MoreExplore the most romantic corners of Slovenia
What is your perfect place for romance like? In the embrace of Alpine peaks, amongst gentle wine-growing hills, enjoying the sound of sea waves, or in picturesque towns or cities? In Slovenia, it is said that ‘every set of eyes has its own painter’ (or, in English, beauty is in the eye of the beholder), which means that everyone has their own taste, but we would still like to offer some hints to help you find the most romantic places in Slovenia.
Making wishes come true at Lake Bled
In the middle of Lake Bled, located in the heart of the Julian Alps, you can find the only island in Slovenia. Visit the island on a pletna, a traditional Bled boat. Some 99 steps separate you from the bell of wishes and the small Baroque church. Enjoy dinner at Bled Castle with a view of the lake. Surprise your loved ones with a carriage ride around the lake. Treat yourself to an excellent Bled cream cake. Experience the romantic atmosphere in the embrace of nature in the glamorous tents and small houses of the Garden Village or the Gozdne Vile Glamping; both are only a short distance from the lake. Bled provides an abundance of romance.
Romance in Ljubljana
Ljubljana is a real treat for romantic souls. Ascend to Ljubljana Castle and the capital will be within your reach. Enjoy a stroll through the charming old city centre, take a boat trip along the River Ljubljanica and admire the scenic architecture along the river from a different perspective. Lock a padlock on the bridge of love as a symbol of your love and add to the special character of the bridge adorned by the vows of many couples in love. After crossing this bridge, stop at the picturesque Ljubljana Central Market. Indulge in delicacies of the local culinary offer in selected restaurants or on the street. How about a romantic dinner in a cable car high above the ground? Only a few kilometres from Ljubljana in the embrace of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, cable cars of the Krvavec Ski Resort turn into unique mobile boutique restaurants.
Love accompanied by the sound of sea waves
You can find many romantic spots on the Slovenian coast. Scenic coastal towns will inspire you with their idyllic narrow streets. Enjoy a romantic dinner with a view in Piran, one of the most picturesque medieval coastal towns. Spice up your main course with fleur de sel, the most valuable product of the Piran Salt Pans, which have a tradition stretching back 700 years. Before your meal, make a toast with the Dulcis mare sparkling wine. This exclusive champagne from the Brda Hills matures for two years 18 metres deep in the sea of Piran Bay. For unforgettable moments away from the urban hustle and bustle, take a stroll to Moon Bay and enjoy marvellous views of the azure vastness of the sea. If you enjoy sports activities as a couple, then cycle along the former Parenzana railway route. Discover the romantic corners of Koper and Izola, or party in Portorož.
Daydreaming among the vines in the Brda Hills
The Brda Hills are an excellent getaway for couples seeking peace and relaxation. Beautiful vineyards and fruit tree plantations with winding roads leading to scenic villages with vantage points are the trademark of the Brda landscape. Discover secret spots on a bike or on foot. Enjoy a romantic dinner with local specialities and excellent Brda wines in the luxury environment of Gredič Castle, which watches over the wide vineyards. You can exchange your vows in the magnificent ambient of Vila Vipolže, the most beautiful Renaissance villa in Slovenia.
Romantic experiences between hills and plains
You can feel love everywhere you go in Ljubljana. In the Svečinske Gorice Hills lies Špičnik, which you can find when cycling on the heart-shaped wine road among vineyards. Stop at the Island of Love in Ižakovci, visit a typical floating mill and take a ferry along the River Mura. What could be nicer and more romantic than to observe the endless starry sky? Look through the telescope in Fokovci and discover the beauty of the night sky above the Goričko Landscape Park. Feel the energy of the sun and the Pannonian landscape in the Sun House. Organise a romantic surprise for your loved one and thrill them with the view of four countries from the Vinarium Tower near Lendava.
Fall in love with the beauty of mountain nature
Does your heart skip a beat when you see mighty peaks, green nature and crystal clear water? Enjoy the most precious moments with your significant other in the embrace of mountains. Enter the beautiful mountain world of the Logar Valley, which offers numerous possibilities for wandering about as a couple. Experience a shepherd’s fairytale in the pristine nature of the Velika Planina mountain plateau. Find your refuge of peace and quiet by Bohinj Lake and in its surroundings. Take the cable car to nearby Vogel and absorb the exceptional views over the entire Bohinj Valley. Spend some time with your loved ones by mountain beauty, the River Soča. Breathe in the beauty and tranquillity of the mountain world, and feel the heavenly love of Nebesa (Heaven) above Kobarid.
The romantic setting of the Karst and the inland areas of Istria
Although the word ‘karst’ stems from the old Slavic word for stone, the view of picturesque Karst villages and towns will make your heart melt. Visit Štanjel, an age-old Karst settlement, where a visit to the romantic Ferrari Garden is a must. Be charmed by the mysterious karst subterranean world when you visit a karst cave. Learn about Lipizzaner horses in Lipica and enjoy a romantic carriage ride down a tree-lined road. If you continue your journey towards the coast, make sure to also explore the inland areas of Slovenian Istria. Age-old Istrian villages and their original architecture also paint an idyllic backdrop for a perfect date.
