All you have to do is get to the airport. On our Air Packages, we’ll take care of the rest, handling all the logistics, so you can travel with peace of mind. Spend your first night aloft and arrive refreshed for an unforgettable trip.
Start off your first day in Ljubljana right by having a VBT representative greet you at the airport. A complimentary car service will whisk you to your centrally located hotel. From here, you are perfectly positioned to explore this charming city at your leisure.
Please note: If you arrive early, your hotel room may not be available until after 2:00 p.m. You may store your luggage with the reception desk. If you are traveling from the west coast, your arrival in Ljubljana may not be until late in the evening.
VBT provides you with city information that includes information and recommendations on what to see and do in Ljubljana during your stay.
This morning, meet your guide in the lobby of the hotel at 9:30 a.m. for an included walking tour of Slovenia’s capital city. Stroll the quiet pedestrian streets of this romantic city and explore the central market, where local produce, wooden crafts, and native flowers are on display. Follow the Ljubljanica promenade and delight in its small, unique bridges: the Cobbler’s Bridge, the Triple Bridge, and the Dragon Bridge. Ljubljana is large enough to be a bustling national capital, but small enough to preserve the individuality of its inhabitants. To blend in with the locals, sip a distinctive, Slovenian Vinotek vintage at one of the many street cafés, lively and cozy any time of day and romantic at night.
Included Meals: Breakfast
After a delicious included breakfast at your hotel, you are free to explore on your own, using our included city information packet to guide your discoveries.

Fabulous trip. Slovenia is a relatively undiscovered destination with fabulous scenery, people and hidden gems. There were only 9 people on the tour (fantastic) and our guides, Ajda and Matija, made the trip memorable and personal. The riding for me and my friend, was perfect, we only had a few mishaps (me!) and we saw incredible scenery and history. I would recommend this trip for riders of all ability.
Slovenia, Austria & Italy
This was our first VBT tour and won't be our last. One of the best vacations we have taken.
