A small country, half the size of Switzerland in the south of central Europe, Slovenia is packed with unusual and often unique attractions and experiences, from primeval forests to a lively architecturally beautiful city, and thermal springs to the mysterious Karst (limestone plateau) caves.
The country is sandwiched between Italy, Croatia, Hungary and Austria, with a coastline on the Adriatic Sea to the south west.
Visitors to this picturesque corner of Europe can enjoy several amazing contrasting experiences in the space of one day: start with a morning dip in the Adriatic, followed
by a couple of hours skiing on Alpine slopes, then explore the subterranean wonders of the Karst or become invigorated with a thermal bath, before strolling through vine-clad hills or ancient forests, and ending the day in a sophisticated casino. Ideally, though, it takes much longer than a day to sample all the delights of this fascinating Republic.
The vibrant capital city, Ljubljana, sports a mix of Baroque, Renaissance and Art Nouveau architecture, exuding an Austro-Alpine atmosphere gleaned from belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Empire for many centuries.
Finally, Slovenia boasts of having 2,000 hours of sunshine a year in which to enjoy all its offerings. The locals are proud to explain why visitors are enchanted with their country: Slovenia is the only country in the world with 'love' in its name.
