Ljubljana
Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and the country’s most important business hub. The city has a compact, walkable center that is easy and pleasant to explore. Along the Ljubljanica River, you’ll find many small cafés, bars, and restaurants worth visiting for their selection of Slovenian food and wines. The old town beneath Ljubljana Castle is also particularly charming and deserves a visit. In most countries, the capital city would be at the top of a bucket list—but in Slovenia, Ljubljana faces stiff competition from the country’s many other outstanding attractions.

Bled
Bled town and Lake Bled are probably the most well-known locations in Slovenia. When we are in the country, we stay not far from Lake Bled, which allows us to visit often—for swimming or simply enjoying a drink by the lake in the evening. We usually prefer to go by bicycle, as traffic in and out of Bled can cause long queues, especially during the summer when there are many tourists.

Logar Valley
The Logar Valley is considered one of the most beautiful glacial valleys in Europe and the Alps—and we couldn’t agree more. The valley lies on the eastern side of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, a region slightly off the main tourist routes and less visited than the Julian Alps. This gives the area a calmer atmosphere, allowing visitors to explore in peace and quiet.
