City in Slovenia

Kranj

3 things to see

Slovenia’s third-largest city perches above the dramatic Kokra gorge that cuts directly beneath its medieval old town. The compact old town is free to wander, and the cliff-edge walkways above the gorge cost nothing. Sitting close to Ljubljana airport and noticeably cheaper than Ljubljana itself, Kranj works as a budget base for the Julian Alps, Lake Bled, and the wider Gorenjska region. Spring and autumn keep prices and crowds down while the Alps stay accessible.
