Costsaver: Hidden Slovenia - Small Group

Day 1 - Welcome to Ljubljana
Touch down in Slovenia and meet your Travel Director and fellow Small Group travelers. Your trip kicks off in Ljubljana — a laid-back capital that’s easy to explore on foot. Settle in, get your bearings and soak up the city's relaxed atmosphere, and maybe join your group for dinner if you’re keen to start your journey together while getting to know your fellow travelers.
Accommodations: B and B Hotel Ljubljana Park

Day 2 - Ljubljana
Ljubljana is ready to show off a little. Start with your Travel Director at Prešeren Square, cross the Triple Bridge and wander the Old Town before taking the funicular up to Ljubljana Castle for a look over the city. After that, the afternoon is yours. Head inside the castle and poke around its exhibitions, pick a museum that takes your fancy or jump on a boat and cruise the Ljubljanica River while the city drifts by. Culture, castle time or feet up on the water — you’ve got plenty of good ways to spend it.
Accommodations: B and B Hotel Ljubljana Park
Meals: Breakfast

Day 3 - Postojna & the Coast
It’s wheels rolling through Slovenia’s Karst countryside this morning, with rugged cliffs, forested slopes and caves hidden below. First up, a photostop at Predjama Castle, wedged dramatically into the rock face. Then head to Postojna Cave Park, where the choice is yours. Follow the Pivka River through the park, sit down to a lunch of local specialties or head underground on a cave tour in search of otherworldly rock formations and the curious olms that call them home. Later, roll into coastal Koper for an orientation around the harbourfront and historic center, where cafes, fishing boats and Adriatic views set a very different pace.
Accommodations: Hotel Vodisek
Meals: Breakfast

Day 4 - Piran- Gem of the Slovenian Coast
Explore Piran with your Travel Director on an orientation walk through its pretty harbor, narrow backstreets and Venetian-style squares. From there, the day’s yours. Climb up to St. George’s Church for coastline views, wander the old town, or head to the beach with a snack in hand. Back in Koper, take a relaxed walk along the local beach. Your Travel Director knows the best spots to catch the sunset — no crowds, just great views across the sparkling Adriatic coastline. When hunger hits, Koper’s restaurants deliver. Go fresh and local with grilled seafood or take your pick from casual spots with Adriatic flair.
Accommodations: Hotel Vodisek
Meals: Breakfast

Day 5 - Vipava Valley - Bled Region
Roll through the Vipava Valley, where green hills, rivers and vineyard views set the scene. Stop in the winemaking village of Goce for an orientation walk through quiet stone lanes and crumbling courtyards. It’s the kind of place most travelers miss — but not you. Time to taste what this valley does best, with a visit to a local family-run winery. Expect homegrown hospitality, regional wines and a bite of something delicious. The good stuff, without the fuss. Then it’s back on the road, with the Alpine foothills unfolding as you approach the Bled region. Big skies, fresh air and a serious change of scenery. Slovenia’s about to show off again.
Accommodations: Savica Hotel Bled
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 6 - Lake Bled
Get your bearings around Lake Bled with your Travel Director. Walk the lakeside promenade, pass grand 19th-century villas and take in views of Vila Bled — once the summer residence of Yugoslav leader Tito. You’ll also get a look at Bled Castle, perched high above the water, keeping watch over the town below. How you spend your day is up to you. Pull up a chair at a lakeside cafe, wander the forest trails or tuck into a slice of Bled cream cake with zero regrets. Feeling adventurous? There’s a Choice Experience to hop aboard a traditional pletna boat to Bled Island with big views guaranteed.
Accommodations: Savica Hotel Bled
Meals: Breakfast

Day 7 - Kamnik & Maribor
Take the scenic route across northern Slovenia, where mountain views give way to vineyard-covered hills. Stop in Kamnik — one of Slovenia’s oldest towns — for an orientation walk with your Travel Director. Wander along Šutna Street past colorful facades and old churches, then grab a coffee or gelato in the main square and watch the locals go about their day. In Maribor, explore Slovenia’s second-largest city with another orientation walk. You’ll pass through the old town, the riverside Lent district and see the bridges over the Drava River. Stop by the Old Vine House — home to the oldest grape vine in the world. Want to taste what it still produces? Join a Choice Experience wine tasting right on site.
Accommodations: B&B Hotel Maribor
Meals: Breakfast

Day 8 - Ptuj - Ljubljana
Ptuj may be Slovenia’s oldest recorded town, but it’s got plenty of life in it. Follow the Drava south, then hit the medieval streets with your Travel Director while Ptuj Castle keeps watch from the hill. Free time means one thing: your call. Poke around the old quarter or climb up to the castle for the views. Back in Ljubljana, squeeze in a final wander, souvenir hunt or a slice of prekmurska gibanica. Still not done? Finish strong with a Choice Experience through the city, mixing craft beer, local wine and foodie stops into one very tasty farewell.
Accommodations: B and B Hotel Ljubljana Park
Meals: Breakfast

Day 9 - Depart Ljubljana

Maribor

Bled

Bled became an independent, self-governing municipality in 1995. Its natural beauty, points of interest, and advantageous location south of the Alps, make Bled ideal for tourism. The castle, the lake, and the island in the middle of the lake are sights by which Bled is known world-wide. Bled Castle, a silent witness to its former power, stands watch over the town perched on a rock high above the lake. Lake Bled is renowned for exceptional beauty. The forested slopes of the Jelovica and Pokljuka, the Julian Alps with their highest peak Triglav - the simbol of the Slovenian nation - and the Karavanke Mountains, serve as the background to this heavenly spot. In the middle of the lake lies the island with the Church of the Assumption - both of which have a rich history. Inside the church there is the wishing bell from 1534. Bled and its surroundings provide a number of interesting sights worth a visit.

Ljubljana

This charming, inexpensive city with its relaxed pace, active cafe life and fondness for poets could be "the next Prague" with its own distinctive character. Several remaining structures show Roman and Baroque influences. The heart of the city lies on both sides of the Ljubljanica River. Over time, architects have used the Ljubljanica as an opportunity to build a handful of tasteful bridges. On one side of the river are the narrow cobblestone streets of the old town, which sits in the shadow of Ljubljana Castle. On the other side of the Ljubljanica is Tivoli castle, a graphic arts center, and the main shopping streets, lined by graceful art-nouveau buildings. The ultramodern Cultural and Congress Center, near the neo-rococo Opera House, is the setting for cultural performances. Worth seeing are the Franciscan Church and the Baroque town hall, with its monumental fountain. Hike to the top of 3,600-ft Mt. Katarina from Ljubljana. A trail begins in the suburb of Podutik before winding through spruce forests and up to a small church at the mountain's peak.
