Learn more about Slovenia

Best time to visit slovenia.

Slovenia is a beautiful destination no matter what time of the year it is, and every season has its attractions. While the coast heats up over summer, the Julian Alps continue to experience more moderate temperatures. In winter, snow falls over the mountains and can get very cold, but the lowlands and coastal areas of the south enjoy much milder weather. Spring sees bursts of wildflowers through the alpine meadows and autumn brings gorgeous reds and oranges.

Geography and environment

Squeezed between   Austria ,   Italy ,   Hungary   and   Croatia , Slovenia is covered in snow-dusted peaks, mountain meadows and alpine lakes. The Julian Alps dominate the landscape in the north. Further south the limestone Karst hides intricate networks of caves. Slovenia’s Adriatic coastline leads into Croatia.

Top 5 active adventures in Slovenia

Get the legs pumping with a ride around Lake Bled, past 19th-century villas, grand hotels and the cliff-clinging castle. For some more two-wheeled adventures, head out to Vintgar Gorge.

The Julian Alps beckon to be explored. Hike one of the numerous trails, or take a cable car to Mt Vogel for a bird’s-eye view of the lake below.

3. Canyoning

Slovenia is filled with underground and ‘between’ ground canyoning opportunities. So if you don’t mind small spaces, discover some of Slovenia’s most secret places on a canyoning adventure.

4. River rafting

Try out some of Europe’s best white-water rafting. But be prepared to get wet.

Hire a traditional pletna and enjoy a boat ride across Lake Bled to its fairytale church. Ring the bell to have your wish granted.

The Europe of Days Gone By

Situated in Central Europe, the country of Slovenia may be small but it is the perfect place to get a big taste of Europe in a short amount of time. With a short stretch of coastline along the Adriatic Sea, you can experience Slovenia travel from a sandy beach to the snowy mountaintops of the Alps in a single day. But why rush? Slovenia is rich with beautiful diverse landscapes that include lakes, rivers, caves farms, and mountains. The region is also known for its health spas that offer weary travelers many ways to relax and unwind from their daily lives or exhilarating tours. Hugged by the countries of Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia, Slovenia is also the prime spot to use as a starting point of a multi-country tour. Slovenian cuisine is also influenced by these neighboring countries as well as inspired by what its local farmers specialize in producing.  All in all, a Slovenia vacation is well worth the trip and then some..

Destination Must-See's

You will find an idyllic setting in this popular resort town. Home to Slovenia’s only island, this alpine village sits on the edge of a big blue lake. This tiny island seemingly floats in the center with a white church steeple standing tall, and its historic castle majestically perched high on the hill, offering stunning views of the landscape below.

This picturesque capital city was awarded the name of Green Capital of Europe in 2016. One reason for its beauty is its location, the tree-lined banks of the Ljubljanica River runs through the heart of the city. Its largely pedestrian city center is the perfect place to explore or simply sit at a charming sidewalk café and enjoy a slice of local life.

Town Hall of Ljubljana:

Constructed in the late 15th century, it is used today as the seat of the Municipality of Ljubljana. Its present façade was updated in the early 18th century and is reminiscent of Venetian architecture. The inside is grand, and you will find many relics including a late Gothic plaque with a coat of arms that dates back to the original Town Hall.

Beautiful landscape:

Driving through Slovenia you will see an extraordinary variety of landscapes. In this small corner of Europe, you will often wonder if you have driven across several countries. At the crossroads of the Alpine, Mediterranean, Pannonian and Dinaric regions, you can see a bit of them all as you go. Towering mountains, rolling hills, vast plains, peaceful lakes, and the rugged sea…this is Slovenia.

Destination Must-Do's

Pletna boat:

Cruise along tranquil Lake Bled as people have done for centuries. Board a traditional Pletna boat made by locals that is unique to this lake. These boats with origins in the late 16th century seat about 20 people. They are wooded flat-bottom boats with colorful awnings that are powered by an oarsman rowing with two oars standing in the back of the boat. It is a truly local experience.

