Lake Bled Travel Guide | Day Trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia
Join us as we visit Lake Bled in this travel guide as a day trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia where we cover the top things to do in Lake Bled including visiting the castle by foot and island by boat trip. Just slightly over an hour by bus and roughly 45 minutes by car Lake Bled is easily accessible from Ljubljana.
With most attractions clustered around the lake a perfect way to spend a day visiting Lake Bled is to walk around the lake, visit Bled Castle, eat local cake and have a leisurely lunch along with taking a boat trip out to the island. All of this can be done in a day allowing you to return to Ljubljana in the early evening.
Let's find out what makes Lake Bled one of the most popular day trips for visitors traveling in Slovenia.

Lake Bled Travel Guide | Day Trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia Video Transcript:
Lake Bled is probably the most popular day trip you can take from Ljubljana. This is a lake that sits on the Julian Alps, and in the middle of the lake you have a small island with a church - it’s about as picturesque as it gets and it draws massive crowds, but first, the journey there.
Bled Castle is a medieval castle that was built on a cliff rising 130 meters over Lake Bled. According to written sources, this is the oldest castle in Slovenia, first being mentioned in a document from the year 1011. The castle is set up around two courtyards which are connected with a staircase. Once you’re there, you can visit the chapel, check out some of the exhibits, watch a demonstration at the castle forge, or eat at the castle coffee shop or restaurant.
After the castle visit, we hiked back down and started our walk along Lake Bled because we were still feeling pretty stuffed from lunch. Little did we know this would take us several hours to complete.
After eating our slice of Bled Cream Cake, or Kremsnita, it was finally time to arrange a boat ride to Bled Island. While you can rent your own row boat to take out on the island, we chose to pay the 14 Euros per person to have someone else do the hard work. However, if you’re with a group of friends or travelling with family, it’s definitely cheaper to just rent a boat and row it yourself.
Bled Island is very small and it got pretty crowded even though it was low season. Forty minutes turned out to be plenty of time to climb up, have a look around, and enjoy some ice cream.
Now one last piece of advice: we visited in the off-season and at the end of the day, we found out there were not enough buses to transport everyone from Lake Bled back to Ljubljana.
We weren’t able to get on one bus because it was full, so we waited an hour and a half for the next one. By then, more day-trippers like us had gathered, and once again, not everyone could get on the bus, leaving a lot of people stranded, having to find a taxi or other alternative.
There was a lot of pushing and shoving, and many visitors with prepaid tickets were visibly upset.
Because our bus was full, this also meant that even though there were several scheduled stops on the way back to Ljubljana, we couldn’t pick up any passengers along the way, many of them who had been waiting for hours.
Lake Bled has experienced a boom in tourism, but the infrastructure to transport people hasn’t quite caught up yet. After a nice day visiting Bled, getting out of there proved to be very chaotic and stressful. Hopefully things will change in the future, but until then, know that leaving at the end can be tricky.
This is part of our Travel in Slovenia video series showcasing Slovenian food, Slovenian culture and Slovenian cuisine.

Ljubljana sightseeing & apartment tour
Days 2 and 3 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The jet lag hit me on day 2 and I slept through most of the day. I wandered through town, I went up to the Ljubljana Castle, and I give you an apartment tour of my very cute Airbnb. My lost suitcase finally arrives (or maybe not). I tell you my thoughts on solo travel.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my time in Ljubljana, Slovenia! It was a beautiful city and I can't wait to return with my husband someday. Now, I am off to Venice, Italy! See you soon!

Ljubljana Walking Tour: Explore Slovenia's Charming Capital City by Foot
Chilled out, gorgeous, safe. Ljubljana has to be one of the most charming and relaxed cities I've visited in Europe.
Join me on this bright summer day as I walk through the old town of Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, and explore some of the most popular landmarks and attractions.
Note: I probably mispronounced some names/areas but what I hope to do in this video is give you an insight into how beautiful Ljubljana is, and give you a feeling of what it would be like walking through this amazing place yourself.
Personally, what I loved most about Ljubljana was the architecture, accessibility and eco-friendly status of the city.
I really enjoyed walking around the city centre as it has been closed off to vehicle traffic, creating a safe, relaxed atmosphere for pedestrians and cyclists to get around freely.
I was surrounded by brilliant architecture all around me, and the locals whom I spoke to were incredibly friendly and spoke perfect English.
Ljubljana is also one of Europe’s most eco-friendly and “green” cities and was crowned the winner of the European Green Capital Award in 2016.

DRIVE FROM SALZBERG TO LAKE BLED
DRIVE FROM SALZBERG TO LAKE BLED
In Episode 4 of Tripped, Tim comes to grips with the fact there is a country named Slovenia just to the south of Austria. Not to be outdone, Allison is astounded that there are natural waterfalls that look similar to Splash Mountain in Disneyworld. (Also, the sun is hot and water is wet)
On their way south, the Diemers visit Gollinger Waterfall (Golling Wasserfall). Little do they know that it would be their favorite wasserfall in the entirety of the trip. They also shoot through Slovenia with a quick visit at the scenic Lake Bled (located in beautiful Bled, Slovenia) to swim in ice cold waters. Lake Bled sounds a lot like Lake Blood, which you have to admit, sounds pretty metal.
While not featured in the video, there is a sense of ever present shame as the Diemers continue to be unable to hold a camera steady or in focus for more than 10 seconds.
