Serenity and tranquil. That’s what lakes are all about and Lake Bled epitomised that like no other. If you happen to be in Ljubljana, then we strongly recommend a one hour bus ride to Lake Bled for a nature’s walk and their ever famous cream cake desert at the minimum. For those who want to maximise their stay here, there are boats to take you to the castle in the island, explore the Cathedral and swim in the lake. We chose the minimum option that day.

A word of advice – Do buy the bus ticket beforehand if possible – the line at the bus station was impossibly long and took us more than an hour, hence missing the 12pm bus we initially wanted to take.
