3Bled, Slovenia

While Lake Bled is the tourist magnet, the town itself is often overlooked—and that’s a mistake.

Bled is a postcard come to life, with its cliff-top castle, island church, and emerald lake surrounded by the Julian Alps. Rent a rowboat or hike up to  Ojstrica viewpoint for panoramic views that will stay with you forever.
