Slovenia is a beautiful country but even a few months ago it wasn’t high on my radar. After visiting, I wish I had done so sooner. There’s so much nature, adrenaline activities, beautiful locations, and kind people. Most people visit Bled, as they should, but there’s so much more to see! We’ll go over the different cities you should visit in Slovenia.

Slovenia Cities
Ljubljana
Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, is a beautiful riverside city with a castle. It’s small, but I’d still recommend at least two full days to take it slow and really get a feel for the city. I’ve written a post with all the things to do when visiting Ljubljana.
Ljubljana highlights
- Ljubljana castle
- Metelkova street art
- Tivoli Park
- Dragon Bridge
- Ljubljana Guided Walking Tour and Funicular to Castle
Bled
Bled is really the star of Slovenia and is one of the mainly visited tourist spots. Its iconic lake with its island are the backdrop to many photos and definitely a spot on my list. You’ll definitely want to walk around as much as possible to take in all the views.
Bled highlights
- Bled castle
- Bled lake and island
- Transparent kayaking tour
- Mala Osojnica lookout point
- Vintgar Gorge and food tasting
- Bohinj Valley Canyoning Tour with Photos
Bovec
When I say my mouth dropped as I approached Bovec, I am not kidding. The whole area leading up to it was so beautiful with mountains and the clear river along parts of the drive. The views once in the city were also so pretty that I knew visiting this city was the right move.
Bovec highlights
- Soča river
- Učja Canyon (zip lining over canyon)
- Virje waterfall
- Adrenaline activities (zip lining, canyoning, kayaking, river rafting, paragliding)
Koper
Koper is the main city along the coast and has lots of narrow streets with shops and restaurants. There are historical sights to visit and a large port so you’ll see lots of large boats. There are beaches you can spend time at and easily get to Trieste in Italy. It’s a perfect place for a quick visit.
Koper highlights
- Praetorian Palace
- Koper Regional Museum
- Da Ponte Fountain
- Mary’s Cathedral Church and Tower
- Bus tour with Food Tastings
Piran
Located right on the Slovenian Riviera near the border of Croatia is the beautiful little seaside city of Piran. This city is full of little streets that are mainly accessible by foot and not car. You’ll be able to wander all around the inside of the city walls and watch the sunset along the water.
Piran highlights
- City walls and views
- Duomo di San Giorgio
- Our Lady of Health Church tower
- Beach along the city
- Walking Tour with Local Wine and Food Tasting
