SLOVENIA – Oriol Hedo
From Ljbljana, Piran, Portoroz… to Bled Lake and Predjama Castle. Slovenia has been on our bucket list for years. We’ve heard many tales of its beauty from other travellers, but hadn’t a chance to visit ourselves. After some planning, we recently finally got to see the country we’ve been daydreaming of with our own eyes. Wandered around the charming streets of the Old Town, visited the iconic Triple Bridge, saw the grandiose Cathedral and checked out Town Hall. Everything you must see from Ljbljana (Slovenia’ capital city). Piran sits on a peninsula, which is surrounded by the gorgeous Adriatic Sea. While the Istrian coast is known for being rocky, you can find numerous stairways around the peninsula descending right into the sea (where you can also experience really beautiful sunsets behind the skyline though, in fact, they are pretty spectacular regardless of where you visualize them). So if you fancy a refreshing dip on a hot summer’s day, you can easily head right in. While Piran is a destination on its own, its sister town of Portoroz is also worthy of a stop. Its pleasant temperatures, beaches and the sea provide a welcome respite from soaring temperatures elsewhere in Europe. About Bled Lake, one of the most-visited places in Slovenia, thus it can get quite crowded at times. And finally, according to the Predjama Castle, it reigns over the surrounding area, perched high up in a vertical cliff. The castle was referred to in writing for the first time in 1202 and today it has been placed on lists of top 10 castles to see in the world.
To summarize, I definitely recommend exploring Slovenia by car. It saves you a ton of time, gives you a lot of freedom and also the possibility to explore big distances leisurely. Enjoy the best of what the country has to offer, but don’t hesitate to look beyond the popular sights and visit some lesser-known destinations as well to discover the authentic side of Slovenia.
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did while refreshing these beautiful memories and, as always, thank you very much for all the support and I can’t wait to see what’s coming out soon! :)
