The Festival takes place at the Rikli Balance Hotel Congress Centre, located in the heart of Bled. With breathtaking views of crystal-clear Lake Bled, its charming island church, medieval Bled Castle, and the majestic Julian Alps, the venue blends modern facilities with the serene atmosphere of Slovenia’s most iconic destination.

Often described as the jewel of the Slovenian Alps, Bled is a place where nature, culture, and hospitality come together in perfect harmony. Beyond the chessboard, players and guests can enjoy local cuisine, lakeside walks, and scenic mountain trails.
