Common Places

Here are the most common places tourists want to visit in Bled. You can take "Pletna" boat or small rowing boat and visit the island with or check the majestic Bled Castle. You will also want to try Kremšnita cake and see the most visited viewpoint Ojstrica, and maybe also Straža and Osojnica. If you feel adventourous and want to explore more, check the hidden spots section as well.

Bled Island
Niki:Climb 99 stairs and will be on top of the only Slovanian island, but even though it is the only one, it is also a very special one. Ring the bell in the church and make a wish!
