Discover Bled, one of the most iconic and picturesque destinations in the world. This journey offers the perfect combination of pristine nature, thousand-year-old history, and traditional Slovenian hospitality.

Our unforgettable experience begins at Lake Bled, whose emerald-green color has captivated visitors for centuries. In the heart of the lake lies Bled Island, the only natural island in Slovenia, featuring the picturesque Church of the Assumption of Mary. Be sure to ring the legendary wishing bell.

Your visit to the island will be unforgettable with a ride on a Pletna. This traditional Slovenian wooden boat with a canopy is a symbol of Bled, whose heritage dates back to the 16th century.

Upon your return, visit Bled Castle, which proudly stands on a cliff 130 meters above the lake. This oldest castle in Slovenia (first mentioned in 1011) offers the most beautiful 360-degree panoramic view of the lake, the island, and the majestic Julian Alps, with snow-capped mountain peaks reigning in the background. The castle is an ideal spot for unforgettable photographs and insight into rich history.

Whether you are a history lover or seeking the most fairy-tale views, Bled will not leave you indifferent. Let this jewel in the embrace of the mountains enchant you.
