Itinerary

Ljubljana is a small town measured by world standards; in fact it is also one of the smallest capital cities in one of the smallest countries and because of the influence of different cultures in the past, Ljubljana has a diverse architecture, people and cuisine. A translation of Ljubljana in Slovenian language means "the beloved".

Ljubljana has visible similarities to Vienna and Prague but without the hordes of tourists. This is not coincidental as all three were partially designed by the great architect Jože Plečnik, a local of Ljubljana. He was able to design the city much as he liked as the original city was devastated in 1895 by an earthquake.

Ljubljana sightseeing walking tour includes a local guide for a two  hour stroll around the capital.

At the edge of the Triglav National Park lies Lake Bled. On a small island in the middle is a 9th century church with a baroque tower and overlooking the lake is a mediaeval castle. The whole scene is set against the incredible backdrop of the Julian Alps. Bled also offers a tradition of thermal springs and a curative climate which have long made it one of Europe's finest mountain resorts all year round.

Bled sightseeing tour includes transfers from Ljubljana, a local guide for two hours, Pletna boat ride and entrance to Bled islet. Free time for lunch and for exploration of Bled Castle. Whole day with transfers will be up to six hours.

Postojna Jama is a fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls with an astonishing diversity of Karst features. A visit here offers a unique and adventurous ride on a special train which takes you into the cave under spectacular underground arches, embellished with chandellier-like stalactites and through a beautiful subterranean world full of playful limestone sculptures.

Predjama Castle reigns over the surrounding area, not far from Postojna, in the idyllic village of the same name. This picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious and impregnable castle has been perched up in the middle of a vertical 123-metre high cliff for more than 800 years. Its romantic appeal is further emphasized by the idyllic Lokva River, which disappears into the underground world deep down below the castle.

Excursion to Postojna from Ljubljana includes transfers, joint entrance ticket for Postojna caves & Predjama castle. Whole trip with transfers will be up to six hours.
