Things to do in Ljubljana, Slovenia and Lake Bled | Travel Guide

[@RetirementTravelers]

Slovenia is a country that we will definitely visit again. It was clean, beautiful, safe and welcoming in every way. Ljubljana is a wonderful city and Lake Bled is one of the most beautiful places on the planet! Let us know if you liked Slovenia as much as we did. 🇸🇮❤️ John and Bev

Yea you have too much more to see.

[@RetirementTravelers]

@@boyan64 You are so right. We can’t wait to go back. Such a beautiful country. John and Bev

[@boyan64]

Thanks. I am living between Ljubljana and Bled. But I grow up in Ljubljana. I am 58 years old now.

Rowing across Lake Bled to the church looks great! That looks like a great area and to be inside the church when the bell is ringing had to be awe inspiring!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Lake Bled is a must visit. What a cool place. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@crrizello5157]

Slovenia is wonderful. I used to travel there for work. Another great town is Maribor

[@RetirementTravelers]

We will study Maridor. We just love Slovenia. It's one of the best countries we've visited and are surprised more people don't know about it. Thanks for the tip! John & Bev www.retirementtravelers.com

I’ve been binge watching videos of Slovenia and it’s making me wish I could speed up time to April 2023 when I’ll be out there! It’s truly underrated and I can’t wait to explore Slovenia and of course stuff my face with the good food 😂 Excellent video

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. It has been one of our favorite places on our world journey. Hope you have a great trip! John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

Slovenia, one of those countries I definitely plan to revisit, I was there in 2019! I didn’t get to Ljubljana, we were in Bled & Bohinj. I did that entire trip (Albania, Montenegro, Croatia & Slovenia) to get to Bled Island/the church on Lake Bled & we had a farewell reception at Bled Castle. A bit of trivia, I caught sight of Bled Island on a Hallmark Christmas movie ‘Crown for Christmas’ believe it or not, I recognized the steeple; another bit of trivia, Slovenia is the only country with L-O-V-E in its name…SLOVENIA! 👍🏽❤ Happy travels!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much for the info. We loved Slovenia. We used to watch Hallmark movies a lot, when we had a TV and a home. 😳 Hope you get to go to Ljubljana and thanks for following along. John and Bev

[@vesnajogan7596]

Nice video. It is true that Slovenia is small, but it is much more than just Ljubljana and Bled. Hope you come again to see other regions full of nature, nice people, tasty wines and food.😊

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. We agree and have Slovenia on our list as a country to come back to and explore all the areas. It is so beautiful. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

[@KarenYouncke-hj9xu]

Beautiful country…never thought of visiting Slovenia…but we will now…Thanks to you two😊

You are welcome. We loved Slovenia and hope you get to visit soon. Happy journeys, John and Bev retirementtravelers.com/

I was fortunate to spend 2 weeks in Slovenia back in 1996 as part of a college missions trip. This was just a few years after the collapse of Yugoslavia. The people were amazing and it remains as the most amazing trip I have made in my life. Love your videos and your energy.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for following along. So glad you got to go and hope you get to see it again. Safe travels, John and Bev

[@benjaminjohnson1693]

Great video. Slovenia is one of my favorite countries I've had the pleasure of visiting. It is beautiful, has amazing hiking, and the Slovene people are very friendly. In my opinion, it may be the most underrated country in Europe. That church in the middle of Lake Bled is a popular venue for weddings. It has an old urban legend: the marriage will last if the groom can carry the bride up the steps leading to the church. Thank you for sharing. Continued safe travels. Have a wonderful time in Belgrade.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for the info on the church. It really is a special place. We can’t wait to go back and explore the rest of the country. Safe travels, John and Bev

[@jackierinker2582]

The castle in Ljubljana is home to a fantastic restaurant that was just awarded a Michelin star in September We had a fantastic wine pairing lunch experience there and it was outstanding!

[@RetirementTravelers]

We loved Ljubljana and want to return. Thanks for the tips. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com

[@hansdegroot8549]

I was in Bled in the summer of 1985 (when I still lived in the Netherlands). I stayed in a youth hostel. I didn't visit the island, so I'm glad you gave me a peek there. I'm going to subscribe to your channel.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. John and Bev

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

Agee! Ljubljana was one of our favorite cities too! Only 48 hours for us, but we visited the castle, bridges and the market was outstanding! I still remember the stunning flowers for sale. Wish we could have visited Lake Bled thanks for taking us back!! Great video! ~Cara

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks guys. You definitely need to go back and head to Lake Bled. Ljubljana is a wonderful city and near the top of our list. John and Bev

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

LOVED the lake and the church! I’m so glad you got to ring church bells, Bev! I got my first chance last year here in England and was so excited! Then I had another cheeky little go at a tiny very old church at the beginning of the summer. And then in June I finally had a proper lesson from the bell ringer on how to do it! It’s actually quite difficult!!!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks and that is an amazing setting for a church. Being up in bell tower at noon was pretty cool. John and Bev

[@vmichelita]

It looks so beautiful! Will have to add it to our list, for sure!! Continued happy and safe travels!

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks for following along. We plan to go back and explore more of the country for sure. Hope all is going well with you guys and your fabulous endeavor. John and Bev

[@havechopstickswilltravel2990]

Gorgeous country. Will definitely add this to our list. I love how you find active ways to get to your destinations and then when you get there you do more hiking and walking. Thank you for showing us Slovenia.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Thanks so much. It has been one of our favorite places so far. Glad you enjoyed it. John and Bev

[@DestinationEarth]

Can't go wrong with dragons! Wow, perfect timing at the bell tower. What an incredibly beautiful place.

[@RetirementTravelers]

Adding this to my list of places to visit! So beautiful. I think adding the dragons to your bridge would be a nice look 😉

We are letting you know we are inviting ourselves to join you both on your next trip to Slovenia 😆. Fantastic vlog, yet another great effort by you both, thank you for the inspiration. We must admit though, we were just a little bit worried when we first saw John in the boat, some flash backs of the Netherlands came to mind 🤣. Safe travels.

[@RetirementTravelers]

You have a standing invitation, but somebody has to retire first, and it’s not us!!! Slovenia is amazing. John and Bev

@@RetirementTravelers we are on to it.....322 days to go! Thankyou for the confirmation....how exciting to think we'll soon meet you both. Take care, safe travels.

In the past on triple bridge was a trafic. Too much trafic.

Did you get a dragon pin for your shirt?

[@RetirementTravelers]

We wish. Dragons are so cool. John and Bev retirementtravelers.com

[@hansdegroot8549]

@@RetirementTravelers I guess in Cracow (Poland) they will have dragon pins as well. Very affordable travelling through Europe is also by a bus (coach) company named Flix Bus. There one route from Budapest (Hungary) to Cracow, that goes through Dolný Kubín in Slovakia, my home town there.