Lake Bled’s Wishing Bell:

You’ll find a small but impressive 17th century church with a 15th century bell tower that houses the famous "wishing bell." Legend says that a bell, created for the church in memorial of a lost love, sunk in depths of the lake along with its transport crew. After this tragedy the Pope consecrated a new bell for the tower. It is said that whoever rings it gives honor to Virgin Mary, and their wishes will come true.

Ljubljana Castle:

Explore this sprawling medieval fortress that overlooks the Slovenian capital city. Built by the Habsburgs in the 15th century with only a façade, towers and wooden barracks, it has evolved over centuries to a grand, romantic castle with an idyllic landscape. It is the perfect place to take a step back in time and watch the sun set, taking in the beautiful views of the town below.

Funicular ride to Castle:

Take a ride from old town up to Ljubljana Castle, an experience in itself. This modern convenience is more than a century in the making. Launched in 2006, this glass enclosed rail system transports visitors up and down a steep ledge of rock just outside the old city that was once a medieval defensive wall. The views are amazing and the ease has transformed tourism in the city.

Expert Advice

You will fall in love with the cuisine. It is a delicious mix of Italian and Eastern European – you may be picturing goulash and pizza. However, they take the best of both, and the combination is very tasty.

Tourism isn’t as prevalent here as it is in other European destinations. As a result, Slovenians are cheerful, friendly people who are always happy to see tourists. Because many travelers are not privy to its charms, it is the perfect country to visit to get a taste of the way much of Europe used to be.

Slovenia is the third most forested country in Europe. A whopping 60% of its land is forested and more than a third of its land is protected. The country plants over 1,200,000 trees each year to keep the forests and biodiversity thriving.

Looking for the best Slovenia itinerary? So was I, not so long ago. After my trip around Ljubljana, Bled, Lake Bohinj and Piran, I think I cracked the perfect route. In this guide, I’ll advise you how long to spend in each destination and what to do there, as well as other tips & tricks for making the most of your trip to this unbelievably beautiful country. Following the, ahem, events of 2020 and 2021, I was thrilled to visit Slovenia because it was my first new country in over 2 years. I’d run out of time when I was backpacking in Romania , Slovakia and Bulgaria in 2019 so it had been a long time coming.

How long to spend in Slovenia?

I spent 10 days in Slovenia and stayed overnight in four different places. However, you could see the big names (Ljubljana and Bled) in as little as 3 days if you’re pushed for time. Personally, I would recommend at least a 7 day Slovenia itinerary because you can get past the must-sees and check out a few other wonderful destinations.

Best time of year for a Slovenia itinerary

I would always recommend shoulder season to visit Slovenia. April to June and September to October offer pleasant weather, lower prices and reduced crowds compared to the busy summer months of July and August. During this season, small but popular destinations like Bled become totally overwhelmed and you’ll be lucky to find a spare bed! If you don’t mind the cold, you can even visit Slovenia in the winter . You’ll get bargains on accommodation and perhaps see the lakes frozen. Ljubljana also hosts Christmas markets .

Slovenia itinerary for up to 10 days

Now let’s get stuck into the details. I’ll share what to do in each place to help you plan a fun trip packed with sights, food and… well, more food!

Slovenia itinerary day 1 – Ljubljana

Most people’s Slovenia itinerary will start in the capital. You can get there by flight (I recommend Skyscanner for finding the cheapest tickets), car, bus (I arrived on the Flixbus ) or train . Ljubljana is a small but lovely city with a historic Old Town, castle, river with many impressive bridges, and places to eat and drink outside. Ljubljana is a fitting capital for Slovenia. Electric kavaliers transport people around (for free!), the main statue in the central square is of a poet not a war hero, and there are large green spaces for picnics and woodland walks. The city is developed and systems are efficient but nature and culture are prioritised. It feels like a blueprint for how cities should be.

Ljubljana Castle

The 12th-century castle houses several interesting museums within its interior, alongside offering the best views of the city from the tower. You can take a steep but short hike there or catch the to Ljubljana Castle funicular.

Entry to the castle starts from €12 and tickets including the funicular start from €16. There are various packages on offer including a ‘time machine’ guided tour, an escape castle experience and wine tours.

