Salzburg to Bled needs a complete rail-and-local-transport journey. The plan then moves through Bohinj, Ljubljana and Piran before Venice. Piran to Venice is a separate coastal connection, not the Ljubljana–Venice bus. Keep the lake arrival days light. Give Piran its full second day for the upper streets and a seafood meal. In Venice, use the actual arrival stop to plan the last walk or boat to your room.

How this route fits together
Salzburg to Bled needs a complete rail-and-local-transport journey. The plan then moves through Bohinj, Ljubljana and Piran before Venice. Piran to Venice is a separate coastal connection, not the Ljubljana–Venice bus.
Choose the visits that matter
Keep the lake arrival days light. Give Piran its full second day for the upper streets and a seafood meal. In Venice, use the actual arrival stop to plan the last walk or boat to your room.
Guides for this part of the trip
Salzburg · Lake Bled · Lake Bohinj · Ljubljana · Piran. Each guide explains local arrivals, food stops and the ticket choices for a stay.
If you have less time
To reduce moves, choose one lake base. To shorten the whole trip, finish in Slovenia and arrange the journey home there rather than merely deleting Venice’s nights.
Plan the Italy days
Venice. Use these guides for room locations, visits and local travel. The revised day notes allow for the actual arrival points and keep paid admissions separate from the basic overnight and meal amounts.
Build the budget from nights and days
The day figures add up to €2,476.00 for one traveller before the extra costs below. Day notes show accommodation, meals, local travel and small extras. The private-room line buys the whole room; divide only that part when sharing. The Italy and Vatican outing figures use chosen allowances; other-country day amounts remain as previously listed. The final day has no extra overnight allowance in the Italian section.
Add paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport travel. Replace the stay amount with the full booking cost, including taxes and cleaning. The city budget cards are an alternative way to plan the same days, so do not add them on top of this subtotal.
