8 days in Kranj Itinerary

The capital of Slovenia's Alps, Kranj allows you to stand with one foot in the nature and another in a town that's both a cultural center and a base for outdoor activities.

Change things up with these side-trips from Kranj: Šmartno (in Kojsko), Nova Gorica (Stazione Transalpina, Kromberk Castle, &more) and Solkan (Solkan Bridge & Sveta Gora (Holy Mountain)). There's much more to do: do a tasting at Lepa Vida Boutique Winery, take an in-depth tour of Škofja Loka Castle, get into the urban bustle at Layer House, and steep yourself in history at Anthony's Shaft Mining Museum.
