Small enough to explore without rushing yet full of character, Ljubljana blends a medieval hilltop castle, riverside cafés, Baroque streets and the unmistakable architecture of Jože Plečnik into one of Central Europe’s most welcoming capitals.

Discover two very different faces of the Julian Alps: iconic Lake Bled with its island and cliff-top castle, then the wilder, quieter landscapes of Lake Bohinj inside Triglav National Park.

Follow one of Slovenia’s most spectacular landscapes through emerald water, deep gorges, Alpine villages and mountain roads connecting Bovec, Kobarid and Tolmin.

Travel beneath the surface into Postojna’s extraordinary cave world, then continue to a medieval castle built dramatically into a 123-metre cliff.

Trade Alpine peaks for sea air as you explore Piran’s Venetian-influenced streets, waterfront squares, panoramic church terraces and Slovenia’s centuries-old salt-making landscape.

Leave the city behind for open Alpine pastures, traditional shepherd huts, mountain views and one of Slovenia’s most distinctive living cultural landscapes.
