6 days in Slovenia Itinerary

Sitting astride the Ljubljanica River, Ljubljana is marked with picturesque bridges and a marketplace, designed by the famous architect Jože Plečnik.

Discover out-of-the-way places like Spas and Planica Nordic Centre. Take a break from the city and head to Vrsic Pass - Julian Alps and Intersport Bernik. Explore Ljubljana's surroundings by going to Maribor (Escape Room Enigmarium Maribor & Mariborsko Pohorje Ski Resort), Mala Osojnica (in Bled) and Kranjska Gora (Zelenci Nature Reserve, Zgornjesavska Valley, &more). There's still lots to do: sample the tasty concoctions at Union Experience and admire the local landmark of Plecnik's arcade and fountain.
