Romania is increasingly on the tourist radar due to the many fascinating attractions that cities like Ljubljana have to offer. For those who want to experience the culture, see stunning architecture and enjoy laidback vibes, the Romanian capital is the perfect place to go. Although the city itself is easily accessible on foot, to really get the most out of your stay you should arrange car rental in Ljubljana. This will allow you to get out and about to see more of the surrounding area, which is rich in attractions and sights.
With a car rental in Ljubljana, you'll be able to leave the capital on a day trip to Lake Bled. This fairytale destination is a town which features a church right in the centre of a lake. You can get a stunning view of the island, lake and surrounding mountain peaks from Bled Castle. Dating back to the 12th century, the castle is home to a museum and the castle printing works as well as a cellar where you're able to bottle your own wine then seal its bottle using wax. During the summer months, you could even see archery displays here.
Head out into the countryside in the Smarna Gora park, just 10km outside the city. Bringing wilderness into the suburbs, this park is over 660m above sea-level and boasts plenty of hiking trails which allow you to get up to the summits of both its twin humps easily.
You should also visit Vintgar Gorge, which lies close to the beautiful Lake Bled. Exceptionally beautiful, this gorge has been attracting visitors since the 19th century thanks to its unique flora and stunning natural sights. Explore the viewing galleries and wooden bridges as they take you down the 1.6km gorge to discover the pools, cascades and waterfalls as well as the former single-arch, stone railway bridge which towers above you.
While you're exploring the area around Ljubljana, you should take the time to go to Mount Triglav. This is Slovenia's highest mountain which affords several climbing trails to suit all abilities. Whether you're keen to push yourself to the limit or take a gentle hike, you'll be able to reach the summit and admire the spectacular panoramic vistas.
