Lake Bled Travel Guide | Day Trip from Ljubljana, Slovenia

[@notpiazea]

If coming to Slovenia I advise you to just rent a car. It is pretty affordable and you don't have to rely on our public transport + it only takes about 4 hours to drive from one side of the country to the other. Love from Ljubljana❤

[@samuelandaudrey]

Great great tip!

[@bhaswatiroychoudhury4212]

Good Advice at the end. Thanks. I’m planning to visit Ljubljana in February 2023

[@BillGreenAZ]

Audrey: "Food, it's our #1 priority". Sam: "It's always our #1 priority." I love it!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hahahaha...it is good we're on the same page ;)

[@AndyGlavac]

another great video from the 2 of you. I love how you eat and drink and have fun . We will be making this trip in October 2020

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Andy! That should be a fantastic time to visit.

[@serbianguard0019]

Me too. It's beautiful place. Been there last winter , it was snowing ... 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@HPN2012]

Audrey, Sam, thank you again for your wonderful videos and that advice on leaving at the end. We were thinking of visiting Prague and Croatia (watched your videos on Dubrovnik and Split), but this video makes me want to add Lake Bled to our trip. What is it with Sam and his moustache, he kept growing it and shaving it. I swear, in one video he started out without one and at the end, had a full one! Hahaha!

[@samuelandaudrey]

LOL! Thank yoU! Ah, the mysterious mustache ;) That sounds like a great addition.

[@Didafarah89]

I can’t wait to go to Europe September. I’ll go there October by the grace of god

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hope you can Dida! Åll the best.

[@angeladias2938]

Back from Ljubljana 3 weeks ago, and bummed that I remembered to leave Lake Bled early enough and eat the Kremsnita . which was so delicious.. but didnt remember your recommendation for the restaurant where you had lunch. Since we did the Vintgar hike in the morning, we which was amazing and climbed up to the castle... we were too knackered to do the hike around the lake. All in all it was a day to remember. On the whole we loved Slovenia, such a charming place with wonderful people. And the Postjona caves were just surreal. Recommend those to anyone visiting Slovenia, either those or the Skocjan.

[@melissatravellover6477]

I am a Travel Agent and ex- Qantas Flight Attendant from Brisbane, Australia! Love watching your videos and have been waiting tonight for you to release this latest video, I have watched every single video of yours! xxxx

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We really appreciate it :) Where did you used to fly with Qantas? :)

[@aimzee]

That was a great advice at the end of your video about transportation. I love knowing things like that before I travel to a new place, so thanks! Also the smooch from Sam was so heart warming! You guys are awesome!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Ah, thank you! Yeah, it was rather unpleasant at the end and we just wanted to let people know.

[@yusufxa2414]

THank you very much! We highly recommending visiting here.

Thank you very much! Hope you can visit soon.

[@sartassa2202]

Even through Slovenia is one of Austria's neighboring countries, I have never made it there. Right now I'm about to plan our camping trip for this summer and I got to say your videos are really helping a lot.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! That is awesome to hear. Any ideas where you'd like to go first?

[@sartassa2202]

Right now I'm thinking a couple of days in the mountains close to Lake Bohinj which is supposed to be less touristy than Bled. Then a day trip to Lubljana and a few days to see the caves and seaside. Luckily I'm not too far to visit again sometime soon.

[@susanduquette477]

Excellent video,Lake Bled looks beautiful,I would love to visit there.I enjoyed the two of you so much in this video,your personalities were shining through and it had me laughing and smiling at you both.Take care.😀🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! I think we were really relaxed and silly that day. It was just a great outing :)

[@beckycillis4703]

We went 5 years ago and had planned to take a bus too. Since there were 4 of us a taxi was cost effective and saved much time. We stayed overnight and our host drove us to the train station which eventually got us back to Italy with our pre purchased tickets. We would love to return and explore Ljubljana!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Becky! Sounds like a great experience and thanks for sharing the transportation tip.

[@fennyandeisa968]

I love your vlog. Thanks Audrey and Sam

Thanks Fenny!

Very informative video . Thanks a lot !! and beautiful cinematography :)

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much Agnika!

[@ThatOneSandwichGuy]

Didn't even know Slovenia had a lake you learn something everyday.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! Apparently there are some scenic and even less touristy places to visit. We'd love to go back and explore more.

