26 days in Upper Carniola Region Itinerary

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

Popular historic sites such as Franciscan Church of the Annunciation and Cathedral of St. Nicholas are in your itinerary. Step out of the city life by going to Triglav National Park and Mala Osojnica. Explore Ljubljana's surroundings by going to Bled (St. Martin's Parish Church, Zipline, &more), Žirovnica (Church of St. Martin, Cerkev sv. Radegunde na Bregu, &more) and The Devil's Bridge (in Škofja Loka). Spend the 20th (Tue) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. Dedicate the 22nd (Thu) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's still lots to do: get to know the fascinating history of Cankarjevo Nabrežje, fly like a bird with a parasailing or paragliding tour, take an in-depth tour of National Museum of Contemporary History, and take in the awesome beauty at Velika Planina.
