5. 1. Ljubljana
• The capital.
• Big city life with the small town hassle.
• It has everything you might expect and it's in the palm of
your hand; galleries, museums, ancient building, Roman
ruins...
• Beautiful city center, with the famous bridge and the lovely
river flowing leisurely underneath it.
• Best time for a visit is on a Saturday morning; go to the
market, follow it with a cup of coffee right on the river bank.
Enjoy the sun, crowds of people and the beautiful views of
the cathedral and the castle perched on top of the hill.

7. 2. Piran
• One of the towns on the Slovenian infamous coast.
• For a break from the often too foggy and cold Ljubljana,
enjoy the sun that seems to always shine in Piran.
• The smell of the sea in the small harbor, the narrow streets,
squares and the architecture will make you feel as if you've
stumbled into one of the towns in Italy.
• The beautiful church set on the hill, offers beautiful views of
the town and the bay.

9. 3. Bled
• The place dreams are made of.
• Mountain peaks surrounding an Alpine lake with an island
right smack in the middle of it. To top it all the islands has a
church with a bell tower. The legend has it that by ringing
the bell and making a wish, it will come true.
• With a castle high on the rock overlooking the lake the
fairytale setting is complete.
