Slovenia is a green and diverse country that lies between the Alps, Mediterranean and Pannonian Plain. Here, the Alps descend abruptly through thick forests to the Adriatic and it is possible to walk in snowy alpine fields in the morning and bathe in the warm waters of the Adriatic in the afternoon. Slovenia has everything to offer for a truly memorable holiday, whether you enjoy culture, heritage, sport or rest and relaxation. Explore the Baroque capital, Ljubljana, ski amongst the majestic Alps, enjoy fine regional foods and local wines or relax at a modern spa resort.

The capital of Slovenia is a political, cultural, scientific, educational, business, and transportation centre that in its own way combines the characteristics of Slovenia's eastern and western, northern and southern regions. The city, nestling below the hill with Ljubljana Castle, has a lively cultural life created by numerous theatres, museums, and galleries, one of the oldest Philharmonics in the world, cinemas and more than ten thousand cultural events each year. There are as many as ten international festivals, including the Ljubljana Summer Festival, the Ljubljana Graphics Biennial, the Ljubljana Jazz Festival, the LIFFE Film Festival, and the Druga Godba Festival of Alternative Music, and much more. It is a city of Renaissance, Baroque, and especially Art Nouveau facades, a city that boasts the greatest exhibition of the architecture of the master Jožef Plecnik.

Near Ljubljana it is possible to visit Iški Vintgar, a gorge with picturesque river pools; the climatic health resort on Rakitna, a plateau with a lake and an attractive walking circuit; Pekel Gorge and its waterfalls near Borovnica; the karst springs of the Ljubljanica River near Vrhnika, the former monastery in Bistra that now houses the Technical Museum of Slovenia, and Sticna with its famous Cistercian monastery and Museum of Religion.

The Julian Alps are bejewelled by two picturesque lakes. Bled with its legendary island in the middle of the lake, overlooking castle, hot springs, and beneficial climate has attracted numerous cosmopolitan visitors for centuries. The Bohinj region with its unspoiled high-mountain lake inspires visitors not only with the beauties of the nature and the Vogel, Kobla, and Soriška planina ski centres but also with its rich ethnological heritage and many interesting cultural and sacred sites. The nearby Pokljuka plateau is a paradise for hikers, mushroom hunters, and cross-country skiers and is the site of major world biathlon competitions.
