Slovenia

Slovenia is my kind of country: it has mountains, lakes, and such good hiking, it makes sitting down for dinner feel like a proper achievement. And the people are nice! Lake Bled gets most of the attention, but I’d rather give the Julian Alps, Lake Bohinj, and the Soča Valley much more room on a Slovenia itinerary.

Ljubljana is a charming capital for an easy city break that won't swallow up half the trip. Beware the country looks deceptively small on the map and can surprise you with how much you'll end up trying to fit into your trip.

My Slovenia travel guide brings together the best places to visit in Slovenia, my practical travel tips, and itineraries that make sense (and are already planned to the smallest detail). All content in this Slovenia travel guide is based on my real experiences—honest tips, and tested itineraries to help you get the most of your trip to Slovenia.
