Introducing Bled
With its emerald-green lake, picture-postcard island church, cliff-topping medieval castle and its mountain backdrop, Bled is Slovenia’s most popular resort and its biggest tourist money-spinner. Not surprisingly, it can be overpriced and swarming with tourists.

But as is the case with many popular destinations around the world, people come in droves – and will continue to do so – because the place is special. On a clear day you can make out Mt Stol (2236m) and Slovenia’s highest peak, Mt Triglav (2864m), in the distance – and then the bells start ringing from the belfry of the little island church. You should visit Bled at least once. It’s quite simply magical.
