Slovenia

Slovenia, a hidden gem in Central Europe, entices travellers with its stunning landscapes and rich culture. In Ljubljana, the charming capital, you can wander through picturesque streets, explore a medieval castle, and enjoy a vibrant café scene along the Ljubljanica River. Venture to Lake Bled, where a fairytale island church and a clifftop castle create a magical setting against the backdrop of the Julian Alps. Along the coast, the Adriatic Sea sparkles beside quaint coastal towns like Piran, with their Venetian-style architecture and inviting beaches.

Please note that the estimated temperature, rainfall and recommended months of when to go are based on Ljubljana’ weather patterns
