Nestled on the Ljubljanica River, the 12th century city of Ljubljana is a welcoming mix of beauty, history, art and architecture. Your day-long adventure begins with a scenic ride from Trieste. Once in Slovenia's capital city you'll embark on a guided walking tour. Here, a delightful mix of architectural styles of Renaissance, Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings exist peacefully side by side. Keep your eyes open for works of art by famous architect and native son Joe Plecnik who gave the city its 20th century identity. A coach ride to Lake Bled beckons next. Known for its alpine beauty, the views across the crystal blue lake are stunning with panoramic views of the island and beyond. Enjoy free time to walk along the lake, sample some of the local cuisine or visit the medieval castle (entrance fees and meals are not included) before returning to port.