Things to do in Ljubljana:

• Start the day with a free walking tour to learn about the city
• See the buildings and statues in Prešeren Square
• Feel cultured at the many museums and galleries including the Museum of Contemporary History and the National Gallery
• Drink famous orange wine and other local varieties with Wine Tasting Ljubljana
• Browse the Central Market and eat lunch at My Dumpling or Kodila Gourmet
• Stop for an afternoon drink on Petkovšek Embankment
• Take a leisurely walk in Tivoli Gardens, the largest green space in the city complete with tranquil ponds, flowers, woodland, and interesting art works.
• Go for a sunset drink at the top of Nebotični skyscraper
• Wander quirky outdoor arts centre, Metelkova, a unique creative hub where alternative locals hang out to enjoy the graffiti and unique homegrown art works.

Where to eat & drink in Ljubljana

Now for the important stuff! I ate so much in Ljubljana, once during my first trip when my friend Kerrie and I were catching up after being separated for the turbulent years 2020-21. We had terrible weather so spent most of the trip in cafes and bars. During my second trip solo, I ate and drank even more! I don’t mean to brag (okay, that’s a lie) but I offer the BEST food advice. Here were some of the highlights.

• Atmospheric Slovenian restaurant – Figovec
• Slovenian lunch cafe – Kodila Gourmet
• Famous dumpling cafe – My Dumpling
• Best cake cafe – Cacao
• Best cafe serving local desserts – Pri Vodnjaku 
• Social enterprise – Second Violin
• Best veggie restaurant – Gujžina
• Best brunch – Ek Bistro
• Best Asian takeaway – Niam Niam
• Best drunk food – Burek Olimpija
• International eats – Abi Falafel , El Patrón Tacos & Store , Riksa wok
• Top tea house – Cajnica gallus
• Speciality coffee – Črno Zrno .

Alternatively, if you’re an indecisive foodie and want someone to pick the best food spots for you, then this 3.5-hour Ljubljana Food & Wine tour is perfect for you. You’ll sample 4 wines alongside dishes that represent the best regional cuisines in Slovenia.

Where to stay in Ljubljana

• Hostel – I heard great things about Hotel Celia inside a refurbished prison! It’s had a funky refurb and hosts events and activities. (Note – I hear it can be a bit loud at night. If that’s an issue, try the Sax Pub Hostel – guests note it’s cosy, relaxed and quiet, despite sharing a building with a friendly pub).
• Budget hotel – for a clean, spacious hotel with indoor & outdoor seating, White House Bela Hiša has coffee machines in every room and fantastic reviews. Book from €75 .
• Splash out hotel – treat yourself at uHOTEL with its rooftop wellness centre, swimming pool, fitness centre and renowned buffet breakfasts. Book from €120 .
• Apartments – check out Stella Sky with equipped studios and swimming pools with city views and Castle View Apartments with hot tubs and private parking.
• Browse all Ljubljana hotels on Booking.com and hostels on Hostelworld .

1 or 2 days in Ljubljana?

If your itinerary for Slovenia is tight, it’s easy to see the highlights of Ljubljana in a day. I’d prioritise a free walking tour, lunch at Central Market, walking up to the Castle and visiting a museum or gallery. With a second day, you can see the city at your leisure, spending a full afternoon relaxing in Tivoli Gardens if you have good weather. You’ll also have time for alternative attractions like Metalkova arts centre and Trubarjeva Cesta street with its diverse cafes and restaurants. If you enjoy the Ljubljana nightlife and take a bar crawl , you’ll appreciate the extra day to relax.

So, if you like the sound of taking it slow, dedicate an extra day to Ljubljana!

Slovenia itinerary day 2 – Predjama Castle & caves

One of the best surprises of my Slovenia itinerary was visiting the vast Postojna Cave complex and finishing the day at Predjama Castle built into a karst cliff. I hadn’t researched these destinations much because I’d been told I couldn’t take a day trip to them both by public transport. As a result, I booked a GetYourGuide day tour and waited to find out about them when I got there. It’s nice to switch off and let someone else do the work sometimes! Both were impressive but Postojna Cave was my highlight.

