Why visit Slovenia?
"Slovenia is small but punches well above its weight! There is so much variety here. From the alpine mountains and lakes to the Mediterranean Piran. It makes the perfect getaway!"
@Amyscphotos's Top Tips
"If you can, hire a car. This is the best way to see the country. The roads are quiet, safe and very easy! Ljubljana is the perfect base for exploring the country."
Most unique place in Slovenia?
"Predjama Castle for sure! I've been twice and love it. It's the world's only cave castle and has the most interesting history. How it was built is truly mind-boggling. You must see it with your own eyes!"
Top places to visit in Slovenia?
"The capital Ljubljana, Lake Bled and Bohinj, Piran, Predjama Castle and Skocjan or Postojna caves (both are brilliant). Slovenia is magical."
Favourite time of year to visit Slovenia
"Slovenia is picturesque all year round but the best time to visit is definitely late spring to summer. You will get the most out of the good weather with Slovenia being a very 'outdoorsy' place."
