Four Days Around Ljubljana, an Itinerary
Ljubljana is a cute, safe, green European capital with a small-town feel. It also boasts an amazing variety of activities within just an hour’s drive of the city. Mountains, lakes, wineries, caves — Slovenia has something for everyone. Having traveled to a dozen countries and over two dozen cities in the past year, it’s still one of our favorites.
How to Enjoy a Month in Slovenia
There is so much to do in Slovenia, you can easily explore for a month — we did! Find out how to make the most of your time — the hidden attractions in Ljubljana and all the awesome getaway spots
A Foodie’s Fancy Feasts: Ljubljana
Ljubljana was a culinary delight, and the subject of my first installment of a travel food series - A Foodie’s Fancy Feasts! Check out our favorite places to eat in Ljubljana, the best things to get there and whether they are family friendly and/or special occasion places.
Vintgar Gorge - it Really is that Gorgeous
Although seasoned world travelers may rate Vintgar below some Swiss canyons, the enchanting scenery definitely exceeded my expectations.
Bled and Bohinj
There’s few more famous landmarks in Slovenia than lake Bled. But of course, if you ask most Slovenians they will scoff at it --“Tourist trap!” — and praise the nearby Bohinj. Having over a month at our disposal, we went to see both and to attempt to summit Bohinj’s Vogel peak.
Two Days in Piran, Slovenia’s Coastal Paradise
We were supposed to only stay a night, but when it was time to check out and drive away, we just couldn’t bear to leave. Read on for the best way to spend two days there.
Water Bombs in Bled!
Bled lake is big and wide. And today, I will take you about a really cool water park on its castle side. It has slides and jumps galore, food and crafts, and sun and fun. You will not want for more!
Goriška Brda - an Illustrated Itinerary
Goriska Brda is a lovely, relaxed wine region in the northwest of Slovenia on the border with Italy. Check out our suggested two night stay itinerary.
Glory to Facebook
Yes I said it. Not a popular opinion I know, but Facebook can make amazing serendipitous things happen.
Kolibri - the only game in town
When I first searched for exotic cocktails in Ljubljana, several places popped up with promising menus. Of these, the closest and the most open was Kalibri, so I started with it.
Goriška Brda & Trieste - the Travelog
Since we only rented cars for trips, we tried to maximize each one. In this case we drove to Brda after seeing the Postojna caves and Predjama castle (subject of a future post), and hit Trieste on the way out.
Velika Planina - Greener than you Thought Possible
Between the emerald green fields, the snowcapped mountains in the background and the clean mountain air, the place is absolutely gorgeous.
In Search of the Perfect Kava in Ljubljana
Kava we quickly learned here means coffee - and coffee means espresso. But what if you want to saver your coffee, to drink more than an ounce of it and without diluting it with milk? Then read on.
Hiking near Ljubljana - Šmarna Gora and Viševnik
I explore the best hiking Slovenia has to offer — without driving too far or working too hard.