Postojna Cave

This vast underground wonderland is 3 million years old with eerie sculptures and 100-year-old lizards that only eat once a decade! A ticket gets you a mini railway ride and a guided tour. It’s undeniably touristic so might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Predjama Castle

Predjama is an 800-year-old castle lodged in a karst cliff complex. In high season, you can visit the cave complex under the castle. Here I heard the folklore tale that the Erazem of Predjama was killed on the toilet after being betrayed by one of his servants. Ouch! Browse cave and castle tours:

Budget tip – for a day trip, I’d suggest bringing a packed lunch and eating it in the castle grounds. There’s a decent restaurant onsite but, as is to be expected, prices are inflated.

Skocjan Caves

If you’re visiting Predjama and Postojna, there’s another set of caves just a 20-minute drive away in the town of Divača. UNESCO world heritage Škocjan Caves are more than 200 metres deep with 6km of passageways. Take a guided tour of the karstic complex (€18), follow the Reka River underground for 3-5 kilometres or take an above-ground 2km loop along the Škocjan Education Trail. From Ljubljana, you can drive, take a train to Divača or an Arriva bus .

Slovenia itinerary days 3-4 – Bled

A spot that I’m sure will be on everyone’s ideal Slovenia itinerary is world-famous Lake Bled. The town of Bled is where you’ll stay overnight but it’s not very exciting: it’s more of a launching point for exploring the wonderful lake. I visited in May and had perfect weather: not too hot but beautifully clear. The Julian Alps were still snow-capped. Just two days later at Lake Bohinj, the weather sucked so I’m happy the rain gods played ball for me here!

Things to do around Lake Bled

• Walk around the lake path (which takes a couple of hours depending how often you stop to snap photos and lust over the views) or hire an e-bike
• Explore from the water by taking a stand-up paddleboarding tour or by gliding across the lake in a transparent kayak .
• Hike up to Osojnica viewpoint on the opposite side of Lake Bled from the town. It’s a one-hour steep hike with lots of steps but the views are just phenomenal!
• For a real bucket list experience, go paragliding ! A few people in my hostel did this and loved it
• Visit Bled Castle dating back to 1004. Even if you don’t want to pay the €17 entry (my hostel were quite honest and told me it’s not worth it), it’s a nice hike to the summit
• Hire a paddleboat at a cost of around €16 an hour
• Board a pletna (taxi boat) to take you to the island
• On the island: climb 99 steps to the Assumption of Mary Church bell tower and ring the Wishing Bell, thought to make your desires come true.

Honest thoughts – the ticket to ring the Wishing Bell and climb the tower on the island was expensive at €10 and neither attraction was very impressive. The only thing I was wishing for my money back!

As a solo traveller, the only downside to visiting Lake Bled was wanting to hire a paddleboat but not having anyone to split the costs and rowing with. I hoped to meet people in the hostel but alas, no one’s sightseeing plans lined up with mine. Still, I can’t complain because Bled is paradise! I had a great time.

Bled cream cake

No Slovenia travel itinerary would be complete without eating Bled cream cake (Blejska Kremna). I had it twice in two days. It tasted better than it looked with a layer of sweet custard and a layer of cream sandwiched between flaky pastry dusted with icing sugar. More than 15 million portions have allegedly been served and I can see why! Try it at:

• Confectionery Zima – this is one of the OG places to eat cream cake with a history of more than 50 years.
• Grajska Plaza Restaurant – here I ate Bled cream cake with beautiful views of the lake. The cake itself was a little better at the first place but it was still very tasty and the views are unrivalled.

Where else to eat in Bled

• Mega Burger Bled – although it doesn’t look much from the outside, this takeaway place serves amazing burgers with loads of options including truffle burgers in black buns, fried chicken burgers, veggie burgers, wraps and healthy boxes. Grab a burger and eat it by the lake.
• Oštarija Peglez’n – I can’t rave about this place enough and, with over 2,000 reviews almost all positive, neither can anyone else it seems! It’s an atmospheric restaurant with a local feel and shaded courtyard area. Slovenian food like meat, seafood and pasta comes in enormous portions. I had a giant chicken fillet with ham, cream sauce, crispy potatoes and roasted veggies.
• Pizzeria Rustika – I didn’t have time to eat here but my hostel recommended it. The reviews mention fantastic pizzas and indoor & outdoor seating areas.
• Old Cellar Bled – for excellent risottos, pastas and other dishes with creative ingredients plus fantastic local wines, don’t miss this atmospheric evening venue.

