Boat tours
At the Ljubljana Tourist Information Centre (TIC) you can purchase tickets for boat cruises that ply the Ljubljanica river, offering trips with commentary on the main sights by day and ‘romantic’ voyages at night. The cruises run from a small pier by Old Town and take in the stretch of river from the Dragon Bridge through to the suburb of Trnovo.

Ljubljana excursions
Škofja Loka
A half hour's drive west of Ljubljana lies Škofja Loka, a charming town with a well-preserved Old Town. Here you will find English information plaques and a revamped historical castle museum. The most interesting streets are the rectangular ‘squares' of Mestni trg, Cankarjev trg and Spodnji trg.

Lake Bled
This 14,000-year-old alpine lake, an hour's drive northwest of Ljubljana, is simply stunning – a glacial lake fringed by pine trees and vaulting peaks all around. It may bustle with tourists for much of the year, but on a serene morning when the mist clears and the alpine peaks reflect across the water, it is hard not to be spellbound by magical Bled.
