Bled City Reviews

Adventure town

Rafting, biking, hiking, rowing, canyoning and about a million other fantastic activities. Oh, and it looks like a scene out of a fairy tale, too.

  • Insider tip:Rent bikes for a day to see Vintgar Gorge and ride around the lake. Hike around the back of the castle and you'll find some stunning views of the lake without having to pay to go inside!

I like Bled.

Beautiful. It mostly rained but the scenery was dazzling in the couple hours when the sky cleared. Slovenian food is stellar. Slovenian people too. Friendly & cool, everyone we met could speak English. Bus is cheap and easy for getting back & forth to Bohinj, Ljubljana, etc. Not a lot going on other than outdoors stuff so hope for good weather.

  • Insider tip:Go.

What an amazing find! Bled was way more than I ever expected from a small town. If you go here, make sure to stay at backpackers rooms hostel, you

Just a few other things to do: skydive/paraglide, whitewater rapid rafting, ski/snowboard, caving, the list goes on.

  • Insider tip:MAKE SURE YOU GO TO VINTGAR GORGE!

Bled... a great escape!

We were there in winter so the weather wasn't ideal, but it was good enough to take a stroll around the lake and hike up to the castle. The scenery is fantastic and I would definitely recommend Bled. It was a good break from seeing lots of cities on our world tour. I would love to go back to experience it in summer!

  • Insider tip:Some of the boatmen who take you out to the island will try to rip you off. Don't let them charge you more than the standard 10 euro per person.