Where to stay in Lake Bled

• Hostel – I stayed at Bled Hostel which was a great base with cooking facilities, a bar and friendly staff who will give you maps and help you organise everything about your trip. Highly recommended! Book from €20 .
• Budget hotel – a great option is Nature Hotel Lukanc with comfy rooms, parking and a garden area. Check availability from €90 .
• Mid-range hotel – just 2 minutes from the beach and set inside a 19th-century mansion, Vila Prešeren is a charming base. Check availability from €120 .
• Apartments – for all your home amenities, check out Apartments Mojca and Apartments Skok .
• Browse all Bled accommodation on Booking.com and Hostelworld .

Half a day in Vintgar Gorge

Even if you have just 7 days in Slovenia, I’d suggest squeezing in a trip to Vintgar Gorge while visiting Bled. This natural paradise is one of the loveliest places I visited with a cool, misty climate even on a hot day.

The gorge is huge, reaching 1600 metres in length and 250 metres in depth, with the vibrant blue Radovna River gracefully cutting through the jagged rocks below.

You have superb views as you meander along wooden boardwalks built into the cliff, narrow passages, and bridges. At the end, you’re treated to the magnificent sight of a 16-metre waterfall. Entry to Vintgar Gorge costs €10. Operating with a one-way system, you’ll start at the ticket gate near Podhom village and end at Waterfall Šum near scenic St. Katherine Church . The gorge is closed during the Winter.

How to visit Vintage Gorge from Bled: walk (but make sure to bring enough water and sunscreen as there’s no shade), ride an e-bike , take a shuttle bus or drive. Even if you want to see Vintgar Gorge but you’re not staying overnight in Bled, it’s possible. Tours from Ljubljana visit Lake Bled & Vintgar Gorge during one day.

Slovenia itinerary days 5-6 – Bohinj

I added this second lake town to my Slovenia itinerary as an afterthought and I’m so glad I did. I wondered if it would underwhelm after spectacular Lake Bled but I was stunned by its beauty. Lake Bohinj is a lot bigger than Lake Bled and has different activities on offer. It’s a highly seasonal destination as you can swim in the waters of up to 24 degrees in summer but the lake often freezes in winter!

Read next: guide to visiting Lake Bohinj, Slovenia

Things to do around Lake Bohinj

• Take a boat ride across the lake between Bohinj town and Camp Bohinj. This sightseeing boat has the dual purpose of transporting you to the start of the Savica Waterfall hike & the Vogel Cable Car.
• Hike to Savica Waterfall . Although there’s a car park and restaurant at the beginning of the hike, you can make it longer by starting at Camp Bohinj and walking through the Fairy Trail forest. If you’re super energetic and don’t mind a 4-hour return walk, you can even start in Bohinj town and hike along the north bank of the lake.
• Hike in Mostnica Gorge , a beautiful wooded area 6km from Bohinj. I hiked all the way to Planinska mountain hut serving hearty meals, beers and honey tea with jaw-dropping views of the valley.
• Ride the Vogel Cable Car to Vogel Ski Resort. Even if you don’t ski, it’s worth visiting the top for the best views around.
• Hire a kayak or canoe to explore the lake or go swimming.

For a 5 day Slovenia itinerary with a car, base either in Bohinj, Bled or anywhere in between for the final 3 nights and spend a day in each lake town then a day in Vintgar Gorge or Triglav Nat Park.

Where to stay in Lake Bohinj

• Hostel Pod Voglom – I stayed here and it was cheap with great buffet breakfasts including access to a cheese toastie machine! However, the place hasn’t been renovated for decades so don’t stay expect any luxury! Book from €22 .
• Hotel – stay at Bohinj Eco Hotel for 4* peace and comfort, views of the Julian Alps and access to the wellness resort. Book from €120 .
• Apartments – check out Cvetek Apartment in Ribčev Laz, and Apartment House Jager just out of town.
• Browse all Bohinj accommodation on Booking.com and Hostelworld .

