Solo Female Travel in Slovenia

Ljubljana, Group travel

I spend an amazing week in Ljubljana, Slovenia with my friends. We explored the city, went to some bars, climbed to the castle. The atmosphere in the city is really cozy, it feels like a smaller version of Vienna:) People are super friendly, almost everyone knows English. I felt rather safe but I think it was also because I was never alone. So that might depend on if you're a solo traveler. Overall I really enjoyed the trip and definitely recommend visiting Ljubljana!

Slovenia was such a friendly place where even in the remote location we stayed which was 1600 metre up the mountain I felt safe. Local attractions such as the Savica waterfall was majestic and a good little hike to see it. I tried paragliding,, visited Lake bohinj and Lake Bled (my favourite). Stunning views and lots of excellent restaurants to suit varied tastes. The whole trip including accommodation, flights, food, trips, excursions and hire car was £3400.

Bled, Solo travel

I travelled there alone and it was really amazing ! It is a very crowded place in the summer but my stay still was relaxing and peacefull. I stayed at Pr Močn wich is a really small hostel that I really recommend. It's cheap, really close to the lake and it feels like home. I met so many nice people there ! The main attraction is the lake where you can do kayak, stand up paddle, a boat tour... You can go on the little island in the middle of the lake, where you can find a little church to visit and a really nice place to get ice cream. There are also a lot of hiking trail around there. So if you love nature and calm it's an amazing place to go !

Slovenia, Solo travel

Slovenia is by far one of the safest countries, especially for solo female travelers. Reason; well, basically barely anyone around and people leave each other alone, but will help you when you ask. I visited Ljubljana and went to an abandoned hotel, which was super cool. Then I went to Kranj, stayed in a hostel with view on nature and visited Lake bled!! You can walk through cities, but if you wanna visit other towns you should use Flixbus, Train or Arriva Bus. Super underrated country, nature was 10/10 and it is cheap

I traveled with my 2 other female friends and it was one of the safest places Ive ever been. The locals are so friendly and welcoming. You can walk in anytime of the day without any worries. Transportation is amazing. You can hire a bike all over the city and everywhere is a ride away. I highly recommend to experience the city without any worries

Slovenia, Solo travel

It’s a cozy and cheap but gorgeous version of Switzerland. Highly recommend spending a week of two to explore all regions by car or camper etc. People are mostly chill but not particularly cheerful or nice.

Bled, Solo travel

I visited Bled during corona time which meant the city was quite calm and tourist free, which might not be the case now. Nevertheless it’s a lovely small town to visit! I recommend to take the time to just stroll around the lake and admire the views to the mountains, lake. Take a hike up to Ojstrica mountain top to enjoy breathtaking views! If you have time, go and see Soteska Vintgar gorge. To gain back energy, pamper yourself with local sweet delicacy which is called kremsnita cake. All in all I felt very safe in Bled! Great for a solo day travel or spend some more days there.

I absolutely loved Slovenia (though we only were in Ljubljana and I can’t wait to see other parts of the country) People were super nice to us and I didn’t feel unsafe at all There is so many cute things to do in Ljubljana (can’t remember the name but there is a squatt that is so cool too)

It's the most amazing country I have been to yet! I felt so safe, the people were absolutely lovely 😍 The views were insane, the water was so blue! There was so much to see, and I just loved every minute of it 💗

Ljubljana, Couple travel

Ljubljana was the only place where I went and it felt like a home. The city is very beautiful and has a soul, people are kind, food is great, I recommend the place "Šeherzada" in the center of city. There you can get burger or kebab for 4-5€, big pizza is 8€, its really affordable and delicious. The city was quite expensive for me but I didn't spent that much, around 50-60€, I was there only for a day so can't recommend transport or place to stay ♡

Slovenia

Growing up here until the age of 20 Slovenia is generally safe, and I never in my life had a moment where I felt unsafe. Even after dark, it is okay for me to walk around although there is not many people around at night.

Ljubljana

It's a safe city. If you keep to the main streets at night, there is no much danger. Public transport is safe to use at any time. The only thing to avoid is groups of immigrants, which are becoming more frequent and they are not well adapted yet.

In Bled, don't miss the Vintgar Gorge, which has a path around it, so it's an easy walk and absolutely beautiful (the color of the water is astonishing!). Nearby is Lake Bohinj, which I think is more beautiful than Bled. You can simply take a bus there. You can also take a bus, or even better, join a day trip that goes through the Vršič Pass to Bovec and the Soča River, where there are plenty of "adventure" activities, such as zip lines, rafting, etc., as well as gentler walks to see the river and valley. The Vršič Pass itself is interesting and worth doing, even if you're not the adventurous type. It has 50 hairpin turns (24 uphill, 26 downhill), each with spectacular views and a charming chapel to visit (commemorating Russian prisoners who died building the road). One-day tours will certainly be available when you get to Bled.

Lake Bled is absolutely beautiful! You should also visit the Vintgar Gorge when you're there - it's located a few kilometers from Bled and is absolutely stunning. Also, Lake Bohinj is wonderful and much quieter than Bled, with a beautiful waterfall at the far end (Slap Savica). As for caves, Skocjan is very interesting, or you can go to Postojna and combine a cave tour with a trip to Predjama Castle (it was built in a cave and is amazing!). If you have time, take the bus through the mountains to Bovec, there are more gorges and outdoor activities there (for example, the longest zipline routes in Europe!). The Vrsic mountain pass offers amazing views and is worth visiting, even if you don't want to use the zipline!
