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...more Beautiful.

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.close

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...more 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.

It's difficult to describe how great this place-the best I can do is say that there is something special about it. In isolation it would be quite boring (but good for relaxation) but thankfully there is lots to do in the local area.

In isolation it would be quite boring (but good for relaxation) but thankfully there is lots to do in the local area. Make sure to get to the Vintgar Gorge, which is about 3Km from Bled-if you are feeling energetic it is about an hour's walk. We also went rafting on the Sava river-try to avoid it before 11 as the dam at the HEP station is released at about this time and you may end up carrying the raft otherwise. The river is quite tame but I thought it was worth it as you do get the chance to jump off an 8m high cable bridge. Of the other activities I heard that canyoning is supposed to be amazing fun. So, whether you're after relaxation or activities Bled is perfect.close

Whatever vision you have of heaven or bliss or perfection, Bled will beat it. It is absolutely beautiful, breathtaking really. The people are really friendly, the hostels are great (I recommend Bled BackPackers), the weather in early April was perfect and the scenery is incredible.

It was unbelievably clean and tidy everywhere. Much more touristy than nearby Lake Bohinj, but great for a couple of days. A pretty quiet place at night, although there are plenty of nice restaurants and cafes. But most people are there for the walking and sights really, rather than nightlife....more It was unbelievably clean and tidy everywhere.

We've heard the nightlife is good but didnt get a chance to enjoy it. I would imagine though that if you are young and looking for more activities then being in Bled for more than a day or two may become boring. Don't skip it though-it is Beautiful!close

The lake is beautiful and great to swim in or go rowing on, theres loads of places near by to visit and loads of activities to try. i did rafting, horse riding, bike riding and loads of walking in two days. Also theres parachute jumps, canyonning, climbing, paintball and loooooads more, all at reasonable prices. I would go there again and again.close

Bled was really amazing. Slovenia was EVEN MORE AMAZING! People are so humble there and it's tourist friendly (although it's not a tourist trap yet). Slovenians speak good English and are very knowledgeable. Visit this place before it becomes too touristy. It's really amazing. I enjoyed my visit...more Bled was really amazing.
