If you don’t know where you’re going, this fly & drive holiday in Slovenia will take you there.

Exploring Slovenia, Europe’s most fascinatingly diverse country, can very easily be done by car. Especially if you know exactly how to reach your destination and what to do when you get there. Thanks to Slovenia’s small size and exceptional connectivity, you can visit the places you want when you want without worrying about planning every aspect of your journey.

With our list of Slovenia’s main landmarks and attractions, your holiday will be packed with possibilities. You are in full control of your itinerary. You decide which cultural highlights and outdoor activities of a particular area appeal to you most, and simply see them and do them. Enjoy the surprisingly short travel distances on this beautiful country’s well-maintained roads and soak up the countryside as you dash from one awesome destination to another.

Staying in comfortable, clean, and conveniently located accommodations, you will get to experience each destination to the max. Truth be told, there are too many optional extras to choose from, but don’t worry, you can always extend your holiday for a day or two and check them off your list. It is a self-guided trip after all.

Your adventure will begin in our picture-perfect capital Ljubljana. After obligatory sightseeing, tasting of local cuisine, and perhaps some outdoor recreation, you will head north to the Alpine region, where panoramic views and later the sparkling Lake Bled and its surroundings await. This region is home to the incredibly captivating Triglav National Park, where you’ll be staying near Lake Bohinj, Kranjska Gora, and the Soča Valley area. Hiking, cycling, rafting, ziplining, rock climbing, canyoning, and many other activities are up for grabs in this gorgeous wilderness.

Next, you’ll be driving across some more scenic landscapes as you make your way to the enchanting Karst, and on towards Slovenia's coastal area. Suddenly, the Mediterranean climate welcomes you to visit the seaside towns of Piran and Portorož, with a number of fantastic stops located. Then it’s back to Ljubljana through yet another stretch of the Karst, where pitstops like the Postojna Cave and the medieval phenomenon of Predjama Castle will take your breath away.

Frequently Asked Questions

The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.

Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.

It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in.

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.

Yes! Our holidays are designed to give you some free time every day to relax and spend it the way you want to. It is your holiday after all! For any advice and suggestions you can always turn to your tour leader or our back office, who will be more than happy to help you out.
