Slovenia is a Central European country surrounded by Italy, Hungary, Austria, Croatia, and the Adriatic Sea, and is often called the “crossroads of the Balkans.” It equals its neighbors in natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and a rich cultural heritage.
Cold, snowy winters and warm sunny summers make Slovenia the perfect holiday destination in any weather. Well, it depends on whether you like skiing or swimming. Doesn’t it? The alpine valley is ideal for winter holidays while the 46m stretch of beaches on the Adriatic sea are perfect for some sun and sea. Add to that the beautiful natural parks, historical monuments, wine-making regions, Balkan and Mediterranean cuisines, and more, Slovenia is sure to tick all the right boxes.
