Ljubljana is a tiny capital of Slovenia. A town where you will instantly feel at home while travelling through Slovenia. It originates in the prehistoric times, later on there came the Romans and other big civilizations. But the current center is mainly characterized by the medieval castle, cobblestone alleys and the river Ljubljanica with its many bridges, bars and dining options alongside it. Enjoy your special experience of Ljubljana while dining in the castle tower above the city or enjoy the unique private tour through the city by the 3 wise men that defined Ljubljana as it is today – a green capital (*).
Lake Bled is not only a natural wonder of Slovenia but a cultural one as well. There is a castle on the rock overlooking the lake with one of the more unique Slovenian wine cellars and probably the restaurant with the best view in the country. And the church on the island in the middle of the lake can be reached privately, with a traditional boat and by ringing the bell, that will grant you a wish. But don’t wait for that wish if you want to get married over there – it has to be booked well in advance.
Slovenia can be easily combined with the visit of Venice but you can get the taste of in the Slovenian Venetian town of Piran where you can privately dine by the sea or have a unique experience on the sea. Also, just a simple walk through the narrow alleys of the town, makes one enjoy the echos from the walls.
Slovenia is rich in castles, manors, fortresses, and fortification systems. These were built at various times during the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. The first traces of their construction date all the way back to antiquity. Time got the better of many of them, but dozens now fulfil interesting functions.
Hundreds of castles could once be found around Slovenian lands, but many have been overtaken by unpredictable historical events. Only ruins remain, which excite the people of today due to the stories hidden within the thick walls and the beautiful views of the picturesque landscape. Quite a few mighty buildings survived the test of time; in these you can now see various exhibitions and shows, listen to concerts, dine, spend the night, or experience the wedding of your dreams.
