Slovenia Travel guide
Slovenia : Michelin's recommendations
Slovenia, nestled in the Julian Alps and stretching down to the shores of the Mediterranean, is small in size -barely 20 000 km2- yet huge in its diversity.
What is the common denominator between the Alpine landscapes of Triglav National Park, like a postcard of Switzerland, and the coastline with its Italian flavour? Or between a ride down the Soča rapids and the feeling you get when looking at the frescoes in Holy Trinity Church? None - but Slovenia has all of this to offer and more.
A member of the European Union since 2004, it boasts 58 % of its territory in forest land, a national park, regional nature parks, stunning mountain lakes like the ones at Bled and Bohinj, and 6,000 karstic caves. This is a place that was made for nature-lovers!
The country also has a great deal to offer culturally speaking. Its history and multicultural background (Slavic, Hungarian, Romanesque and Germanic) have left behind a striking architectural legacy that is sure to enchant you, from the ramparts of Predjama troglodyte castle to the Secession façades in peaceful Ljubljana. And there's no risk of getting lost on your quiet stroll through the medieval towns of Ptuj and Škofja Loka because Slovenian towns are built on a human scale.
And don't forget to enjoy the culinary specialities that can be sampled in its inns and farms, another way to enjoy every moment of your trip to this little country that has remained sheltered from the hordes of tourists.
