]]>Piran
An easy day trip from Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana, this stunning seaside town offers something for everyone. Wander the pretty streets in search of a coffee or a bite to eat or spend time relaxing at one of its beaches. Moon Bay (also known as the Bay of the Cross) is the perfect place to while away an afternoon.
Kranj
The capital of the Slovenian Alps is definitely worth a visit. If you’re worried that you’ll miss out on nature in the city, never fear—the mountains surround Kranj, and a stunning river canyon runs through the center of town. The city has its fair share of cultural offerings too, as the famous poet France Prešeren lived here. There are plenty of churches to visit in the city and numerous cafes and shops to browse in.
Lake Bled

]]>Her goal with her blog? To inspire others to travel and not just to tick off a list, but to really learn about a new place, try the foods, speak to people, and fully experience it. “I also want people to reconsider local travel as an option, there is so much to see in our own backyards. Especially in Slovenia!”
On her blog, she adds that Wandering Helene grew out of her desire to share her experiences traveling and living in new cultures. “I want to share the places that often get overlooked, but are full of amazement and beauty,” reads her bio.
But how does a travel blogger continue to prosper in the days after Covid? According to Wandering Helene it’s a question of flexibility. In a recent blog post, she writes candidly about her experience this past year and explains that traveling locally is a great way of staying active and maintaining a sense of wonder.
“Being a tourist at home does not have to be dull or boring,” she stresses on her blog. “I guarantee for most people there is at least one if not more activities that you never experienced in your area.”
Her call to action: “Once it is safe to do so, plan one local outing being a tourist in your town. Just try it once. If you don’t know where to start about how to find local things to do or see, message me and I will personally give you a few ideas or direct you to someone who can.”
If Slovenia is on your to-do list, you’d definitely want to check out her blog and accompanying Instagram page:

]]>Dragon Bridge
One of Ljubljana’s most recognizable landmarks, this Art Nouveau bridge was built at the turn of the 20th century. It’s not a coincidence that dragon statues were picked to adorn it, because the history of this city is plagued with legends about these mythical creatures.
Butchers’ Bridge
Butchers’ Bridge is located just across the street from the Ljubljana Central Market. Despite its simple exterior, it’s one of the city’s most visited bridges because it’s the best place for traveling couples to leave their “love padlocks”.
Triple Bridge
Like many of the bridges on this list, this one was designed by the famed Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. It consists of three bridges that connect the modern part of the city with the historical area on the other side.
Cobblers’ Bridge
Another trace of Jože Plečnik’s architectural style, this bridge once occupied by shoemakers and that’s how it became known by its current name.
