About Day Trips from Zagreb to Slovenia

Zagreb, the vibrant capital of Croatia, holds stories and remnants from as far back as the Roman times. With nearly a million residents, this city has stood the test of time, transitioning from a historical landmark to a bustling European hotspot. Every corner of this city whispers tales of the past, offering an abundance of cultural experiences with museums, galleries, and historical sites galore.

While the city brims with attractions, there’s a world of exploration that lies just beyond its borders. If you ever find yourself thinking of venturing out for a change of scenery, Slovenia stands out as a top choice for a day trip from Zagreb.

Zagreb’s strategic position makes traveling to neighboring regions a breeze. Excellent infrastructure, including well-maintained roads, frequent train services, and accessible flights, ensures that you can easily hop between destinations. So, after soaking in the urban vibes of Zagreb, a short trip can land you amidst the distinct charm of Slovenia.

Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital, offers its own set of wonders with its unique blend of history and modernity. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Beyond the city, places like Lake Bled offer beautiful landscapes, while the Postojna Cave offers a glimpse into the natural wonders below the earth’s surface. If you’re in Zagreb and have a day to spare, taking this trip to discover the gems of Slovenia would be time well spent.

We had the most wonderful guide - Tine - we cannot recommend him highly enough. We were picked up near the train station in Venice at 9am promptly, and it was a smooth and beautiful drive into Slovenia. We had lunch at a delicious lake-side restaurant in Bled, then took a pletna over to Bled Island, where we had time to hike the trail around the perimeter and also do a complete tour of the beautiful little church and tower. Tine then whisked us to the other side of the lake for a tour of Bled Castle, the oldest in the country, which houses a small demonstration printing press and museum. In addition, our kids had seen the alpine slide at Straza Hill snaking down the mountain across the lake from the castle, and Tine fit it into the schedule as a surprise addition - such fun! He was so accommodating and kind. We were back in Venice for dinner just a little after 8. A fantastic introduction to Slovenia and we can't wait to return for a longer visit!

Nejc was our guide. He went out of his way to ensure we had an enjoyable day. Very knowledgeable guide. We visited Vintgar Gorge, Vogel by cable car, Triglaw NP, Savica Waterfall and Bohinj Lake where we also took a boat cruise. It was a fantastic day. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 on the tour and we did everything at our own pace. Nejc, thank you for a wonderful day, it was a pleasure spending time with you and getting to know you.
