Ljubljana City Break
Your Guided Group Holiday To Slovenia
Travel with us to the heart of Eastern Europe on this 4-night short break to Slovenia. Situated between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea, Slovenia boasts astounding natural beauty and cultural wealth, and we’ll experience it all on this spectacular holiday. From our base in the charming and compact capital of Ljubljana, we’ll tour the incredible Postojna Caves in the country’s expansive Karst region, travel to the small stretch of Slovenian coastline on the Mediterranean to visit the picturesque town of Piran and discover the breath-taking scenery of the Slovenian Alps as we visit the country’s largest lake, Lake Bohinj, as well as its most famous, Bled. We’ll also enjoy plenty of time to explore Ljubljana’s green and leafy streets, historic buildings, trendy cafés and markets at our own pace, as well as taking in some of its most popular sites on a half day guided walking tour.
