Camping and Camper Stop near Ljubljana

Small enough to explore on foot, gorgeous Ljubljana (15 minutes’ drive) may well be your first stop. Stroll around streets lined by pastel-hued buildings and along the Ljubljanica River to get your bearings before taking the funicular up to the hilltop castle for views over red rooftops. Have a whizz around the decorative arts and Impressionist paintings at the National Gallery, or check out the ornate baroque interior of the Cathedral of Saint Nicholas. Wind up your sightseeing with a selfie by the famed Dragon Bridge and then put your feet up with a cold beer in a riverside café. For more rural pursuits, grab your walking boots and head up through forest to the peak of Murovica (10 minutes), and it’s also well-worth the climb up the metal viewing tower at Rašica (45 minutes) for spectacular views over the Julian Alps. On family days out with the kids, admire the vibrant flower displays at Arboretum Volčji Potok (25 minutes), or take gentle rambles with mountain views around the Geometric Centre of Slovenia (25 minutes).
