Ljubljana City Add-On

This was our 26th Inntravel holiday, and one of the best. Slovenia is beautiful, the scenery's magnificent, the rivers are crystal clear with exciting gorges to explore, well maintained paths. Slovenians are the friendliest people, and they all show tremendous pride in their country. Everywhere's amazingly clean and tidy, no litter anywhere, and all the verges and gardens beautifully kept. The food is Eastern European, being meat and potato focussed, but at every place there were excellent fish and seafood options: fat mussels and clams, and the river trout was outstandingly tasty. Another surprise was the excellence of the local wines. Both Ljubljana and Lake Bled are perfect Inntravel destinations, visually stunning with lots to see and do. Both were quite busy even in mid September, but a 5 minute walk soon left the people behind. Finally, we tailored our holiday, and Inntravel sorted it out without fuss and it all worked perfectly. Thank you for another terrific experience.

This is a truly excellent way to explore a beautiful country and the glorious Julian Alps. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this holiday, with reservations around the quality of some of the hotels and the lack of pre-arranged meals. 

This was another great holiday with Inntravel.  Slovenia is a friendly, clean and beautiful place and with out a doubt some of the most dramatic and picturesque landscapes we have encountered. We loved the accommodation and the food was excellent. We had some lovely encounters with staff at the hotels especially Barbara at Apartment Rozle. All the transfers went well and the walking notes as usual were excellent. So would recommend this holiday especially with the Ljubljana add on.

We thoroughly reccommend the 11 day holiday for the variety of landscapes walked through. You provide a good mix of varied accommodation, and all included meals were excellent.

We tried as many of the local and other Slovenian wines as we could, which were all very drinkable.

At Martinov Hram in Bovec, and Rozic Penzion in Ribcev Laz we had excellent local meals, reasonably priced.

We were pleased to travel by train and therefore avoid flying. Inntravel staff were helpful and knowledgeable about rail options. We had three great centres for walking combining lakes and mountains - look out for the great mountain hut inns serving lovely cakes and dumplings. We added on two days in Ljubljana which we highly recommend, especially lunch at Barbarella (vegan), Tivoli gardens and the Museum of Modern Art. Apart from Ljubljana we found that many of the small shops and cafes only accepted cash. We were made to feel welcome everywhere and everyone speaks great English. 

Slovenia is a hidden gem and I do not think there is a better way to explore it's natural wonders than through walking The Soca Valley and Lakes and Julian Alps.  Beginning with Ljublljana is a must, as it is without doubt a beautiful city, no cars allowed in the old city and full of restaurants and atmosphere.  From beginning to end, Slovenia was totally relaxing and peaceful, a 'green' paradise with so much to explore, a wonderful surprise if you value the outdoors!

Slovenia is a beautiful and friendly country.  We enjoyed walks through rural villages full of traditional houses, barns, flowers, and gardens; we enjoyed walks through limestone gorges with rushing water and beside very blue lakes; we enjoyed walks with high mountain peaks and forests all around. Everywhere there were wildflowers! The loop from Kranjska Gora via Koca v Krnici, the transit hike from Kranjska Gora into Ribcev Laz, and the Mostnica Gorge hike stand our for us. The Add-on of Ljubljana at the beginning of the holiday was well worth the extra days, as were the extra days added in Ribcev Laz and Bled.  We appreciated having 3 days in each location.

INNTRAVEL NOTE: This customer did our walking holiday 'The Lakes & Julian Alps' alongside our city add-on in Ljubljana.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lakes and Julian Alps in Slovenia. The destination was wonderful and the people very friendly and relaxed. We did 6 days of walking back-to-back and probably should have taken an extra day somewhere to break it up - we were very weary by the end.

Definitely recommend the add-on of Ljubljana - castle, visit, riverboat trip and wine-tasting all absolute musts!

HIGHLIGHTS: Very good evening meals in relaxing surroundings at Restaurant Lipa in Kranjska Gora. The walk round the northern shoreline of Lake Bohinj from Ribcev Laz to Ukanc and the return by boat. A glass or two of wine sitting on the terrace of Hotel Vila Bled overlooking the lake with its castle and the island. In Ljubljana, our stay at the Pension Slamic, in particular our musical evening there and our leisurely strolls around the streets of the old city down by the river.
