Overview

This small-group half-day bus tour from Ljubljana visits Lake Bled and its main attractions. The tour begins with a drive to Bled Castle, which stands on a cliff overlooking the lake. Visitors can explore the castle museum and see several viewpoints offering wide views of Lake Bled. Next, the tour includes a traditional pletna boat ride to Bled Island. The pletna is a unique boat operated by a single rower with two long oars. Guests have about an hour on the island to walk around and can optionally visit the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and ring the wishing bell dating back to 1534. The tour also allows time for a short walk along Lake Bled’s shore, where guests can observe swans and ducks or rest at a café to try kremšnita, a local cream cake specialty. The entire trip lasts about four and a half hours and includes transport by air-conditioned minivan and an English-speaking guide. The pletna boat ride and all admission fees are not included in the price.
