Overview

Slovenia

The gateway to Eastern Europe, don't be fooled by Slovenia's small size; after all, who hasn't heard of "good things come in small packages"? With a variety of stunning landscapes; from soaring mountains and alpine forests, to pristine lakes and Adriatic coastline, Slovenia is ideal for a variety of holidays whether you're after adrenaline thrills or gourmet discoveries. Not (yet) overrun by tourists, you're guaranteed a tranquil getaway. Start your journey in the picturesque capital city Ljubljana to get your bearings - from here it's not far to the glamorous seaside resorts of Piran and Portoroz, or the protected Triglav National Park in the Julian Alps. You'll feel a world away from home, but at only a two hour flight away, Slovenia is a lot closer than you think!

Our Editorial team's advice

See the oldest vine in the world in Maribor! If there's one sight you shouldn't miss though, it's that of Lake Bohinj under the early morning mist... Although there are some great festivals on in the summer, travel in the shoulder seasons of May, September and October.
