Slovenia is an increasingly popular tourist destination for European holidaymakers and those from beyond the continent. Its stunning mountain scenery compares favorably even with neighboring countries such as Austria, Hungary, and Croatia, and perhaps the shining star of this up-and-coming country is the lakeside town of Bled. There truly is something here to suit all holidaymakers. Active voyagers will enjoy its challenging but manageable ski slopes in winter, and magnificent hiking in warmer months. Gourmet trippers will appreciate the chance to sample its famous Kremsnita pastries along with a warming coffee.
For romantics, there is perhaps nothing in Europe to beat the magical Lake Bled, with its island in the middle that houses a church with 99 steps. Tradition dictates that lovestruck grooms who come here for the increasingly popular destination weddings should carry their brides to the top of those steps after marrying. However, it’s not compulsory!
Of course, you might just want to come to relax, do a little sight-seeing and enjoy the natural wonder that is Bled; if you do, then rest assured there is plenty here for you. Along with charming scenery, wonderful day-trips and a lot of fine food, there are also excellent accommodations to be had. Families, couples and singles alike will find something in the following list that suits them.
1. A quiet, rustic room for 66 USD per night
