Where Should I go: Inner Hebrides or Bled?
Inner Hebrides
The Inner Hebrides are a chain of islands off the west coast of Scotland that feature some of the most beautiful landscapes and beaches in the country. The islands are practically untouched by modern times, making it the ideal place to explore ancient history while taking in the peace and tranquility of the surroundings. The best time of year to visit is from May to September when temperatures are between 60-75° Fahrenheit and rain is minimal. This is also an ideal time for beachgoers as sea temperatures are at their warmest during these months.
Bled
Bled is an incredibly scenic place, on the east side of Lake Bled. The lake is a beautiful, rich, emerald green. There's a small island in the middle of the lake where you'll find a nice white chapel. The lake is surrounded by striking green mountains, among which you'll find the Bled Castle overlooking the scene. Bled also offers access to the nearby Triglav National Park, a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies. Within the national park you'll find countless waterfalls and the lovely Lake Bohinj. You can find plenty of opportunities for mountain climbing, rafting, and hiking. There's even a cable car if you're looking for an easy way to get some good views of the mountains and landscape.
