Slovenia is an invitation to slow down amid a landscape of Alpine lakes, emerald rivers, and vineyard-draped hills.

Not all who wander are lost, and that is certainly true of those who venture into the depths of Slovenia, at the heart of Central Europe. This underrated gem reveals an unfamiliar kind of magic and a world of fairy-tale contrasts, from mist lifting off Lake Bled at dawn to crisp orange wine in the Vipava Valley and the lantern-lit riverbanks of Ljubljana.

Whether you’re looking to hike, cycle and climb your way across larger-than-life landscapes, or simply surrender to Slovenia’s natural spa resorts for a while, craft your own trip to paradise with help from our trusted local experts. They can shape a trip around your interests and open doors to the places guidebooks miss.

    I'd recommend spending more time in the capital to enjoy a boat ride along the Ljubljanica River, which flows through the picturesque old town.

Frequently asked questions about Slovenia

Alpine like in Bohinj, Slovenia

  • British citizens don’t need a visa for Slovenia, which is part of the Schengen Area. You can stay up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Registration is required in the European Entry/Exit System (EES). Make sure to check the latest entry rules before you travel for up-to-date information.

  • Late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September) are ideal to enjoy mild weather, fewer crowds, and great hiking conditions. July and August are warm and lively, but it gets busy at Lake Bled. Winter is great for skiing in the Julian Alps and festive Christmas markets in Ljubljana.

  • Slovenia is a small country, so a week covers the highlights comfortably. These include Ljubljana, Lakes Bled and Bohinj, the Soča Valley, the karst caves, and the coastal town of Piran. If you have 10 to 14 days, you can slow down, add wine regions like Goriška Brda, or combine Slovenia with neighbouring Croatia.

  • Popular places in Slovenia worth adding to your itinerary are Ljubljana’s car-free old town, Lake Bled’s island church, and quieter Lake Bohinj. Explore the Postojna or Škocjan caves, raft or hike along the emerald Soča River, and stroll Venetian-style Piran on the Adriatic. Triglav National Park offers some of Europe’s most beautiful, uncrowded alpine scenery.

  • Hiring a car is the easiest way to explore the country since distances are short and roads are excellent. You’ll need an e-vignette (digital toll pass) for highways. Buses and trains link major towns, but service to rural valleys and mountain areas is limited, so private transfers help fill the gaps.

  • Yes, Slovenia is considered one of Europe’s safest countries. It has low crime and a friendly, welcoming culture. Take normal precautions, particularly in busier and more tourist-heavy places, and watch mountain weather forecasts particularly if you’re travelling during the winter season.
