A day from Ljubljana

Day trips from Ljubljana

Slovenia is small and Ljubljana is right in the middle: in under two hours you can reach the Alpine lakes of Bled and Bohinj, the Postojna and Škocjan caves or the coast at Piran, so it is easy to see the whole country without changing hotels.

Frequently asked questions

What day trips can you take from Ljubljana?

Lakes Bled and Bohinj, Kranjska Gora and the Julian Alps, the Postojna and Škocjan caves and the coast at Piran.

Can you see Bled and Bohinj on the same day?

Yes: they are half an hour apart, and from Ljubljana you can see both in a day.

Postojna or Škocjan?

Postojna is more accessible, partly visited by train, and combines with Predjama Castle; Škocjan is wilder, with its underground canyon. Both are on the way to the coast.
