Dear Friends,We are a family of three, with a 5 year old daughter. We plan to visit Slovenia from India for 5 full days in Mid October excluding the arrival & departure day). Im looking for suggestions for an itinerary. We will be using public transport.

1. Should i stay in Ljublana all 5 days and do day trips to Lake Bled, Skofja Loka, Logarska Dolina – Velika Planina, Piran etc.. OR should i split my stay.

2. We love exploring the town, local culture, cuisine etc.
Thank you...

Depends on your preferences! Slovenia is small and public transportation to many places is easiest from Ljubljana, so if you stay in Llubljana, you can see a great deal with day trips. Some people prefer to change locations for any number of reasons -- to be closer to things they want to see upon awakening or before heading to sleep, to link to specific memories to a different lodging, to save money if lodging costs differ, etc. OTOH, many people with a 5-year-old would opt to simplify the experience by staying in one place. No right or wrong answer, IMO, just different options.

If you haven't already seen it, I strongly recommend the Rough Guide for Slovenia.

Slovenia is lovely -- enjoy!

Slovenia is indeed a small country, and five days is too short a time to split it up into different locations, although this is a good way to immerse yourself more deeply in the atmosphere.

We absolutely loved our time in Slovenia.
The Bled Rise Hotel is one of our favorites and. 5 yr. Old would love it.

Lake Bled boat ride was very picturesque.
Ljubgiana (sp?) was a lovely town with lots to do.
The Julian Alos were spectacular.
