We will be ending our Best of Eastern Europe trip in Lake Bled on a Tuesday morning in September and will fly out early the next morning from Ljubljana. Should we stay in Lake Bled or Ljubljana? Hotel suggestions or travel suggestions?

Janet.. I would stay in Ljubljana..but I'm biased...love that city! I would take the bus from Bled, bus stop is easy to get to, buses leave every hour from 0500 to 2000 and take 1hr. 18 min. you can check schedual at www.ap-ljubljana.si/eng/ we have taken the bus from Ljubljana to the airport but find we prefer to have hotel arrange transport especially if an early flight.The Hotel Emonec is basic and clean...and in a great location by Presernov Trg

I would definitely take the bus to Ljubljana, 1hour 15 min. It is a lovely city. There are many beauiful buildings-Art Nouveau, Secessionist, & Art Deco. Many were designed by the same architect, Plecnik, who whose work one sees in Prague. I had a super meal at Zlata Ribca restaurant. I stayed at the Stari Tisler, 36 euros--the weekend rate. I suspect that it is a older hotel that has been restored. Everything in the room was new including the TV. However, the toliet and bathroom was down the hall. I think I was the only one on that floor.
Downstairs is a good cafe.
Enjoy!

The airport is between Ljubljana and Lake Bled, so either would work logistically. I'd suggest going to Ljubljana for you last night though, as you only get a short stop there on the tour and it's well worth another day. Public bus works fine from Lake Bled to Ljubljana. If you have an early flight, best to arrange transport to the airport through your hotel the day before.
