Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiA tiny corner of Europe with only a touch over two million residents, Slovenia is both an ideal aside to the more expansive glories of nearby Italy, Austria and Croatia, and an appetizing destination in its own right. Considering its diminutive size, Slovenia’s variety is astonishing, with the range of fairytale castles, vineyards, rushing rivers (perfect for rafting) and a potent local mixed-fruit brandy to wash it all down with.
Ljubljana, the lively capital, is presided over by a hilltop castle, and home to nearly everything essential in Slovenia, from the National Gallery to the Trail of Remembrance. It’s the little things that charm, however: the street musicians standing guard on Ljubljana’s bridges, the striking alternative pubs, and the remarkable views over the city and out to the snow-capped mountains from the castle’s windows.
Out in the countryside, though, still more memorable beauty is just waiting to be discovered. There are flower-filled alpine meadows at Logarska Dolina. Then there are the unmoving waters of a delicate mountain lake at Bohinj, sat in the shadow of the magnificent Mt Triglav. Bogojina, meanwhile, is home to a whitewashed church, complete with tiny tower that sits amongst sunflower-strewn valleys and delicate bordering trees.
Exploring the aged local culture is another great way to pass the time, with buildings like the dramatic Predjama Castle, which squeezes into the mouth of a considerable cave, both odd an imposing. Franja Partisan Hospital – the secret World War II lifesaver – still stands tall as a defiant tale of courage, while Pleterje Monastery, an ancient abbey that’s home to monks who’ve vowed to remain silent, feels like the last few centuries never happened. Skocjan Caves are home to a raging underground river, as well as vast underground expanses just waiting to be explored.
All the sites are remarkably close together, and fit in perfectly amongst the more everyday aspects of Slovenian culture, like sampling likrofi, a cheesy ravioli, in Lubjlana’s backstreets, or indulging in an assortment of flaky, seed-topped pastries. Slovenia might not feature amongst Europe’s classic destinations, but the quality and quantity of its sites invariably astounds.

LjubljanaThe heart of scenic Slovenia, Ljubljana is a historic city dating back to the days when founder Jason is said to have fought and killed the resident dragon, now a symbol of the fantastically ornate city. Old Ljubljana in particular is something special, having somehow brushed aside Soviet influences and retained the fairytale monuments, bridges, fountains and old-world houses that dominated the city many years ago.
Aside from the dragon iconography, the ‘Three Bridges’ are the stand out attraction of Ljubljana, oddly built right next to each other downtown, and home to lavish statues of local poets. Just down the road is the inevitable dragon bridge (guarded by four large statues) and you’ll find the castle at the top of an extremely steep road nearby, too. Ljubljana Castle sits at the peak of a wooded hillside in the heart of the city, and inside you’ll find whitewashed buildings surrounding a sizeable courtyard and epic views of the city from the height of the tower.
The Square of the Republic is a spot close to the heart of Slovenes, as the corner of the capital where the country declared its independence from Yugoslavia back in the early 90s, and since then the parliament building and nude statues that surround the square have seen almost exclusively good: Slovenia’s economic development has been substantial, the EU have bought political stability and the tiny nation is quickly establishing itself on the international tourist map. The vibe of this lively city reflects the progress.
The fiercely nationalist museums make for a great insight into the local psyche, while those who prefer a bit of a messy night out will be pleased to find that the local nightlife still feels like a celebration. Of course, the city also makes for the perfect gateway into the rest of Slovenia, with all the extensive transport links you’d expect from a capital.
It might be a relatively small capital, but Ljubljana makes up for it in pure picturesque beauty, and leaves most of the increasing array of visiting tourists raving.Ljubljana, Slovenia
