Postojna Caves & Lipica stud farm (Slovenia, optional)

A full-day tour to the breathtaking subterranean caverns of the Postojna Caves, carved over thousands of years by the Pivka River.

Marvel at the 325ft high Campanile de San Marco, the magnificent bell tower. Take a walk over the Rialto Bridge, one of Venice’s most famous sights located in the heart of the city, an ideal spot to watch the activity of the boats on the Grand Canal below.
