About the trip

This five-night Riviera Travel solo escorted tour offers a paced introduction to Slovenia, beginning in the capital, Ljubljana. A local guide introduces the pedestrian-friendly Old Town, with its Venetian Gothic town hall, the river winding past Castle Hill, and the layers of history evident in St Nicholas’ Church. The afternoon is left free to roam; the dragon-adorned bridges and the market stalls designed by Jože Plecnik make for a pleasant wander.

The itinerary moves to the coastal town of Piran, where alleyways frame a marble-paved square once used as a harbour, reflecting Venice’s influence. Nearby Lipica is home to the Lipizzaner horses, and the afternoon includes a riding performance and farm tour. Later days visit Ptuj, Slovenia’s oldest town, then Maribor, where the world’s oldest fruitful vine grows alongside Renaissance architecture, followed by a wine tasting.

The trip ends with Lake Bled, where a rowing boat takes visitors to the tiny island with its 15th-century church, framed by the Julian Alps. The local Bled cream cake is given its due attention, accompanied by views of the glassy water and the medieval castle perched on a cliff above. Mornings start early, and some days involve a fair amount of walking.
