Tour Overview
Nestled in Central Europe, Slovenia is a small country, one that is often overlooked but one of Europe’s most beautiful and charming off-the-radar destinations. Especially when you combine it with Croatia. Slovenia, with its imposing green mountains, medieval towns and shimmering glaciers and Croatia with its sparkling waters and Adriatic coastline make for an ideal pairing.
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is crisscrossed by the Ljubljanica River and enchants with its well-preserved medieval charm.

Nestled in Central Europe, Slovenia is a small country, one that is often overlooked but one of Europe’s most beautiful and charming off-the-radar destinations. Especially when you combine it with Croatia. Slovenia, with its imposing green mountains, medieval towns and shimmering glaciers and Croatia with its sparkling waters and Adriatic coastline make for an ideal pairing.
Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is crisscrossed by the Ljubljanica River and enchants with its well-preserved medieval charm. Native architect Jože Ple?nik through his iconic work, Tromostovje or the Triple Bridge, created an ensemble of three parallel bridges spanning the Ljubljanica River connecting the medieval part of the city with its urban counterpart. Stone balustrades and lamps adorn the bridges, making it an aesthetically pleasing sight. Compact, friendly and strangely fascinated with dragons, Ljubljana soothes the senses with its relaxed atmosphere, city squares and lovely bridges. Lake Bled on the other hand is a stunningly beautiful glacial lake with crystal-clear water, surrounded by mountains and a castle perched atop a hill overlooking the water.
Southwest of Slovenia lies Croatia, renowned for its Adriatic coastline. A stunning mosaic of picturesque islands, pebbled beaches and historic cities it captivates visitors with its old-world charm, warm hospitality and delectable cuisine. Zlatni Rat, also referred to as the Golden Horn, is one of the iconic beaches on the coast of the island of Bra?. What makes this beach unique is its shape, which changes with shifting tides and winds. Extending into the Adriatic Sea it is like a white pebbled tongue lined with pine trees. A must-visit-destination for those seeking the beauty of nature and the irresistible allure of the Dalmatian Coast.

Day 1
Arrive Ljubljana
A warm welcome to your “Adriatic Delights” tour. On arrival at the Ljubljana Jože Pucnik Airport you will be welcomed by your ATG Tours representative who will give you a warm welcome and ensure your smooth and comfortable transfer to the hotel.
Check-into your hotel, freshen up and relax for a bit.
Spend the rest of the day exploring the lively city center and saunter down the main street along the banks of the Ljubljanica River, as you breathe in the fresh air of one of the continent's greenest cities.
A classic European castle, parks, and churches are all on offer as you wind your way around town. The legacy of the modern architect Jože Pucnik is displayed around the city at worthwhile stops such as the National Library, Central Market, Triple Bridge, and Pucnik's own home-turned-museum, all under the watchful eyes of the city's many signature dragons. The Central Market is a delight for sampling local cuisine at its many stalls, stopping in whatever small boutique, outdoor café, or wine bar terrace strikes your fancy.

Ljubljana - Bled
This morning after breakfast you will drive just over two hours west to cross the border into Slovenia to the fairy-tale shores of Lake Bled. This postcard-perfect lake with an island in the middle and surrounded by the soaring peaks of the Julian Alps is one of Slovenia's main attractions.
Climb up to Bled Castle and tour its smithy, wine cellar, and printing press
Take a ride on a Pletna – a traditional boat. Standing paddlers row you to the island. Climb 99 stone steps to the Assumption of Mary church and the fortune bell, where legend has it that the ringing of the bell can grant your wishes. Ensure that you do not miss your return Pletna.
Relax and sunbathe on the lakeside while sampling a slice of the famous Bled cream cake at the Park Hotel or Slascicarna Zima bakery.

Ljubljana - Zagreb
Today check out after breakfast and cross into Croatia venturing farther inland to Croatia's capital, Zagreb by noon. Step out to spend the rest of the day as you like. The city center is easily walkable, and the streets and parks are easy to navigate. A gem of a European city, Zagreb is at once historic and new. It's filled with parks and gothic/neo-renaissance buildings, there are also modern shopping complexes, outdoor malls and endless dining options.
Consider heading out on a walking tour of the historic heart of the city. This involves walking from the main square to Zagreb's Upper Town and passing through local markets before reaching St. Mark's Square. Visit one of the many museums and art galleries, like the Homeland War Museum, the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum, or the ever-popular Museum of Broken Relationships. Stroll through the city center, enjoying 17th-century neo-baroque architecture found at Zagreb's Art Pavilion and the Croatian National Theatre.
Relax in one of the beautiful city parks exploring and people watching, in the late afternoon. End your tour at Jelacic square. Relax at a cafe and try the delectable cuisine.

Zagreb - Zadar
Today after breakfast drive to Zadar. On arrival explore Zadar’s streets on an Orientation tour. A historical center of the Dalmatian Coast, Zadar is famous for its picturesque coastline full of islands and vibrant blue waters, as well as fresh seafood and unforgettable sunsets (Alfred Hitchcock is on record saying they're the best in Zadar). Visit the Old City, the Church of St. Donatus on a Roman forum built between 1 BCE and 3 CE, the Cathedral of St. Anastasia, the Sea Gate, the Land Gate, the City Walls, the Square of Five Wells and its two unique attractions – the sound-and-light spectacle of the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation which need to be seen and heard to be believed. Admire the most beautiful sunset in the world. Stroll along Zadar's Riva, a wide ribbon of stone paths that runs along the Old Town’s waterfront, where it comes alive at night with vendors and Dalmatian capella groups (Klapa), that serenade the passers-by, including folks on yachts who dock there. Take the rest of the day to relax and explore.