Where to eat in Bohinj

I survived on packed lunches and pasta in Bohinj as I was usually out hiking during the days and too tired to go for dinner when I returned. Still, I heard good things about the burgers at Foksner . A lovely place to enjoy drinks by the lake is Restavracija Kramar .

Slovenia itinerary for 7 days – Triglav National Park or Soča Valley

If you’re staying in Bled or Bohinj, you’re surrounded by national parks and nature. For your 7th day, consider one of the following: Triglav National Park : named after Mount Triglav, the highest peak in the Julian Alps at 2864m, this region incorporates Nadiža karst spring, Soča spring, Martuljek Waterfalls and countless other natural attractions. Browse Triglav tours and activities . Kranjska Gora : just north of Triglav is this alpine resort with options for climbing, hiking and, in the winter, skiing and other snow sports. Soča Valley : found in the east of Slovenia, this region is easily accessible from both lake towns. The Soča River is one of the most beautiful in Europe, bright emerald in colour with plenty of options for kayaking, rafting and canyoning. Another unmissable place is Vršič Pass, the highest mountain pass in Slovenia and a fantastic place for a hike. Top activities & excursions include:

• Triglav National Park tour inc 3 nature hikes (€99)
• Julian Alps tour inc Kranjska Gora and Soca Valley from Bled (€80)
• Canyoning adventure from Bled (€74)
• Kayaking on the Soca River adventure (€58)
• Zipline over Sava River (€30)
• 3 day self-guided Mount Triglav and Lakes Valley hike from Bled inc accom & transport (€200) .

Slovenia itinerary days 8-10 – Istria

At the top of the Istrian peninsular (also home to parts of Croatia and Italy ), Piran and the surrounding region make an excellent addition to any Slovenia itinerary. This was my first stop after crossing the border from Croatia and it made for a wonderful introduction to Slovenia, even though it feels culturally distinct. With a 10-day Slovenia itinerary, you have time to spend the last 3 days exploring lovely Slovenian Istria.

Getting to Piran

From Ljubljana, drive in 1 hour 20 minutes or catch an Arriva bus in 2 hours 40 minutes. Some buses will drop in Portorož rather than Piran so hop on a quick €1 bus or in a taxi. From Bled or Bohinj, you can drive in around 2 hours or catch a bus transferring through Ljubljana or Trieste, Italy.

Things to do in Piran:

• Admire the key buildings in Tartini Square and stop for a coffee
• Walk the Walls of Piran dating back to the 7th century and offering spectacular views
• Climb to the bell tower of St. George’s Parish Church for yet more amazing views
• Visit the quirky Magical World of Shells Museum
• Take a walk around the headland . There are plenty of cafes and beach bars where you can drink in the views… And Aperol Spritz! Continue along Fiesa footpath until you’ve had your fill.

Where to eat in Piran, Slovenia

• Rostelin – two words: truffle pasta! They also serve other dishes but I only tried the tartuf fuži , a traditional type of pasta native to Istria. Large strips of pasta are cut diagonally to make diamond shapes.
• Fritolin Pri Cantini – right beside Rostelin, this is another highly-rated restaurant with outdoor seating. Mussels, sardines, whitebait and calamari are all on the menu. I heard great things but didn’t eat here because the menu is largely based around platters for multiple people and I was travelling solo.
• Ladja Podlanica Piran – the best meal I had in Piran was at this super local restaurant aboard a docked boat in the harbour. There’s no menu, just a few fresh seafood dishes of the day explained by the staff. It’s wonderful!
• Gostinstvo Jasmina Račan – this was another gem I stumbled upon with excellent reviews and quality local fare. The squid I had was super fresh and very affordable.
• Piran Pirano PastIccerIa – the best gelato in town with SO many flavours!

Where to stay in Piran

• Hotels – Art Hotel Tartini is decorated with art by Slovenian artists and has an enviable breakfast buffet (€120) / Hotel Piran is right in the centre of town with a restaurant, terrace and patio with sea views (€130)
• Apartments – traditional Piran house (€40)
• Browse all Piran accommodation on Booking.com and also check Portorož (a short bus ride away) for more options

More places to visit in Slovenian Istria

If you have limited time for the Istria leg of your Slovenia itinerary, I would recommend basing in Piran. It’s so charming! However, if you have any time for excursions, there are other places you can visit. Having a car here will enable you to see a lot more of the region in a short space of time.

