Festivals & Events
The Julian Alps region is a mountain lovers' paradise. Triglav National Park is home to lakes Bled and Bohinj, the Soča Valley and the country's highest peaks, offering endless outdoor activities.
The capital is one of the greenest and most livable in Europe. Its pedestrian center, designed by architect Jože Plečnik, is a pleasure to walk through. The castle, the Central Market and the alternative cultural center of Metelkova are must-sees.
The Karst region gives its name to this geological phenomenon throughout the world. It is home to thousands of caves, including the famous Postojna Caves and Škocjan Caves (UNESCO), as well as Predjama Castle, built in the mouth of a cave.
Row a 'Pletna' to Bled Island
Board a 'pletna', the traditional wooden boat, and be taken by a rower to Slovenia's only natural island. Once there, you can visit the church, ring the wishing bell and try 'potica', a traditional cake, in the cafeteria. It is the quintessential Slovenian experience.
Travel by Train to the Heart of a Cave
Riding the electric train that runs through the interior of the Postojna Cave is a unique experience in the world. The journey takes visitors through a spectacular underground world of stalactites, stalagmites and vast galleries, including an encounter with the 'olm' or 'human fish', a creature endemic to these caves.
Hiking in Triglav National Park
Exploring Slovenia's only national park is to connect with nature in its purest state. From easy hikes around Lake Bohinj to challenging ascents of Mount Triglav, the country's highest peak, the park offers alpine landscapes of breathtaking beauty.
Tour Ljubljana by Bike
Discovering the green capital of Europe on two wheels is the best way to feel its pulse. Cycling along the Ljubljanica River, crossing its famous bridges (such as the Dragon Bridge), exploring the enormous Tivoli Park and enjoying a drink on one of its many terraces is an urban pleasure.
Kayaking on the Esmeralda River
The Soča River, with its incredible emerald color, is one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. Kayaking or rafting in its white waters, surrounded by the landscapes of the Julian Alps, is a dose of adrenaline and unforgettable natural beauty. The area is a paradise for adventure sports.
Getting Lost in the Alleys of Piran
Walking through the maze of narrow streets of Piran is like being transported to a small Venice. This jewel of the Adriatic coast captivates with its Venetian architecture, its lively Tartini Square and the impressive views obtained by climbing the city walls or the church bell tower.

Highway Vignette
