Visit one of Europe’s most incredible and underrated lake destinations.

In the oft-forgotten country of Slovenia, there are many treasures to be found, including medieval architecture, scenic mountainous backdrops and incredible lakes, the most famous of which is Lake Bled. At the foot of the stunning Julian Alps, lies Lake Bled. And the beauty only continues with the surrounding forested slopes and the Baroque church lying in the middle of the lake. This resort town offers travellers a delightful range of things to do, including boating, walking, and dining.

Many travellers often remark on the still waters of the lake having an immense relaxing effect. You can also take in the views of Bled Castle, which looms over the town. During December, you can even stroll by the atmospheric stalls of the local Christmas market and attend Midnight Mass.
