Discover Ljubljana: The Heartbeat of the Nation

Begin your Slovenian journey in Ljubljana, the charming capital city. Known for its vibrant arts scene and lively street cafes, Ljubljana is a place where modernity meets tradition. Stroll along the picturesque Ljubljanica River, where the city’s architectural wonders unfold—with buildings ranging from Roman antiquity to neoclassical grandeur and even contemporary designs.

Delve into the history as you wander through Ljubljana Castle perched atop a hill. The sweeping views of the city from the castle are truly breathtaking. For those inclined towards more cultural experiences, the city's museums, such as the National Museum of Slovenia, offer deep insights into the nation’s rich heritage.

Embrace Nature in Lake Bled and Beyond

No trip to Slovenia would be complete without a visit to Lake Bled. Envision rowing across the serene lake waters to the iconic island church, set against the backdrop of the majestic Julian Alps. The sight of Bled Castle majestically overseeing the lake makes for a picture-perfect moment.

  • Hiking Enthusiasts: Triglav National Park offers extensive trails, making it ideal for hikers looking to embrace Slovenia's wild beauty.
  • Winter Sports: Plan your custom holiday trips to Slovenia during the colder months to indulge in skiing adventures in the Kranjska Gora region.

Incorporating nature's grandeur into your travel plans might just ignite a passion for the outdoors you never knew you had.

The Karst Region: A Tapestry of Wonders

The Karst region, known for its unique geological formations, opens a portal to another world beneath your feet. Embark on an exploration of the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The network of underground passages, chambers, and waterfalls is a true testament to the region's natural wonders.

When designing custom travel packages to Slovenia, don’t forget to include a visit to the Lipica Stud Farm. The home of the classical Lipizzaner horses, it offers a glimpse into Slovenia's equestrian traditions and allows you the rare opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close.

Culinary Delights: A Taste of Slovenia

With many culinary experiences to savor, Slovenia does not disappoint the gastronomes. The diversity of Slovenia’s cuisine reflects its geographical and cultural influences, making it perfect for food enthusiasts planning trips to Slovenia.

  • Local Flavours: Indulge in the traditional dish, Carniolan sausage, or try Bujta repa, a hearty dish made with turnips and pork.
  • Wine Connoisseurs: Sip on local wines in the Styria wine region, which boasts family-owned vineyards with picturesque views and delicious wines.

Every meal in Slovenia is a celebration of flavors and a chance to engage with locals, making your journey more enriching and personal.

Practical Tips for Your Slovenian Adventure

When planning your custom travel packages to Slovenia, it is helpful to keep some practical tips in mind. Slovenia’s compact size makes it easy to traverse, but renting a car could provide the freedom to marvel at the country’s scenic routes.

English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas, but learning a few basic Slovenian phrases can enhance interactions and offer a more authentic experience. As for the best time to visit, spring and early autumn provide mild temperatures and fewer crowds, perfect for exploring this remarkable country at your own pace.

Embrace the opportunity to travel differently. By customizing your journey, each trip becomes a reflection of your personality and interests. From the thrilling landscapes to the rich traditions and exquisite gastronomy, Slovenia promises an unforgettable adventure tailored just for you. Dive into the heart of Europe’s treasures and let Slovenia enchant you with its myriad of wonders.

You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.

What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.

Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.

I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.

Allan Birkett at Goway has been an absolute godsend! Over the past year, he has helped me plan numerous vacations—especially honeymoons—and has been an incredible partner every step of the way. He is always quick to respond, patient with my clients' frequent changes, and goes above and beyond to help whenever an issue comes up. His knowledge, professionalism, and dedication make my job as a travel advisor so much easier. I truly appreciate everything Allan does and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional service. Thank you, Allan, for always being thereBrooke Echols

Our 2-week trip to Normandy, Switzerland and Italy after we disembarked from the Queen Mary 2 in Southampton in mid-May was superb. Michael Keon did an amazing job of putting together highlights for us to see and visit with the short time we had. All the train reservations, private and small group tours and transportations were very well coordinated, on time, and usually exceeded our expectations. Drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. Mike did a wonderful job getting everything coordinated, in spite of our almost “last minute” booking. I booked a month-long trip through GOWAY back in 1989 for Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, and they were superb then. So I tried them again, and found the entire organization to be even better. Mike was quick to respond to any questions that came up regarding booksings and times, regardless of the 6-hour time difference. Just superb! Although we had a nasty experience in Milan, GOWAY was very responsive and saw to our requests and our needs. Again, Michael Keon is the person who coordinated our travel. I will ask for Mike when I travel again with GOWAY. I recommend GOWAY highly. PJ Wheeler

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay
