- The castle funicular runs every 10 minutes. Most of the old town is pedestrianised. Park at Kongresni trg or the Tivoli parking garage and walk in. Pre-book pletna boat tickets to the island in summer. Arrive at Ojstrica viewpoint before 7am for the lake without crowds. Try the local kremna rezina cream cake at Park Café. Book outdoor activities at least a day ahead in July and August. The Vršič Pass road (50 hairpin bends) is a spectacular link back towards Bled but avoid it in large campervans. Park in the large coastal car park on the north side of the old town and walk 5 minutes in. Cars are banned inside the walls. The town fills with day-trippers by 11am.
