Our excursion around Ljubljana is a bespoke experience exclusively for Radiology International that you won’t find in any of the guidebooks. Our first stop is Lake Bled which has been considered a world-renowned paradise for centuries, impressing visitors with its natural beauty, wealth of legend and special powers to restore well-being. The tour takes in key monuments that give insight into the city's rich history before you venture on to see the glacial Lake Bled, fed by hot springs, which has been included on the list of candidates for the new seven Wonders of the World. You will be transported to the country's only island in pletnas, traditional wooden boats, which are operated by a single rower, to the Bled Island in the middle of the lake. Here you will have the option to climb 99 stone steps to reach the Assumption of Mary Church, which dates back to 1655. Legend has it that if you make your wish when you ring the bell, it will come true. Before we continue on to Ljubljana, you will enjoy kremšnita, the traditional Bled cream cake. Next we travel 1 hour to Ljubljana, the Dragon City, because of the many dragons used as protection on monuments and decorations. We will first stop for lunch, where we will visit some of the city's most striking Baroque monuments and sites, including Ljubljana Castle. The castle was built in the 15th century and stands atop a hill above the historic old center of Ljublana. This mighty medieval fortress has served as military housing, as well as the royal residence for several centuries. You will have some leisure time to stroll along the river and explore the many shops and cafes, before returning to the hotel. ** Please wear comfortable walking shoes for this day trip.
