The highlight of my visit was the breathtaking view from the castle's windows, which overlook the picturesque valley and the surrounding forests. It's a view that feels straight out of a storybook.
Predjama Castle is not only a testament to human creativity but also a testament to nature's beauty. The adjacent Postojna Cave adds to the enchantment, creating a unique and unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Slovenia.#slovenia #predjama #postojna

Lovely Ljubljana!
A hidden gem! Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and not a place I had heard much about until I started travelling Europe. On Friday’s there is a market held beside the town’s centre which features all the top restaurants in the city. Try out some Štruklji, a delicious Slovenian sweet dumpling or go for a Pad Thai. Wonder along the river and you’ll find fabulous eateries and great places overlooking the river to grab a drink. On weekends catch a bus to the stunning Lake Bled for half the price of weekdays. Here you will be mesmerised by the beauty of the lake and the town and alps surrounded. Can’t wait to return.

Ljubljana the green river city
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Easily accessible by bus or car from the airport. The see is the beautiful, small center of the city, with the green river and a hill with the castle in the middle. All of tye good hotels are walking distance in the center. During the day and evening you can enjoy sitting by the river and eating local or other European food. There are no cars allowed in the city center so the walks are very enjoyable. #ljubljana #slovenia #oldtown
Venetian architecture in Slovenia
#urbanexplorer #tripblazers #slovenia
Did you know that you can hop from Italy, to Slovenia to Croatia in a couple of days? We took a bus from Trieste to the beautiful seaside town of Koper.
Koper is one of three costal towns in an otherwise landlocked Slovenia. It’s history is amazing which you can see in the cartography of old maps and the Venetian style buildings that have been preserved since it’s most prosperous period.
Visit the Praetorian palace and the old clock tower for an amazing view of the city.

Road trip through Slovenian Alps
The gigantic Lake Bled is perhaps the most beautiful place in Slovenia. Do a road trip with the Nissan X-Trail for example and discover the pine trees and cliffs. You can take phenomenal photos of the blue-green water surface all year round. In the background are the Julian Alps. A real eye-catcher is the island in the middle of the lake with a beautiful church. On the banks, the castle of Bled will attract attention.
In the middle of the Slovenian Alps, nature is given free rein. The impressive Lake Bohinj proves that. This green oasis is hidden between the imposing mountains and treats you to one overwhelming view after another. You discover the valley on foot, by bike or on horseback.

A place to showcase Venetian Architecture! ❤️
Koper --- the fifth largest city in Slovenia. It's one of the two beautiful coastal towns along with Piran! Koper is small but it's narrow, botique-lined streets anf historical sites.
It is worth a quick visit! ❤️❤️❤️

360 view @bled
As I gazed out at the horizon, I couldn't help but be amazed by the beauty of nature. Although I initially planned to wait for the sunrise, the view was breathtaking. The lake before me looked like a perfect mirror reflection, with every detail of the surroundings reflected onto its surface. The moment's tranquility made me appreciate the simple things in life and feel grateful for being able to witness such a magical sight.
