With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Bled, 18 miles away, has to offer. Lake Bled, Bled Castle and Vintgar Gorge alone make the drive out worth it. Locals will also probably point you toward Radovljica, 18 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Lake Bled. (But we’re also big fans of Bled Castle and Pustolovski Park Bled.)
