through charming coastal towns like Bernardin and Portorož, you’ll have the opportunity to stop and admire the local architecture, vibrant markets, and seaside cafés. The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Sečoveljske Saline Nature Park, one of the largest salt pans in the Mediterranean. Here, you’ll learn about the traditional salt-making process and the ecological significance of the area. The park is a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, offering a unique glimpse into Slovenia’s natural heritage.
