Lake Bled is one of the most iconic places in Slovenia, with a fairytale island in the middle of the lake and a castle perched on a cliff above. You can take a traditional wooden pletna boat out to the island to visit the church, or just walk around the lake and take in the views. It’s a mix of natural beauty and historic charm, and would make a great home base to explore other parts of Slovenia like Triglav National Park and Lake Bohinj. While you're there, make sure to try a slice of the famous Bled cream cake!
