This must have been place to fall in love with some hundred years ago or shorter. It seems that its primary beauty changed it into unlucky experiment to build snob tourism place in Alpine paradise. Masses of hotels and overal feeling that makes me feel bad. Some people find this place extremely beautiful. Walk around the lake and make few photos. Nearby canyon Blejski vintgar is great place to visit.
Portoroz is like Rimini... it's also Cancun's little cousin. What I'm trying to say is that there's a sea, lots of concrete, many discos and casinos and hotels galore. It's the place to go to have fun, not to go to the sea... needless to say, I wasn't too impressed go to Lucja in the suburbs of Portoroz, it's a bit nicer... or else take a hike out to the statue garden Piran is just down the road from it, and it's 1000000 much nicer
This is only under tourist trap as I was lead to believe it was just up a few steps .huh! nearly 600, but it was worth it glad I saw it .To get there in the first place, starting at the bus drop off near to the cable car, walk forward along the road for 4.5km, I jumped out in front of a fourwheel drive and flagged them down, a young couple from Virginia in the States wondered what the problem was, I asked them for a lift and they kindly agreed saved a long walk in the heat, anyway turned out I helped them too as they visited the waterfall too and as they were looking for accomodation I told them of a guest house in a lovely area which I saw them at later that day.On the map this is called Slap Slavica.
In the neighbouring village Portoroz, which is much more touristic, prices are up to 50% higher! ..... More over: The local wine (wheather red or white) is always described as 'very good' - it isn´t! OK, you will have to taste it, but don´t expect too much ;-)
Tourist industry facilities of all kinds. Be aware of this business. Its purpose is not life and your happiness but its own profit. It doesn't care what you will learn and experience. It likes dummies since there is less work with them. And dummies like it, because there is less work for them. A kind of symbiosis. But, one can live decently only if he takes the destiny in his own hands. We all knew this, isn't it? At least at the deep beginning.
I can't remember any apparent tourist traps, but here are some suggestions as to what may be traps:- being taken to Bled lake island by pletna (a typical boat)- riding Lipizaner ponies at Lipica (terribly expensive, as much as I can remember)- going to Portoroz- eating Bled cream cakes anywhere but in Bled - they have to be fake!
Slovenes are an honest bunch and I did not experience any 'tourist traps'. However, everything is so cheap, being ripped off would probably go unnoticed! Bled is apparently (and understandably) heaving with visitors in the summer so perhaps that would be a tourist trap?!
Side two bears various drawings and music.These banknotes were replaced by €uro banknotes on January 2007. €uro banknotes are the same on both sides across the whole €uro zone.
Don't come only to see historic centre of capital. It is charming but there are other places in Slovenia, too. ;)
Fijaker - the horse and cart men who take you for trips around the area. Sorry, but for me anything with horses and carts is a tourist trap. You certainly won't catch me in the vicinity!

Q: My husband and I are planning two nights in July - is it better to base ourselves In Bled or Bohinj, or do one night in each?
A: Personally I liked Bohinj more mainly because it's more remote & natural. You can wander through the woods and discover Slap Savica, by crossing wooden bridges, climbing...
