This is a European resort/vacation spot and as such, much used. Still, it had a pleasant 'family' feel as well. The lake is picture perfect and indeed, it was through showing my husband pictures that I was able to get him to start our trip out of Slovenia rather than simply heading for Croatia. I could see that during peak... More

We have wanted to visit Lake Bled ever since seeing the picture of its island with the church framed by  the mountains. Sometimes you anticipate something so much that the reality of it is disappointing. Lake Bled surpassed the high expectations we had for it. It was a beautiful turquoise color, even more brilliant along its shore underneath the overhanging... More

Hire a boat, go to the island, eat fresh fish. There are plenty of places to hire a bike from for about €10 same as rowing boat hire. The Bled cake is excellent as well. There's diving if you want to do that as well

Picturesque Lake Bled is worth seeing and staying a day or two but the town is not. Very dull modern (in the 1970s) buildings. Take a boat across to the island to see the church and ring the bell. Then circle the lake on foot, visiting the castle for excellent views across the lake. Also worth climbing the hills at... More

It's a very touristic (small) lake, still it's quite with no speedboates etc.. there is a tiny island in the lake, with a church, worth a short visit, just few minutes by boat from the bled.

Bled is a wonderful place for a vacation. I was there with my fiance in May 2012 and we absolutely loved it. The lake itself is incredible, it is so beautiful and peaceful it is almost unreal. It is situated in the mountains, which are very scenic, to say the very least. We took a day long walk around the... More

This looks like a Disney film. The lake is pristine and the 3 1/2 mile walk is flat and easy.

With my husband and kid, I had been to Lake Bled in May 2012. It was a refreshing journey and a great experience. We were in Lake bled area just for one whole day. You can take a walk around the lake. Also a ride from lake to the island is very mesmerizing. The ride costs around 12 euro per... More

we liked the boats across the lake to the island. The path around the lake was a lovely walk. There is a little road train you can go around the lake on and also horses pulling carriages. On a bright sunny day it is lovely. Pavements in the town a bit narrow and un even at times.
