Slovenia in a Week: Lake Bled, Caves & Alpine Valleys
Plan a week of lakes, caves and city life, with time to slow down
Slovenia is an excellent match for a 7-10 day trip, giving you enough time for a lively capital, standout mountain scenery and time by the water, without turning the vacation into a string of long travel days. Many itineraries link Ljubljana with Lake Bled, then build in headline sights such as Postojna Cave, finishing with a change of pace on the coast near Portoroz and neighbouring seaside towns. Trips come in several formats, including guided tours and self-guided drives, so you can choose a comfortable balance between expert support and independent time. A number of routes also combine Slovenia with Austria, Croatia and Italy, but the focus typically remains on Slovenia’s most memorable highlights and a generally easy-going rhythm.

The truffle hunting with sampling after is a welcome change from the old walled cities as is the oyster tasting and winery tour. It would have been great to have an option to go to the Blue caves from Hvar or Split. Nice to go to Hvar but definitely need options once there on boating expeditions.

It was a good small group of 15 people. The bus was too small for 15 people, especially with some long drives (up to 5 hours). There was not enough space for all the luggage. Even with 1 guest not having her luggage arrive, the driver was challenged trying to fit all the bags. Small bag items had to be put on the few empty chairs.

He really made the trip what is was and helped deal with minor issues (hotel rooms etc). itinerary was great- lots of variety and good pace. Our highlights: Ljubljana, Bled and Plitvice, truffle dogs, wine! Ljubljana to Portorose day was very long. A lunch break would have been preferable to the 45 min photo stop at Smartno. Valamar diamante hotel in Porec wasn't suitable for this type of traveller who tend to prefer to be in the centre of the town and support smaller businesses.