[@klekos6915]

Bailey20 Of course Slovenia has lakes but Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj are the most famous www.google.si/search?q=slovenia+lakes&rlz=1C1NDCM_slSI745SI745&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwil5b2e3KrYAhUMY1AKHc1wDBcQ_AUICSgA&biw=1280&bih=615&dpr=1.25 List of lakes of Slovenia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_of_Slovenia

[@mylonash7136]

Holy Moses! What is up with Samuel? From the vanity of camera angles to puckering up his lips for a smooch due to the "swan of love" this one was hoot! Lake Bled looks like a wonderful spot to visit. Slovenia is such a great country and culture. The people are some of the best people in the world. Couple Slovenia's lake bled with Sam and Audrey and you have a fun video to experience. Thank you for sharing.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! I'm not sure what was up with us that day but we were definitely a bit goofy ;) It sure was a great experience visiting there and we'd love to explore more of Slovenia in the future.

[@katja-2kat.s]

Thx, Mylon! For what you've said about Slovenians. ☺️ I left my Slovenia and I miss all of that!

This video is so informative. Thanks guys!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

[@joejacoby2464]

Wow thanks for sharing another great video with really important information - planning that trip for April 2019 you're taking a lot of the work out of it for me ;) was planning on renting a car in Italy and approaching Slovenia from the Adriatic side, so won't have the bus ordeal at the end. You guys are spot on with info like how long it takes to walk around the lake and that sort of thing. Bravo!

[@DesertLamb]

Congrats on an amazing video! It is a great combination of useful information and entertainment -your personal chemistry is very charming. It is very well edited and I found very useful the prices you shared with us and the options tourists have while visiting. I really enjoyed it.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much!

[@Justin-sn5wm]

Wow! Lake Bled is where I want to get married one day! :)

[@deenaparker8689]

We’re you there in a December? Nice video!

[@Escape-the-Chaos]

Love you video. What time if year was this ?

[@samuelandaudrey]

This was late autumn.

[@Traveljet14]

Hi, thanks for sharing the information and great video. I saw nice autumn foliage. Could you advise roughly which part of the month (I assume its Oct) this was taken? We are planning for an autumn trip to Bled & Ljubljana.

[@snowywinter9]

Lake Bled is stunning! Could you have spent sometime renting an Airbnb over there as well? Maybe for a couple days?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It sure is and I think visiting in the winter would also be really cool. Yes, I think it is possible but we did notice it is geared more towards hotels. I think maybe staying a 10-15 minute walk away from the lake though would be an option for airbnb.

[@sandrascott2606]

Yet another cool video from you guys. My husband and I watch heaps of your travels videos when we're heading off somewhere, and have purposely been to a few of the cafes and restaurants you guys visit, even going so far as to have exactly what you ordered. (A very notable breakfast at a café in Bratislava with Sam getting 2 kinds of hummus on toast, one normal and one beetroot with pomegranate. Thanks for the thumb's up Sam. I probably wouldn't have had the courage to order that) We love food too :D It's really been quite fun copying you. We leave for a long awaited trip in 2 days time, and we will be going to Lake Bled, so yet again we cyber stalked you to see what you guys got up to there. Fortunately we're staying very near the lake so won't have to deal with the end of day transport drama you guys had, but maybe it's been sorted out by now anyway. Thanks heaps to the both of you and happy travels to us all.

[@kevharvey2292]

Anyone know if the problems with the returning buses to Ljubljana have been resolved yet? PS - Love your Vlogs guys, giving me some great inspiration for exploring Slovenia & Croatia..!!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Kev! We'd be interested to know as well.

[@dieterfischer3432]

There also is a train from Lesce Bled. That would be a 40 minute walk (approx.) .

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know about that! Would be an option to consider :)

wow...is that place beautiful! Seems very expensive compared to other places you have taken us. Sam you always look cute from any angel. You guys are my favorites.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! I think because it is becoming popular with tourists the prices definitely reflect that. The entire day when you add up the meal, cake, castle fee and boat ride wasn't a cheap outing.

Looks like fall..which month did you guys go? I plan to go mid of October and was wondering if the cold would be bearable!

[@samuelandaudrey]

It should be fine in October for instance.

[@mariamjaved3846]

@@samuelandaudrey Thanks! Your videos are really helpful :)

[@AlpineTrails]

Been there the past summer on our way to Triglav. Superb place for a holiday, but the autumn colours makes a fairy tail destination. The castle entrance fee is indeed overpriced. We hiked to the opposite hill where the famous bench is located and got some nice views. High five - I do the same thing for my mother. But you guys travel so much, yours might have to buy another fridge to fit them all. e: which of the cameras you used at min 9 ( for the cake part)? the focus seems to jump from the subject at times.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is cool to hear! She must have quite the collection. We're using a Panasonic GH5. Overall we're pleased with it but sometimes there is some autofocusing hunting that is annoying.

