Experts' Choice Award Church of the Assumption
What the experts agree on
Perched on Bled Island and accessible only by boat, this 15th-century church captivates with its iconic setting, ornate gold altar, and the famous "wishing bell." The steep 99-step climb adds romance but requires genuine determination.

Afar Magazine "Once settled, you'll leisurely glide through floating flocks of ducks and geese as you make your way across the lake." Full review
