Honeymoon to Slovenia
The rings have been exchanged, the kisses given, and the party is over. Now comes the moment all newlyweds look forward to: the honeymoon. Where will you go for that ultimate romantic experience? Slovenia may not be at the top of your list straight away, but this beautiful country truly deserves a chance.
Slovenia is a hidden gem in the heart of Europe. The country combines breathtaking nature with charming cities and romantic spots that are perfect for couples in love. From fairy-tale castles to crystal-clear lakes, you’ll find everything you need here for an unforgettable honeymoon. And of course, the memories. Just imagine how wonderful the photos of you together by an idyllic lake, in a castle, or at the foot of a waterfall will be!
Lake Bled: fairy-tale romance
Lake Bled is the ultimate place for romance in Slovenia. Picture this: an emerald green lake with a church on a little island in the middle. Green mountains as the backdrop and a castle perched on a cliff. It’s as if you’ve stepped into a Disney film. Together, you can row to the island and ring the famous wishing bell. According to the legend, your wish will come true if the bell is rung 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 that’s the perfect sweet ending to a romantic day around Lake Bled.
Ljubljana: charming capital full of love
Ljubljana is small but delightful for a city break during your honeymoon. The historic centre with its colourful buildings and cosy squares radiates romance. Stroll across the famous Dragon Bridges and attach a love lock to the locks bridge. That’s how you immortalise your love in Ljubljana.
Ljubljana Castle offers a spectacular view over the city. Take the funicular (lift) to the top and enjoy the panorama as you hold each other. The old city below looks even more romantic from up high. The castle restaurant even has a Michelin star!
Bohinj: peace and nature for two
If you love peace and nature, then the Bohinj area is perfect. This lake is bigger than Bled but much quieter. Here you’ll find the privacy every newlywed couple cherishes. You can go walking in Triglav National Park, where mountain streams, waterfalls and meadows full of flowers await.
The Savica waterfall is a special spot for romantic photos. The water plunges down 78 metres, and the rising mist sometimes creates beautiful rainbows. A perfect backdrop for your honeymoon pictures.
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 together through these extraordinary underground galleries feels like something out of a fantasy story.
The cave train takes you deep into the mountain, where you continue on foot through spectacular chambers. It’s unique and romantic at the same time—perfect for couples who love amazing experiences.
Why Slovenia is perfect for your honeymoon
Slovenia offers everything you could want for a romantic honeymoon. The country is compact enough to see a lot in a short time, but large enough for real variety. From mountains to sea, from castles to caves—there’s no such thing as boredom here. Slovenians are welcoming people who love 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, so you’ll have 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 like we were in our own fairy tale!”
