Slovenia

Despite being one of Europe’s smallest countries, Slovenia boasts many natural, historic and cultural highlights but still largely remains a hidden gem. Tucked between the stunning Julian Alps and the Adriatic coast, Slovenia’s interior is covered with dense forests, towering mountains with plenty of charming medieval towns and quaint traditional villages, deserving of its comparison to Switzerland. The entire region, especially around picturesque Lake Bled, buzzes with festivals, events and activities throughout the year.
