When my husband and I went to Zagreb, Croatia, we decided to take a day trip to Slovenia\u00a0to see some of the highlights of the country. Slovenia is so tiny (about the size of New Jersey!) that we were actually able to see quite a bit in just a day! We hired a tour guide<\/a>\u00a0from Zagreb and took off early one morning. We were incredibly impressed by the small country, which is full of beauty and culture. Here are the highlights of our experience:<\/p>\n Ljubljana<\/strong>: Slovenia\u2019s capital is an incredibly beautiful city, with a blend of art nouveau and neoclassical architecture. A river runs through city, dividing the financial\/business district and the old town. The charming old town is the place to visit, with churches, cafes, and cultural sites throughout the area. Wander the streets, visit a caf\u00e9, and admire the architecture. The symbol of the city is a dragon, which you will see throughout the city, representing strength and courage.<\/p>\n Lake Bled<\/strong>: After visiting Ljubljana we went to Lake Bled, which is one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever had the opportunity to visit. The town surrounding the lake is called Bled, and it is the perfect place to spend a night or two and enjoy all that the lake has to offer. Go for long walks, rent a canoe, and dine by the waterfront.<\/p>\n There are three activities that you must experience, even if you go just for a day trip to Slovenia:<\/p>\n The Verdict:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>A day trip to\u00a0Slovenia is a must! It’s a charming, wonderful country that is worth a day trip, weekend away, or even a week-long vacation.<\/p>\n<\/a>
