Itinerary of the trip

You will meet our team at your Bled accommodation and we’ll give you a short briefing about the photo holiday itinerary. We will have a short walk to the lake shore in the evening for a blue hour photography session of one of the most famous places in Slovenia. Dinner and overnight in Bled.

Gallery

An early sunrise photography session to capture the stunning environment of Lake Bled. After the sunrise session, we drive to nearby Vintgar Gorge, have a 2-mile stroll by the creek where we can master our techniques of capturing soft morning light and wild water flow. Return to our accommodation, breakfast and some time to relax. In the afternoon, we drive to the valley of Bohinj, where we capture Lake Bohinj and wait for the sunset at St. John the Baptist church. Dinner and overnight in Bled.

Gallery

We drive to the nearby church of St. Primus in the village of Jamnik in the early morning. The church became a photographic phenomenon in the early 90s when famous National Geographic photographer Steve McCurry took a shot there and published it in the magazine. After sunrise, we return to our accommodation, have breakfast, and drive towards Kranjska Gora, the Vršič Mountain pass, and the Soča Valley.

During the drive, we will enjoy a lot of photogenic views of the Julian Alps in Triglav National Park. Lunch in the Soča Valley is followed by an afternoon of photographing the amazing emerald Soča River.

After checking in the hotel in Bovec in the evening, we drive up to the Mangart mountain pass, where the highest road in Slovenia ends at nearly 2000 m above sea level. After sunset, we can practice night photography in the mountains and try to capture the milky way.

Gallery

After a late breakfast in the morning, we follow the Soča River to the town of Kobarid and go on an easy 1.5-hour hike to the beautiful creek of the Kozjak Waterfall to capture this hidden photographic gem of the Slovenian Alps.

We proceed to the area of Goriška Brda, also known as Slovenian Tuscany, where we enjoy the views of the vineyards, farms, and medieval villages. Then we enjoy a sunset session on the viewpoint above the region, where we can enjoy a glass of the famous local wine. At last, a delicious dinner and overnight stay in Goriška Brda awaits.

Gallery

We can choose to have an optional sunrise photography session, where we drive through the scenic area of Goriška Brda and look for more motifs. After breakfast, we leave towards the coast.

After transferring to Piran/Portorož and having lunch in a local restaurant, we spend the afternoon with some free time in the charming medieval town of Piran, where we explore its narrow streets, a bustling vegetable market and the hidden passages to some of the houses. At the end of the day, we have a sunset session on the Piran walls and blue hour photography in the harbor.

Gallery

On day 6, we drive to the hinterland of the Slovenian coast. We capture the photogenic church of Hrastovlje and explore the nearby area. A possible stop for a local wine tasting in the area of the Slovenian coast, which is known for exquisite red wine. In the evening, we take a sunset session in the hills above Trieste or Piran.

Gallery

After a laid-back morning with breakfast, we drive through the Lipica Stud farm where we can photograph divine white Lipizzaner horses in their natural environment. We proceed to the Karst phenomena Rakov Škocjan, which hides a beautiful creek and small river stream, offering fantastic landscape photography.

We arrive in Ljubljana in the afternoon and have an evening stroll and a sunset session on the castle hill. Then it is time for things to end, with the last dinner and the final overnight stay in Ljubljana.

Gallery

We will check our best images and re-evaluate the whole holiday workshop. We can offer you a transfer to your accommodation in Ljubljana or to the airport.

Slovenia is a place yet to be discovered. Our small country on the south side of the Alps provides fantastic photographic experiences. Capture reflections in the lakes, play with long exposure near the streams, photograph churches with outstanding backgrounds, or wait for the sunset on the Adriatic coast.

Our photography tour is designed to take you to the most iconic places in the country and give you an opportunity to find hidden spots, known only to local photographers. You will be able to focus on your photography while we take care of location scouting, transfers and accesses, settings and guidelines, if needed.

We will spend the first couple of days in the area around iconic Lake Bled and have sunrise and sunset sessions. Then we move across the Triglav National Park and spend some time in the Trenta Valley to master our Long Exposure techniques. We will visit "Slovenian Tuscany" with its beautiful hills and vineyards. A couple of days will be dedicated to capturing the beauty of the Slovenian coastal town of Piran, and for the grand finale, a walking tour through Slovenia’s charming capital, Ljubljana.

Prepare your camera and join us on this 8-day Slovenia photo tour and discover our country and the excellent photographer inside you.

Frequently Asked Questions

The included pickup and drop-off at the end of the holiday in the price published on our website is in Ljubljana. For any changes, please notify us upon booking. The included transfers are all the transfers between places and/or activities specified in the itinerary.

Both our back office team and our guides know where to go. We can give you recommendations or even pre-book some places for you. You can be adventurous and find places on your own. Either way, let us know if you would like any sort of help.

It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in.

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.

Yes! Our holidays are designed to give you some free time every day to relax and spend it the way you want to. It is your holiday after all! For any advice and suggestions you can always turn to your tour leader or our back office, who will be more than happy to help you out.

The tour plan was really wonderful, a good balance of urban and outdoor locations and experiences. The trip app worked perfectly, making it simple to keep organized with excursion vouchers, route maps, site descriptions, etc. it also made it easy to communicate with the travel company when we occasionally had questions. We were amazed at how much variety there was in a relatively small area. I highly recommend this company and this particular trip plan for anyone who would like to explore this area of Slovenia.

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
