Slovenia Holidays

Europe’s green, alpine secret

Slovenians are so proud of Mount Triglav, they put the three-headed mountain on their national flag. Conquering the 2864-metre limestone peak, the highest in the Julian Alps, is a rite of passage for locals and just one of the outdoor activities awaiting you on Slovenia holidays, along with a variety of adventure sports and more.

With over half of Slovenia’s 20,000 square kilometres covered in forest and its Triglav National Park containing a good chunk of the Julian Alps, this is one of Europe’s wildest alpine corners. The country also touches the Adriatic coast, where Piran’s winding streets and Venetian Gothic architecture tumble towards the Mediterranean. The capital, Ljubljana, has a mountain-backed cityscape of art nouveau facades and pillared bridges designed by local modernist hero Jože Plečnik, all overlooked by a 16th-century hilltop castle.

One of Europe’s greenest capitals, Ljubljana has restricted traffic in the centre, leaving its riverbanks to cyclists, strollers and the cafés and bars enjoyed by its 50,000 students. At the fairytale Lake Bled, sundowners come to admire views of a baroque church spire rising from a lonely island, framed by a medieval castle on a craggy bluff and the snowy sweep of the Julian Alps. Slovenia is even impressive underground, where a 4 kilometre electric railway explores the cool caverns and tunnels of the millennia-old Postojna Caves. This part of former Yugoslavia mixes culinary influences from its neighbours, including Italy and Hungary, with farm-fresh produce. Classic Slovenian dishes include ‘Pršut’ prosciutto, trout from the alpine rivers, cheese dumplings and Potica nut roll dessert, washed down with local red and white wines or Zlatorog beer. In every way, holidays to Slovenia are crammed with surprising discoveries.

Your questions answered

There’s so much to see and do in Slovenia and any part of the year is a great time to visit. The weather is hottest between June and September; the perfect season to enjoy evenings of alfresco dining in Ljubljana. Spring is beautiful here too, and usually quite warm. Then, in autumn, you’ll be wowed by the countryside’s colours. Christmas and New Year celebrations are also really popular in Slovenia, so the most difficult problem is how to decide which season suits you best.
