Discover Ljubljana: The Heartbeat of the Nation

Begin your Slovenian journey in Ljubljana, the charming capital city. Known for its vibrant arts scene and lively street cafes, Ljubljana is a place where modernity meets tradition. Stroll along the picturesque Ljubljanica River, where the city’s architectural wonders unfold—with buildings ranging from Roman antiquity to neoclassical grandeur and even contemporary designs.

Delve into the history as you wander through Ljubljana Castle perched atop a hill. The sweeping views of the city from the castle are truly breathtaking. For those inclined towards more cultural experiences, the city's museums, such as the National Museum of Slovenia, offer deep insights into the nation’s rich heritage.

Embrace Nature in Lake Bled and Beyond

No trip to Slovenia would be complete without a visit to Lake Bled. Envision rowing across the serene lake waters to the iconic island church, set against the backdrop of the majestic Julian Alps. The sight of Bled Castle majestically overseeing the lake makes for a picture-perfect moment.

  • Hiking Enthusiasts: Triglav National Park offers extensive trails, making it ideal for hikers looking to embrace Slovenia's wild beauty.
  • Winter Sports: Plan your custom holiday trips to Slovenia during the colder months to indulge in skiing adventures in the Kranjska Gora region.

Incorporating nature's grandeur into your travel plans might just ignite a passion for the outdoors you never knew you had.

The Karst Region: A Tapestry of Wonders

The Karst region, known for its unique geological formations, opens a portal to another world beneath your feet. Embark on an exploration of the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The network of underground passages, chambers, and waterfalls is a true testament to the region's natural wonders.

When designing custom travel packages to Slovenia, don’t forget to include a visit to the Lipica Stud Farm. The home of the classical Lipizzaner horses, it offers a glimpse into Slovenia's equestrian traditions and allows you the rare opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close.

Culinary Delights: A Taste of Slovenia

With many culinary experiences to savor, Slovenia does not disappoint the gastronomes. The diversity of Slovenia’s cuisine reflects its geographical and cultural influences, making it perfect for food enthusiasts planning trips to Slovenia.

  • Local Flavours: Indulge in the traditional dish, Carniolan sausage, or try Bujta repa, a hearty dish made with turnips and pork.
  • Wine Connoisseurs: Sip on local wines in the Styria wine region, which boasts family-owned vineyards with picturesque views and delicious wines.

Every meal in Slovenia is a celebration of flavors and a chance to engage with locals, making your journey more enriching and personal.

Practical Tips for Your Slovenian Adventure

When planning your custom travel packages to Slovenia, it is helpful to keep some practical tips in mind. Slovenia’s compact size makes it easy to traverse, but renting a car could provide the freedom to marvel at the country’s scenic routes.

English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas, but learning a few basic Slovenian phrases can enhance interactions and offer a more authentic experience. As for the best time to visit, spring and early autumn provide mild temperatures and fewer crowds, perfect for exploring this remarkable country at your own pace.

Embrace the opportunity to travel differently. By customizing your journey, each trip becomes a reflection of your personality and interests. From the thrilling landscapes to the rich traditions and exquisite gastronomy, Slovenia promises an unforgettable adventure tailored just for you. Dive into the heart of Europe’s treasures and let Slovenia enchant you with its myriad of wonders.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen

Lori Mezzomo and the team at Goway Travel are fantastic! Lori helped plan a 3-week Australia trip for our family of 5. Our teenage boys enjoyed exploring Sydney, Uluru, Cairns and the Gold Coast. Highlights included a Sydney Harbour Bridge walk, sunrise hike around Uluru, snorkeling with turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, and surfing on the gold coast. Lori did a fantastic job of creating an itinerary that was engaging for our teenage boys and relaxing for the parents... not an easy task! We miss Australia and would gladly book again with Lori Mezzomo and Goway Travel.Blair

Michael at Goway Travel was great to work with. We were planning a pre-trip with him prior to a group tour. He worked with us to hit the special places we wanted to visit and things we wanted to do. The accommodations arranged exceeded our expectations. Local guides were all amazing. This was the third trip we booked through Goway, and we will definitely book with them again in the future David Picka
