Slovenia

At a Glance

Slovenia is a small Central European country that packs an exceptional range of landscapes into its territory, from the Julian Alps and the turquoise Soča river valley to the Karst limestone plateau, the Adriatic coast, and the baroque capital Ljubljana. The culture combines Austro-Hungarian influences with a Slavic sensibility and a strong contemporary commitment to sustainability and outdoor life. It is one of the most consistently satisfying destinations in Europe for those who value nature and refinement in equal measure.

• Over 60% of the country is forest — third most forested in the EU.
• The only country in the world with 'love' in its capital's name (Ljubljana).
• Ranked one of Europe's safest countries despite sitting between Italy, Austria, and the Balkans.
