Slovenia Travel Guide

Slovenia a country in Central Europe that lies in the eastern Alps at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea, with Austria to the north, Italy to the southwest, Hungary to the northeast and Croatia to the south.

Slovenia is the only country in Europe that combines the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Pannonian Plain and the Karst. The changing landscape is constantly surprising, time and again. You can have one eye on the sea, then look in the other direction and be surrounded by high mountains. Heading up into the forests, you can see the green plains below you. From upland meadows your view stretches into river gorges. This proximity of opposites and contrasts is a hallmark of the country.

Slovenia has numerous sites of special natural interest, with features of all four main areas: the Alps, the Mediterranean, the Karst and the Pannonian Plain. It also has a wealth of diverse architecture and urban design. You can truly feel at home in Slovenias towns.

Slovenia has a population of two million, of whom the vast majority are ethnic Slovenes. People hailing from the other former Yugoslav republics make up a significant minority, albeit less than 10% of the total population. The Italian and Hungarian ethnic communities have protected minority status, despite their small size.

For a small country, Slovenes are fiercely proud of their culture. Two names you will run into over and over again are national poet France Preeren (1800–1849), who penned (among other things) the Slovenian national anthem, and the architect Joe Plecnik (1872–1957), credited with Ljubljana's iconic Tromostovje bridges and, seemingly, half the modern buildings in the country. It was the monks of the Catholic Church that kept Slovene alive over the centuries of relentless Germanization from the north. As a result Slovene survived in its unique form different than Serbo–Croatian to the south. Part of both the countryside and city architecture in Julian Alps shares a lot in common with neighboring Austria, including countless roadside shrines and pretty baroque steeples, giving the interior of the nation a truly alpine flavor.

Things to do

There are many great opportunities for activity holidays in Slovenia: The mountains and rivers of the Julian Alps provide the perfect location for hiking, mountain biking, rafting and kayaking. The southern part of Slovenia is an area of numerous caves. You can enjoy different spa resorts in the eastern part, take a dive in the Adriatic Sea, experience the Slovene cities, go skiing, or enjoy in the countryside tasting Slovene cuisine and local wine.

Slovenia offers the chance to take part in sports activities, and enjoy unforgettable experiences, every day of the year. A vital element is that they take place in nature, and thus have a beneficial impact on your feelings and health. Of course, some activities depend on the season. In the winter there are the ski slopes, in the summer water sports and aerial adventures, and in the spring and autumn the vivid colours of hiking and biking trails.

In Slovenia, you come across different historical eras at every turn. Truly old items are preserved primarily in museums, but archaeological finds can also be seen in their natural setting. Slovenia's natural diversity further emphasises the attraction of important buildings. Slovenian castles are amazing, and the many rural hilltop churches are charming. Cultural–historical monuments and architectural masterpieces can be found in most Slovenian towns

Slovenia's natural health resorts, thermal spas and wellness centres are pillars of what Slovenia has to offer people for whom health and wellness are important. They combine centuries of tradition, experience of thermal baths and modern findings of experts dedicated to healthy minds and bodies. They are also part of the cream of Slovenian tourist destinations, offering exceptional opportunities for sporting activities, fun, culinary pleasures and quality accommodation.

They are not a place for gambling addicts, but for people who love entertainment above all. The casinos in Slovenian cities and tourist destinations are first and foremost an extension to the top–quality services provided by hotels and restaurants, and to their cultural and entertainment events. Gambling in Slovenia is strictly regulated, and is only open to those aged 18 and over.

Slovenia inspires with its beauty and places of interest. There is so much to choose from, it is sometimes hard to decide where to go
