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.
