I highly recommend Slovenia. I felt very safe there. I stayed in Ljubljana for 3 nights, then rented a car and drove to Lake Bled, then Lake Bohinj, then Kranjska Gora, Bovec, down to Piran on the coast, and back to Ljubljana, with a lot of stops along the way. I met the kindest people and saw some of the most gorgeous nature. I can't wait to go back.

Solo travel experience

Slovenia was the perfect place for my first solo trip. It was safe, affordable, and easy to get around. I explored Ljubljana and Bled, and I went on a Viator day trip to Triglav National Park. I loved every moment in this beautiful country. There were plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and adventure, but I also spent a lot of time in cafes reading and trying delicious Slovenian wine.

Solo travel experience

I had an amazing experience on my first solo trip to Slovenia. The scenery was breathtaking, the cuisine was delicious, and I felt safe the entire time. It was especially fascinating to me since the country has gone through a lot of changes in the past few decades, having been passed between different countries, yet the Slovenian people have managed to preserve their language and culture. I was also able to explore some of the medieval castles, which I found to be quite enjoyable.

Solo travel experience

I liked Ljubljana a lot, but I loved being out near Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj, and I'd spend more time around either one if I got to go to Slovenia again. In the Bled area, the Ojstrica viewpoint above the lake is well worth the steep uphill hike. I also loved paddleboarding on the lake and taking a hike out to Vintgar Gorge. In Bohinj, paddleboarding again, and I also went paragliding and it was great.

Solo travel experience

I loved Slovenia. So many amazing spots. Ljubljana is such a pretty town and has great restaurants. I did a food/wine tour through Ljubljana while I was there and had a great time. Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj were both beautiful (Lake Bohinj is less touristy). The Soca Valley was incredible for hiking and rafting. I stayed at Nebesa which was pricey but incredible. I also stayed in the wine region of Brda which was beautiful and did a wine-tasting tour through Winestronaut which is the best wine-tasting experience I’ve ever had.

Solo travel experience

I went to Ljubljana in June. Public transport to Lake Bled was very easy. I also went to Vintner Gorge. There’s a walk up a hill with a fab vantage point of Lake Bled. I also went to Caves and a castle in a hill. People were lovely and felt very safe. I loved Slovenia!
