Itinerary
Welcome to Ljubljana! Upon arrival, your driver will take you from the airport to your hotel. Once you've checked in and freshened up, you can expect a fun bike ride in the city with a picnic and a local guide. Ljubljana is incredible to explore on wheels! The main advantage of exploring the lively capital on two wheels is the ability to see interesting places outside of the pedestrian city center, such as the beautiful Ljubljanica River embankments, abandoned military objects and beautifully arranged lush green park areas. You'll access the main attractions and it's a unique opportunity to discover a wider area with all the cozy local stops.
Cruise through the city’s hidden narrow streets, stop to see the major attractions and explore the Roman remains and architectural wonders scattered all over the city. Visit some of the most interesting districts of Ljubljana and have fun discovering different vibes as you wander the paths that only locals know about. And the cherry on top? A relaxing and well-deserved picnic under the trees just a few steps from the vibrant streets of the old town!