This was where my Flixbus from Croatia arrived. Although I didn’t stay long, it’s a popular destination with a fancier vibe than Piran. There are hotels, beach bars and cafes. Cafe Central is known for its famous cakes so of course I swung by with all my luggage before heading to my accommodation in Piran. Priorities in check!

If you do prioritise longer in the spa town of Portorož during your Slovenia itinerary, there are a few things not to miss. If you’re staying for the seaside, then laze on Portorož Beach or Moon Bay (or rent a boat!), enjoy epic coastal views from the Strunjan Cliff path and try the local seafood. A more unique option is visiting the sculptures at Forma Viva – there are 120 ocean-side stone statues here, deftly melding art and nature together.

Due to its history as a spa destination, dating back to the 13th century when Benedictines from the monastery believed the nearby seawater and mud would help cure diseases and benefit health, it’s well worth trying a spa experience while you’re here (if your budget allows for it)! The Water Park Laguna Bernardin features a massive heated seawater pool, but many hotels feature spa treatments.

This traditional coastal town in Slovenian Istria is a lovely place to wander by the water or enjoy the many outdoor restaurants and cafes. You can see the main sites of Koper in half a day, giving you time to see the historic architecture and soak up the charming cafe-lined streets.

Visit Da Ponte Fountain (a replica of Rialto Bridge in Venice ), learn about the town at the regional museum, admire the 15th-century Praetorian Palace or pay €5 to climb 241 steps to the Bell Tower . Reach Koper from Piran in 25 minutes by car or catch a local bus.

This scenic fishing town has a couple of small beaches and several significant buildings including churches and palaces. The lack of huge must-dos means it’s sleepier and quieter than its neighbours: perfect if you hate crowds! Izola is halfway between Piran and Koper so makes an easy stop between the two.

If you do add Izola to your Slovenia itinerary, don’t miss the picturesque harbour, known for its colourful houses, cute fishing boats and the medieval Church of St. Mauro. Climb up 99 steps to the top of the church’s bell tower, built in 1356, for the best views in town. Next, wind through the quaint streets of the old town to see the Besenghi degli Ughi Palce and Manzioli Palace.

If you’re here for the seaside, relax on Svetilnik Beach, see the unique rock formations at Bele Skale Beach or wander down Izola Promenade. If you’re hungry, the promenade is also an excellent spot to find a seaview restaurant or cafe. You’ll also find plenty of spots for snorkelling and boating if you feel like taking to the water.

Alternate spots for your Slovenia itinerary

If somewhere above doesn’t take your fancy, there are several other places I can recommend. For an alternative to the classic itinerary, get off the beaten track at the following spots…

Maribor may be the second largest city in Slovenia however it’s still small by most country’s standards with less than 100,000 residents. The view from Pyramid Hill alone may be worth the trip to Maribor and that’s before discussing what the town is known for: wine! Wine fans may be interested to know that the world’s oldest grapevine can be found here at the aptly named Old Vine House in Lent district AKA the Old Jewish Quarter. But you’d be forgiven if history isn’t your bag and you just want to drink wine at the various tasting rooms around town! The Jeruzalem wine region is a spectacular hidden gem in Europe. For a summer road trip in Slovenia when tourist hotspots like Bled and Ljubljana are crowded and expensive, peaceful Maribor is a relaxed alternative that doesn’t compromise on beauty. The drive from Ljubljana takes 1.5 hours so you could consider visiting as a day trip or spending a leisurely couple of nights here.

The idyllic Slovenian town of Ptuj is just a 30-minute drive from Maribor so it’s worth a visit if you decide to add Maribor to your Slovenia travel itinerary. Like many historic European towns, it has a castle with fantastic sweeping views of the countryside and town’s typical red roofs. The locals’ fear of invasion has worked out very well for our photo-worthy travel shots! From Maribor, drive or take a taxi or the train (there’s also a bus but just one per day).

