Destinations in Slovenia
Discover Slovenia’s six unique regions, each with its own landscapes, culture, and hidden gems. Click the map below to explore what each region has to offer.
Slovenia's north-western corner: Triglav National Park, the lakes of Bled and Bohinj, the Soča, and four bases to choose between.
Slovenia's south-western corner: a 46.6-kilometre coast, the Karst plateau with Škocjan and Lipica, and two wine regions you don't know yet.
Not exactly in the center, but still central between the coast and the eastern regions, and the Julian Alps and Croatia, lie the Green Karst, the Idrija and Cerkno Valleys, and the capital, Ljubljana.
Herders' huts at 1,611 metres, a glacial valley with a 90-metre waterfall and a medieval town, all within an hour of Ljubljana.
The quietest part of Slovenia: the country’s warmest river, the old-growth forest of Kočevsko and vineyards along the Krka
Where the mountains stop, Slovenia doesn’t end. To the east, Slovenia becomes flatter.
