share Slovenia may be small, but boy oh boy is it perfectly formed. Lovely Ljubljana is the perfect base from which to explore the country, with a wide range of history, culture, entertainment and activity within a two-hour drive of the capital. Two hours is good an all, but the modern world is a fast-moving place; where can we visit just one hour away from Ljubljana? These are some of our favourite places just an hour from LJ.
Lake Bled
Where else to start? Slovenia’s most magical natural setting is a 42-minute drive north of the capital, a gorgeous ride through quaint villages and tranquil Slovenian countryside. Lake Bled is about as picture-perfect as it gets, a quite gorgeous lake surrounded by jagged mountains and a famous castle. Lake Bled is one of the most popular day trips from Ljubljana, although you might find yourself staying forever and ever.
