Although Slovenia is relatively small, it is among the most diverse countries on the planet. And a part of this Green Heart of Europe that stands out the most is Western Slovenia. It is amazing to think that in under two hours, you can travel from pristine mountain valleys to the romantic Adriatic coast. This itinerary consists of unique natural and cultural attractions and is your key to discovering Western Slovenia in eight days.
You will begin your Western Slovenia itinerary of 8 days in one of the most famous locations in Slovenia, Bled. A scenic ride in the traditional Pletna boat to Lake Bled island or a cable car ride to Mount Vogel deep in Triglav National Park will make you wish you could stay there forever. But don’t worry, because this is only the start. A scenic ride over the Vršič Mountain pass will take you to the scenic Soča valley. With easy and relaxing hikes, you will explore the region’s highlights such as the Kozjak Waterfall, Tolmin Gorge, and the Kobarid Museum.
After leaving the emerald Soča river behind you will spend the night in Goriška Brda, a paradise for all the wine lovers. From there, our journey will continue to the Karst region where you will roam the streets of Štanjel, one of the oldest settlements in the region. You will also explore the underground tunnels of the mythical Škocjan caves. After a short drive from the Karst region, you will set eyes upon the dreamy coastline of the Adriatic. Prepare to be amazed by the historic architecture of the beautiful city of Piran and a visit to the Sečovlje Salt Pans, where they still harvest the salt with the same technique as they did 700 years ago.
Although our journey is slowly coming to an end, there are still quite a few things left to see. On day seven you will visit Postojna cave, home to the unique creatures, known also as “baby dragons”. After surviving an encounter with a dragon, you can dive into the world of knights at the Predjama Castle, before departing to the capital Ljubljana. The city is known for its interesting architecture, which was recognized by UNESCO and its famous gastronomic offer, that you simply must try.
The sightseeing in this tour package is set at a comfortable pace, so you will have plenty of time to explore everything, while still packed with activities that will give you something to reminisce about for years to come.

The tour plan was really wonderful, a good balance of urban and outdoor locations and experiences. The trip app worked perfectly, making it simple to keep organized with excursion vouchers, route maps, site descriptions, etc. it also made it easy to communicate with the travel company when we occasionally had questions. We were amazed at how much variety there was in a relatively small area. I highly recommend this company and this particular trip plan for anyone who would like to explore this area of Slovenia.

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
