Bled, Bohinj and Vintgar Gorge Day Trip from Ljubljana

This Bled, Bohinj and Vintgar Gorge day trip from Ljubljana covers the main sights of the Julian Alps in one day. You travel in a small group of up to eight people in an air-conditioned minivan, with a guide who also drives. It suits travelers who want to see the lakes and a gorge without renting a car or planning connections.

The stops

• Vintgar Gorge (about 2 hours): a walk along a narrow canyon with walls up to 100 meters high. The entrance fee is paid separately.
• Lake Bled (about 1 hour): a short walk by the lake, then an optional ride on a pletna, a traditional wooden boat, to Bled Island, the only island in Slovenia. Your guide tells the island’s history while you explore. The boat ride is paid separately, in cash only.
• Bled Castle (about 1 hour): a visit with your guide to the castle above the lake. The castle entrance fee is included.
• Lake Bohinj (about 2 hours): the largest glacial lake in Slovenia, inside Triglav National Park. You get free time to swim or rent a canoe at your own cost.
• Škofja Loka (about 30 minutes): a small medieval town with a castle and a bridge said to be the oldest in Central Europe. A good last stop for a walk and photos before the drive back.
