We will also be visiting Ljubljana Castle, a mighty fort overlooking the city, which offers a breathtaking view not only of Ljubljana but also of the Alps in the north. Ljubljana is also known as a mecca for foodies, so we recommend trying some traditional cuisine in your free time.
In the morning we will depart from Ljubljana and visit one of the most remarkable regions of Slovenia. We will dive deep into the astonishing Škocjan caves, listed on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage sites, where we will explore the biggest underground canyon in the world
A trip to Slovenian Karst is not complete without a visit to the famous Lipica stud farm, where the magnificent white Lipizzaner horses have been bred since 1580. After an eventful day, our group will depart for the beautiful seaside where you’ll have some free time in the evening to explore.
Make sure to put on some sunscreen and grab your sunglasses when visiting the sunny and warm Slovenian Coast. The famous old town of Piran will charm you with its well-preserved ancient town walls and the narrow streets with countless stories to tell.
Prepare to be amazed when visiting the Sečovlje salt pans, which are one of the last remaining salt pans in the Mediterranean that still maintain the 700-year-old tradition of producing salt by hand. In the evening you can catch a romantic sunset on the beach or try some fresh seafood in one of the many restaurants on the coast.
After one last breakfast with a view of the dreamy Adriatic, we will visit the Vipava Valley wine region. One of the oldest settlements in Karst is Štanjel, from where we will enjoy the panoramic views that can make anyone a professional photographer. For all the wine lovers we will arrange a visit to winemakers in both Goriška Brda and Vipava Valley, taking a peek at their wine cellars and enjoying the fruits of their labor. In good spirits, we will arrive at our stay in Goriška Brda where you can reward yourself with a glass of local wine and try the famous Karst prosciutto or simply enjoy the stunning views over countless vineyards and hilltop villages.
In the morning, a scenic bus ride will take us to the mountain town of Bovec, surrounded by the mighty peaks of the Julian Alps. In this pristine alpine valley, we will explore the beautiful Tolmin Gorge and hike a magical trail alongside the Soča River to the scenic Kozjak Waterfall near Kobarid. At the end of the trail, there is a small wooden viewing platform where you can take some amazing photos. The area of Kobarid is also famous for its history, which you will get to know more about after a visit to the famous Kobarid WW1 museum. In the afternoon you can enjoy some free time in Bovec, relax and get ready for the next day.

After we depart from the adrenaline capital of Slovenia, we will drive up the spectacular road leading over the Vršič Pass, and take numerous photo stops to capture attractions like the stone face of the “Pagan Girl” and the wooden Russian Chapel.
