Country Guides: Slovenia

Despite the increase in tourist numbers, Slovenia remains a quiet country that avoids the crowds of its neighbours. With just a short time there and you’ll understand its popularity: the beauty of Lake Bohinj and the magnificent Julian Alps in the north, the pristine beaches and mysterious Škocjan caves in the southwestern corner, and the charm of the capital Ljubljana. It encompasses all the best of Eastern Europe.

Bus is the easiest and often the only way to get around this beautiful country, with a network that reaches into most areas. For some of the more remote regions, car rental is viable, with prices low and roads well-maintained.