[@emersonarchuleta]

what month did u guys go? and do u know if u can bring luggage to the bus?

[@samuelandaudrey]

We visited in October. I wasn't noticing people bringing luggage with them to be honest.

[@urosg9551]

Yes you can. No problem at all.

[@BigSmallTravel]

Guys! The big question is where is Slovenia? Central, Eastern, or Southern Europe? Check out our second to last video because I think you guys would dig it. Are you coming to Lake Como or Venice next in Italy? Italy needs you. Keep up the GREAT work!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! Ah, we do finish off in Italy :) We'll be checking out Matera, Pompeii and Naples!

[@jaygenglish2669]

Rad!

[@laurisuurmaa2752]

Central Europe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Europe#/media/File:Central_Europe_(Brockhaus).PNG

[@QuinlanLJ]

It was on the Eastern side of the Iron Curtain politically in the Cold War era, but now Slovenia is considered to be Central Europe due to the shared history with Austria and its lands being Habsburg Crown lands in the past.

Bled is my fav place in my country.

[@mesillahills]

Top drawer video as usual. I hope we see you on PBS here in the U.S. some day. Your younger age, very high video production quality, and story line persona as a couple makes you a deserving candidate and what would be a breath of fresh air for them too. Your pitch should be that you cover the world, not just Europe, and would have wider appeal because you do it as a young bi-lingual couple, not from an aging male (or female) perspective alone who frankly is getting just a tad bite senile. Old quarterbacks do fad away. Count me as one of them too and even I see that.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you very much! We're really enjoying shooting videos and it might lead to more projects in the future. I think one thing we love about YT is just that we can upload our content shortly after shooting it. I know for some tv projects they're released 2-3 years after they're created.

"Kremšnita" is not so local (the name is German, after all), but they do make it very well there. Another place to try it is Samobor near Zagreb (and, of course, every pastry shop in Slovenia and Croatia has them, but the quality varies - some are more like flan).

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks for letting us know.

[@alpineanubis]

Kremšnita is one and only and its authentic to Bled. Name is slovenian but it sound like german cause like every language on the world slovenian also took some stuff from countries over the border. The one from samobor is basicaly copy of kremšnita but it is a bit different

Do you use Google maps much to plan transit travel

[@samuelandaudrey]

We use that often actually! Most of the time it is accurate but sometimes it isn't. For instance right now we're in Italy and they're only showing the main train lines but not the regional ones as options. I find google maps at first and confirmed by an article and I feel confident about it.

[@maticbukovac6966]

It just seems so bizarre that they wouldn't have enough buses at the end. They are probably on a schedule and I guess one bus can absorb a certain number of unscheduled travellers travelling at different times than stated on the ticket, but not a whole lot. I hope they fixed that problem somehow. Also, I see you went during the beginning of late autumn, when they probably reduce the number of buses because the weather can turn bad and there are fewer tourists arriving out of season anyway, but in your case the weather was great, ergo more tourists.

[@samuelandaudrey]

That is definitely possible Matic. We sure enjoyed visiting and felt fortunate to get a bus back at the end of the day.

There is no rule for this, but most Europeans have dessert such as cake etc, with a cup of tea or coffee (just like you did here). They normally don't have dessert right after a proper meal.

I think that is more healthy are reasonable to have it spaced out like that.

I just googled where she is from and it is Novo Mesto which is halfway between Ljubljana the capital of Slovenia and Zagreb the capital of Croatia.

Great video! Yes, we noticed that as well. We stayed in Zagreb and went to Ljubljana .... Slovenia is severely underrated and it offers a lot. Check out our video in Lake Bled and Ljubljana: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGm0dox5ZtVsb7s

[@zzaaggaa]

She is actually from Sevnica, small town north of Novo Mesto. She was probably just born in Novo Mesto where the regional maternity hospital is.

Why is every american pronouncing almost every slovenian word wrong? xD

[@samuelandaudrey]

Our bad!

[@QuinlanLJ]

For them not being Slavic, their pronounciation is pretty damn good. The accent is slightly wrong sure, but the pronounciation is almost spot on considering that they're English. Honestly, what do you expect? Even some Slovenian dialects accent words wrongy and not according to the grammar (if you're from Styria or Prekmurje, you do a lot of it wrong for instance) so it's definitely not fair to call out a foreigner on it.
