Ljubljana — 3 nights

Step out of the city life by going to Postojna Cave and Bled Island. Do some cultural sightseeing at Ljubljana Old Town and Cathedral of St. Nicholas. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Ljubljana: Bled (Zipline, Bled Castle, &more) and Vintgar Gorge (in Zgornje Gorje). There's still lots to do: explore the historical opulence of Ljubljana Castle, snap pictures at Triple Bridge, get a sense of history and politics at Town Hall, and contemplate the waterfront views at Ljubljanica River.

Slovenia travel guide
Sunny Side of the Alps
From snowcapped Alpine peaks to sandy Adriatic beaches, a trip to Slovenia is like taking several vacations at once. Whatever the season, the country offers enticing natural attractions, all close at hand, including thick forests, scenic valleys, cave systems, waterfalls, lakes, and the Adriatic coast. For those seeking an active holiday, you'll fine an abundance of ski slopes, trails to hike, roads to bike, and rocks to climb. Pay a visit to some of Slovenia's spa resorts and take advantage of the fresh mountain air and thermal waters. Various castles, churches, and historical towns--many of which are fully preserved--tell stories of the country's past. In Slovenia's major cities, admire the architecture, explore the local arts, visit museums, and chat with the locals over a cup of coffee. Slovenian cuisine offers a blend of Alpine and Mediterranean tastes and is definitely worth trying, along with the country's wines.
