15 days in Ljubljana & Central Slovenia Itinerary

Sitting astride the Ljubljanica River, Ljubljana is marked with picturesque bridges and a marketplace, designed by the famous architect Jože Plečnik.

Venture out of the city with trips to Kolpa River (in Metlika), Škofja Loka (Church of St. John the Baptist - Zupnijska cerkev sv. Janeza Krstnika, Škofja Loka Castle, &more) and Krokar Primeval Forest (in Kočevje). Spend the 20th (Wed) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. Dedicate the 25th (Mon) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's much more to do: take a stroll through Ljubljana Old Town, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Cathedral of St. Nicholas, make a trip to Ljubljana Castle, and test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms.
