Would you like a break from the hustle and bustle? How about a short trip to Slovenia? A country full of experiences on all levels. In this blog post, I would like to give you some insights and inspiration for your trip to Slovenia.

Top 3 Cities to Visit

Ljubljana

Those arriving by plane usually land in Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana. With about 290,000 inhabitants, the city is also the largest in the country. There is a lot to discover in this really beautiful city, thanks to its size it can be explored superbly on foot.

Where to Stay?

Ljubliana offers numerous accommodation options. Thanks to its central location, Grand Hotel Union is a perfect starting point for exploring Ljubljana.

Where to Eat?

I highly recommend a visit to JB for all gourmand friends. Let yourself be surprised by each course.

For the small hunger in between, I can recommend a delicious ice cream at Vigò.

What to Do?

Whether it’s exploring the city, visiting the market or a short hike to Ljubljana Castle, the city offers many options that are in walking distance.

Bled

Only 40 minutes by car to the north of Ljubljana lies the town of Bled. A town surrounded by breathtaking nature.

Where to Stay?

The Elegans Hotel Brdo, which opened in summer 2021, is located just outside Bled. I was particularly impressed by the generous breakfast buffet and the modern and luxurious rooms.

Where to Eat?

The restaurant Vila Podvin offers excellent gourmet menus and is definitely worth a visit.

What to Do?

Bled also offers numerous sights. I particularly recommend a visit to Bled Castle. From up there you also have a wonderful view of Lake Bled with its island.

Portorož

On the southern side of Slovenia stretches 46 kilometres of coastline, where the coastal town of Portorož is located.

Where to Stay?

There are numerous hotels along the coast. The Hotel Slovenija is certainly recommendable.

Where to Eat?

A special experience is a dinner at COB (Cooking Outside the Box) where experience cuisine meets gourmet cuisine.

What to Do?

The coastal town of Portorož has a lot to offer. For example, a leisurely day at the beach, a visit to the thermal spa (which is free for guests of Hotel Slovenija) or a visit to the Fonda fish farm.
