Lake Bled Castle

If you are traveling from the capital Ljubljana to the lake for the day, the train operates hourly if not more and is an hour or less. So it’s very easy to make it a day trip!

Are you traveling from Lake Bled to Italy? There is no train that crosses the boarder between the counties. Read about how to Train from Lake Bled to Venice.

Lake Bled had 2 train stations, Lesce Bled train station requires an hour walk to the lake or a quick bus ride down to the Lake Bled. Bled Jezero train station is on the “far side” of the lake and is much closer, however not all trains arrive to this station. Once in town you will find many restaurants and stores to shop among, and many more things to do. Best of all, the view of the beautiful lake nestled in the Julian Alps.
