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!

I spent 4 days in Slovenia with two of my girls friends and such a safe place to be at! We went to Bled, Ljubljana (had an airbnb right by the dragon bridge by the bars super nice), did Vintgar gorge next to it - super pretty, and went to Soča Valley. It's absolutely incredible! Lake Bohinj was also very nice.
Slovenia is probably my overall favorite country to visit! Prices are reasonable, good food, amazing scenery, flowers everywhere and really nice people! I have stayed in Bled many times because I like all the options for adventure sports.
Lake Bled is absolutely beautiful! You should also visit Vintgar gorge whilst you are there, it is a couple of kilometers from Bled, and is absolutely stunning. Also Lake Bohinj is wonderful, and much quieter than Bled, with a gorgeous waterfall at the far end (Slap Savica). For caves Skocjan is very interesting, or you could go to Postojna and combine the cave tour with a tour of Predjama castle (it is built in a cave, and is fabulous!). If you have time, get a bus over the mountains to Bovec, there are more gorges and adventure activities there (Europe's longest zipline course for one!). The Vrsic mountain pass has incredible views, and is worth doing, even if you don't want to zipline!
I spent 2 days in Slovenia (one in Ljubljana and one in Bled). I have to say that Lake Bled is a must-see and I loved the views. Everyone seems to be speaking English which is very convenient, there are some random homeless people (with most of them being drug addicts unfortunately) but locals are very friendly.
I was there over easter and I'm absolutely in love with the country. I spent 2 days in Bled + Vintgar, and another 2 days in Ljublijana. I think this was a fair amount of time to see the basics but unfortunately I did not have time for Predjama Castle, which I regret deeply. In Bled I stayed at Garden House hostel - really nice ambiance, lovely staff, super clean and good location. In Ljubliana I stayed in hostel Tresor. I found Bled a bit expensive for food and all. Ljubliana was more reasonable and much better on this aspect - lots of cool cafes and restaurants.
