A trip to Bled must be a part of any visit to Slovenia. Take our half-day tour and visit Lake Bled, the charming Alpine resort at the very edge of the Julian Alps.

Ride a traditional ‘pletna’ boat to Bled Island, where you can visit the church or try local sweet treats at the cafe. Enjoy a perfect day sipping coffee and eating »Kremšnita«, the traditional Bled custard cream cake, at the lakeside.

Following the boat ride, you get some time to explore the little island and enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding area. Optionally, you can enter the Church of the Assumption and even ring the wishing bell, which has been ringing over Lake Bled since 1534.
Our guide will also take you to visit Bled Castle and the castle museum, which gives you an insight into the history of the entire area. We will show you some of the best viewpoints form where you will be able to admire magnificent views over Lake Bled and Bled Island and take beautiful photos. Bled castle is more than a thousand
years old, and one of the most spectacular castles in Slovenia. On the shore of Lake Bled it is possible to take a short walk along Lake Bled and watch the majestic swans and playful ducks swimming on the lake.