Vipava Valley

This is another lesser-visited wine region that may appeal to those who love hidden gems, sweeping scenery and, of course, delicious vino! This Vipava Valley region is very near the famous Škocjan Caves and Predjama Castle so, if you’re travelling with a car, it could be the perfect base from which to visit them while enjoying the Slovenian countryside peppered with wineries.

If sleepy wine regions don’t sound like your cup of tea (or wine), a contrasting area for adrenaline junkies is Bovec, nestled in northwest Slovenia. Located in the upper part of the Soča Valley, it’s not a million miles from the Julian Alps or Triglav National Park so can easily be combined into a Slovenia road trip itinerary, or you can catch a bus from Ljubljana. Activities in Bovec range from ziplining to rafting and kayaking on the Soča River. Virje Waterfall and Soča Gorge are spectacular points of natural interest.

Where next?

If you have more time to spend in Europe, consider crossing a border.

I spent 3 months living in Croatia so it’s somewhere I’ll always love and recommend to fellow travellers. The popular Dalmatian coastal cities like Split , Dubrovnik and Zadar aren’t especially close to Slovenia, however Zagreb is approximately a 2-hour journey by car, bus or train from Ljubljana. Ticking off the best things to do in Zagreb would make a cool 2-day city break. Likewise, if you’re visiting Piran, it’s only a short drive over the border in Istria to reach Croatian destinations like Pula and Rovinj . Pula has well-preserved Roman ruins and boat trips to the Brijuni Islands while Rovinj is ridiculously quaint and charming with fantastic food and colourful streets.

Read next: the ultimate Croatia itinerary

From Slovenian Istria, you’re just a few kilometres from Italy. The closest city is Trieste , a port city full of culture. The medieval Old Town takes influence from Italy, Slovenia and the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Visit Miramare Castle, eat seafood, tour the museums and enjoy being in the Italian city that consumes the most coffee! You can also reach Venice in under 2 hours from Ljubljana. This is what I did, catching the Flixbus at the end of my Slovenia itinerary and finally ticking Venice off my bucket list. This city can be expensive and crowded (and dirty compared to Slovenia) but it’s a wonder of our world. See it before it’s too late! After that, I continued my Northern Italy itinerary and departed from Milan airport. This would make a great route if you have the time and energy left over!

Slovenia FAQs

Is Slovenia expensive? I would say that Slovenia is not just between Western and Eastern Europe geographically but also in terms of cost. Hostels start from €10 a night, intercountry bus journies cost as little as €1 (that’s how much I paid between Lake Bohinj and Bled, although strangely the return journey cost €5) and meals in restaurants start from €6. However, in the summer, prices surge so it’s not a cheap detination between June and August! Can you drink tap water in Slovenia? Yes, it’s pristine! Is Slovenia safe? Incrediby so. It’s easily one of the safest places in Europe for solo travellers . I was there alone and felt very safe as a woman. The only place I had a slight problem with some shady characters was around Metelkova, an alternative live music and street art venue in Ljubljana. Is English spoken in Slovenia? Yes, locals speak amazing English and are happy to help you. But of course you should learn the local pleases and thank yous to be polite!

TRUSTED RESOURCES FOR VISITING SLOVENIA Getting around by air – I use Skyscanner and search by month to see the cheapest dates. Driving in Europ e – use Rentalcars.com to compare car rentals in European countries (and all around the world). For trains , I use Trainline . The search feature allows you to compare prices, and they show live departure times on the website. For buses , I use Flixbus . Find journeys between European countries from €1!  Use Omio to compare trains and buses in one search. It’s so handy! For hotels and self-catering apartments, I use Booking.com . You can filter by review score and price to find the best-rated budget places. For hostels, I use Hostelworld . To save money on accommodation, I use Trusted Housesitters , a website that connects homeowners going away and travellers who can sit their homes & pets. Browse tours and activities on GetYourGuide and Viator . Need travel insurance ? I use True Traveller (for UK & Europe residents) since it’s affordable but covers everything you’d need including various activities, valuables and pre-existing conditions. Unlike some companies, they insure you if you’re already travelling / don’t yet have your flight home booked. Get a quote . For travel insurance for other nationalities, I recommend Hey Mundo and for long-term digital nomad travellers, I suggest Safety Wing .
