Slovenian Panorama: An Exclusive Tour

Enjoy a guided tour around the capital city of Slovenia and visit its most remarkable attractions: Triple Bridge, Dragon Bridge, Cathedral, Castle, Prešeren Square, University, and Ljubljanica River. Ride a funicular to the castle from Old Town, not far from the market, and you will be rewarded with excellent views of the city and the mountains. In the afternoon, you visit Postojna Cave. Postojna Cave can boast more than 37 million visitors, an impressive number for a country as small as Slovenia. An electric train will take you into the caves and enjoy the underground karst world. Overnight in Ljubljana.

After breakfast, the tour will lead you to The Logarska Valley, one of Europe's most beautiful Alpine glacial valleys. It extends into the Kamnik-Savinja Alps from the north. Tradition and nature have found harmony here, serving as an excellent example of sustainable development. Next, walk to the Rinka waterfall. Then, drive to Kamnik with a stop for a tasting of traditional products of the Savinjska region, overnight in Kamnik or vicinity.

Active day in Gorenjska region. We will visit Velika Planina, a karstified mountain plateau in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, and learn the herdsmen's story in intact nature. The herdsmen's settlement is one of few settlements of such size in Europe and attracts many visitors throughout the year. It is distinct by its typical architecture, which symbolizes Velika Planina. The roofs are covered with pine shingles, which extend relatively low—free time for a typical herdsmen's lunch. Return to the valley and drive to Bled. Overnight in Bled.

Start the day by visiting Bled, Slovenia's most popular tourist resort. Take a ride around the lake and enjoy the photo opportunities of this picturesque Slovenian treasure with its emerald-green lake, picture-postcard church on an islet, and a medieval castle clinging to a rocky 139 m high cliff. Remember to try the typical and sinfully good cream cake 'kremsnita'. Then, continue to the valley of Bohinj, with its unspoiled nature and a glacial lake amidst the Julian Alps, with its brooding, eerily calm, and silent body of water. This lake is a nature lovers' paradise. See where the local mountaineers first climbed Mt. Triglav (Slovenian highest mountain-2864 m). After the visit, take the cable car to Mount Vogel. This alpine ski resort is also a popular tourist and hiker destination in the summer. From there, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Bohinj Valley. Have some free time for a mountain snack or lunch, then return to Bled for an overnight.
*Optional visit to Savica waterfall instead of Vogel.

In the morning, you ride towards Lipica, the famous stud farm. That lives for and on its snow-white Lipizzaner horses, first bred here for the Spanish Riding School in Vienna in the late 16th century. Then we continue our tour to Piran, everybody's favorite Slovenian coastal city, very picturesque and sitting at the tip of a narrow peninsula, one of the best-preserved historical towns anywhere on the Adriatic and a gem of Venetian Gothic architecture. You will enjoy some free time in Piran for a stroll along the sea or the narrow Istrian streets. Overnight in Piran or Portorož.
