Balkans tours: things to do
Soak up the natural beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park
A magical world of terraced lakes and shimmering waterfalls, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park sits right at the top of many explorers' bucket lists for very good reason. And did we mention that this place looks picture-perfect all year round? Expect a lush green paradise (and lots of butterflies) in summer, and a twinkling, frozen-over wonderland in winter. One word: epic.
Explore the depths of the jaw-dropping Postojna Cave
Underground mountains and rivers. Massive subterranean halls. Stalagmites, stalactites and more. Hold up - is that a train? You better believe it! The captivating Postojna Cave is a 100% bucket list-worthy series of caverns and passages that was formed an incredible TWO MILLION years ago by the Pivka River. Embrace the creepiness and get involved. Just don't forget to bring a jacket!
Fall in love with enchanting Lake Bled
You've seen the social media posts. You've seen the documentaries. Now it's time to come face to face with the famous Lake Bled for real! And guess what? It's just as picture-perfect in real life as it is in the photographs. Think: aquamarine waters, a quaint little island church, an impressive mountain backdrop... heck, it's even got a cliff-side castle to write home about. New profile pic, anyone?
