Ljubljana tours and excursions

Boat tours

At the Ljubljana Tourist Information Centre (TIC) you can purchase tickets for boat cruises that ply the Ljubljanica river, offering trips with commentary on the main sights by day and ‘romantic’ voyages at night. The cruises run from a small pier by Old Town and take in the stretch of river from the Dragon Bridge through to the suburb of Trnovo.

Walking tours

The Ljubljana Tourist Information Centre (TIC) organises walking tours of the city arranged along a number of different themes. Tours typically last for at least two hours.

Bike tours

Bike tours of the city can be arranged via the Ljubljana Tourist Information Centre (TIC), who can also organise guided group tours and guides for individuals. Booking ahead is recommended.

Škofja Loka

A half hour's drive west of Ljubljana lies Škofja Loka, a charming town with a well-preserved Old Town. Here you will find English information plaques and a revamped historical castle museum. The most interesting streets are the rectangular ‘squares' of Mestni trg, Cankarjev trg and Spodnji trg.

Lake Bled

This 14,000-year-old alpine lake, an hour's drive northwest of Ljubljana, is simply stunning – a glacial lake fringed by pine trees and vaulting peaks all around. It may bustle with tourists for much of the year, but on a serene morning when the mist clears and the alpine peaks reflect across the water, it is hard not to be spellbound by magical Bled.
