In this Ljubljana itinerary, we will cover the best things to do in the enchanting Slovakian capital as well as the reason we decided to visit β Lake Bled. Although Bled steals most of the limelight, Ljubljana is of the most surprising cities we have ever been to. We expected a quaint, tourist town instead we were mesmerised by a stunning city with unbelievable food, people and architecture.
Although there are many tours and local excursions, we wanted to share the cheapest, easiest way to visit Lake Bled from Ljubljana for other budget travellers like us as well as the highlights from our day in the city, so what are you waiting for?
We did use public transport to get from from Ljubljana to Lake Bled, but this was surprisingly affordable more on that later.
This is because the restaurants in Ljubljana were irresistible and the riverside bars were just too cute not to enjoy a wine or two. If you love a nose at the numbers, you can read all about how much backpacking Europe costs in our detailed guide. If you are visiting Ljubljana we cannot recommend our accommodation enough. Our room had a huge double bed and one of the nicest hosts we have ever dealt with.
It was also the perfect base for our Ljubljana itinerary as we were able to walk into the city centre in around 20 minutes. However, if you are hoping for less crowds and a more tranquil experience, then plan your Ljubljana to Bled adventure in Winter.
