Best sights in Slovenia
Ljubljana (capital)
Ljubljana is surrounded by mountain tops, has a calm river running through it, a medieval castle perched at the top, and lots of charming dragon statues sprinkled across town.
Lake Bled (55 km from Ljubljana)
Lake Bled is a quiet little city of medieval, gothic, and renaissance buildings, and streets overflowing with great cafes and restaurants.
Lake Bohinj (28 km from Lake Bled)
Lake Bohinj is another of Slovenia’s beautiful lakes. It’s the perfect place for hiking, biking and water sports, and there’s even a waterfall.
The Vršič Pass is a high mountain pass across the Julian Alps in northwestern Slovenia. It is the highest pass in Slovenia and it connects Kranjska with Soca Valley. Perfect for a road trip!
Soca Valley (130 km from Ljubljana)
Soca Valley is home to waterfalls, mountains, canyons and lots of activities like wildwater kayaking, rafting and canyoning on the beautiful Soca river.
Kobarid (156 km from Ljubljana)
Kobarid is nestled in the super beautiful Soca Valley. It’s known for the 1917 Battle of Caporetto, where the Italian retreat was documented by Ernest Hemingway in his novel ‘A Farewell to Arms’.
