With a population of just 2 million, Slovenia is one of Europe’s smallest countries, yet also one of its most beautiful and diverse. The former Yugoslav republic borders Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia, and thus sits at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin, Hungarian and Slavic culture. The country’s scenery is incredibly varied and spans the Alps, the Mediterranean Sea, the Pannonian Plain and the Dinaric Mountains. And the best thing about travelling to Slovenia? Thanks to its compact size, the whole country can be explored in a single holiday.
Over a million tourists visit Slovenia every year, mostly from Austria, Italy, Germany, the UK, and the other countries of the former Yugoslavia.
Due to the country’s international orientation, almost every Slovenian speaks English. The national currency is the Euro. As the capital, Ljubljana, is located right in the centre of the country, all points can be reached from it within a couple of hours.
