We drove into Ljubljana at the tail end of a 2-week road trip in Croatia and Slovenia.
What followed was an exciting medley of sights and activities that I never thought could fit comfortably into a 5-day road trip. From the beautiful and charming Ljubljana, we explored medieval castles and towns, saw spectacular caves, and drove past stunning landscapes. We hiked up a mountain and through a ravine.
We spent mornings in cafés and afternoons by the lake, all while eating delicious local cuisine and having fun and lighthearted conversations with friendly locals and happy travelers.

Ljubljana is the perfect destination for a relaxing city break.
Even though it’s Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana has a small-town charm and laidback atmosphere – you’ll never feel overwhelmed or rushed here. The locals are friendly and there are also plenty of green spaces, making it a truly relaxing holiday destination.
South Korea is mostly known for being modern – even futuristic.
And when you’re in the major cities like Seoul and Busan, you can see this everywhere with all the towering buildings, ultra-bright city lights, and high-speed Internet. Even their tourism organizations highlight the country’s dynamism and rapid progress.
Despite this, however, pockets of cultural destinations where visitors can catch a glimpse of Korea’s splendid past remain. One such destination is Gyeongju – the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Silla, home of some of the best Buddhist art in the Far East.
If you’re into ancient cultures and traditions – or just want a break from the fast cars and bright lights of South Korea’s bustling cities – take a day trip to Gyeongju, South Korea’s ancient capital.
