Trip Report
Sleepless in Slovenia
Lakes and castles, sleepless travel and sleepy towns.
+ 18
Highs & Lows
Everything surrounding Lake Bled, fairytale stuff.
Arriving too early to check in anywhere after taking the night train. A nap was sorely in order.
Q & A
What would you have changed?
I wouldn’t have booked more than one night in Ljubljana. There isn’t enough to do and I’d have preferred to stay near lake bled
Anything go wrong during the trip?
I couldn’t check in to a hotel until the afternoon. Make sure you get some sleep before arriving on the night bus/train.
How was the food?
The food was good but avoid the coffee like the plague. After Italy the quality difference was incredible and I felt like I was drinking liquid fart. Avoid.
What tips would you give a friend?
Just people watch near the place where it’s always raining. I think that’s where the fun is.
Packing tips?
A light rain jacket is all you’ll need to. Pack light.
Transportation Tips?
Ubers and taxis in Slovenia are incredibly cheap. Don’t hesitate to get one if a bus doesn’t turn up.... which is a regular occurrence .
Any surprises?
Lake Bled happened really by accident. I walked up over a hill and discovered it. I was in shock and needed to sit down to take in the beauty.
Booking details?
Hostelworld is an incredible resource.
Lodging
Hostel 24. Great price but very basic. Staff are wonderful though.
Vacant university dorms. These can be a super cheap way of travelling during summer holidays.
