Honeymoon to Slovenia
The rings have been exchanged, kisses shared and the party is over. Now comes the moment every newlywed couple looks forward to: the honeymoon. Where will you go for that ultimate romantic experience? Slovenia might not be top of your list straight away, but this beautiful country really deserves a chance.
Slovenia is a hidden gem in the heart of Europe. The country blends breathtaking nature with charming towns and romantic spots, perfect for couples in love. From fairy-tale castles to crystal-clear lakes, here you’ll find everything you want for an unforgettable honeymoon. And, of course, the memories. Just imagine the amazing photos you’ll take together by an idyllic lake, in a castle, or at the foot of a waterfall!
Lake Bled: fairy-tale romance
Lake Bled is the place for romance in Slovenia. Picture this: an emerald green lake with a little church on an island in the middle. Green mountains in the background and a castle on a cliff. It feels just like you’ve stepped into a Disney film. You can row together to the island and ring the famous wishing bell. According to legend, your wish will come true if you ring the bell three times.
A walk around the lake at sunset is pure magic. The mountains reflect in the water and the whole area is bathed in golden light. Don’t forget to try the famous Bled cake—a luxurious custard slice and the perfect sweet ending to a romantic day around Lake Bled.
Ljubljana: charming capital, full of love
Ljubljana is small but perfect for a city break during your honeymoon. The historic old town with its colourful buildings and cosy squares simply oozes romance. Stroll across the famous Dragon Bridges and attach a love lock to the locks bridge. That way, you can immortalise your love in Ljubljana.
Ljubljana Castle offers a spectacular view over the city. Take the funicular (lift) up and enjoy the panorama whilst holding each other. The old town below looks even more romantic from above. The castle’s restaurant even has a Michelin star!
Bohinj: peace and nature for two
If you love peace and nature, then the Bohinj area is ideal. This lake is bigger than Bled and much quieter. Here you get the privacy every newlywed couple treasures. Go for a walk in Triglav National Park where mountain streams, waterfalls and meadows full of flowers await you.
The Savica waterfall is a truly special spot for romantic photos. Water plunges down 78 metres and the mist that rises sometimes creates beautiful rainbows. A perfect backdrop for your honeymoon photos.
Postojna Caves: underground wonders
For nature lovers, the Postojna Caves are a must-see. This underground world full of stalactites and stalagmites has been open to visitors for almost 200 years. Walking through these unique underground galleries together feels like something from a fantasy story.
The cave train takes you deep into the mountain, and then you continue on foot through spectacular chambers. It’s unique and romantic all at once—perfect for couples who love awe-inspiring experiences.
Why Slovenia is perfect for your honeymoon
Slovenia offers everything you want in a romantic honeymoon. The country is compact enough to see a lot in a short time, but big enough for real variety. From mountains to sea, castles to caves—there’s no such thing as boredom here. Slovenians are welcoming people who appreciate romance. Everywhere you’ll find lovely spots for a romantic dinner or a glass of wine at sunset. Prices are friendlier than in Western Europe, which means more budget for fun activities together.
Helen and Marc from Utrecht recently chose Slovenia for their honeymoon and said: “Every day was a new adventure. It felt as if we were living in our own fairy tale!”
