Situated in Central Europe, it borders Austria to the north, Hungary to the east, Croatia to the east and south, and Italy to the west.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being very small, Slovenia also has a small coastline of less than 50 km on the Adriatic Sea.<\/p>\n<p>#2 Slovenia is a peculiar country, as it lies between three linguistic and cultural worlds \u2013 Germanic, Latin, and Slavic. It is wedged between three major regions and strongly influenced by all three.<\/p>\n<p>This privileged location at the crossroads of several European civilizations has given rise to a country full of cultural peculiarities and, therefore, unique and very interesting to travel.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" alt=\"things to know before traveling to Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-34068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia-768x554.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 1 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia.jpg\" alt=\"things to know before traveling to Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-34068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia-150x108.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/napoleon-bridge-slovenia-768x554.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 1 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Napoleon\u2019s Bridge over the So\u010da River near the Italian border<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#3 One of the things you need to know before traveling to Slovenia is that it is a very mountainous country, especially in the northwest part of the country where the Julian Alps are located. In this region, close to the borders with Austria and Italy, we have the Triglav National Park and the other highest points in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The highest peak in Slovenia is Triglav, with 2864 meters of altitude, but several other peaks in the Julian Alps also surpass 2500 meters. Triglav is so important to Slovenia that its iconic triple peak is featured on the country\u2019s flag.<\/p>\n<p>#4 In addition to the mountains, it should be noted that it is also considered one of the greenest countries in Europe, with almost 60% of its area being covered by forest areas. Only Sweden and Finland have a higher percentage.<\/p>\n<p>Forests, rivers, and mountains are very important for Slovenia and Slovenians.<\/p>\n<p>#5 Currently, Slovenia is a rich and developed country with high economic growth after independence and entry into the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the high growth, Slovenia\u2019s per capita GDP is still slightly lower than that of the EU but has already surpassed that of Portugal, Greece, or Spain. Regarding human development, Slovenia has a very high HDI (Human Development Index) value, placing it 23rd in the world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Everything you need to known about visiting Slovenia\n\" class=\"wp-image-33459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 2 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Everything you need to known about visiting Slovenia\n\" class=\"wp-image-33459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-triglav-national-park-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 2 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lake Jasna with a view of the Julian Alps in the background in Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Slovenians_like\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Slovenians_like\"><\/span>What are Slovenians like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>#6 Despite its small size, Slovenia has about 2 million inhabitants, of which only about 300 thousand live in the capital, Ljubljana, the capital and largest city in the country. All other Slovenian cities are much smaller, mainly Maribor, Kranj, and Koper (due to the seaport).<\/p>\n<p>Thus, despite being an urbanized country, the cities are quite small. Besides Ljubljana, most attractions are outside the big cities, as shown below.<\/p>\n<p>#7 Slovenian is the official language of Slovenia, and practically the entire population speaks it. In the respective border regions, many people speak Italian, Hungarian, and German.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, nobody in Slovenia expects tourists to know how to speak their language as it is not spoken in any other country. Of course, if you learn a few words or expressions, they\u2019ll love it!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Slovenia general information\" class=\"wp-image-33977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 3 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Slovenia general information\" class=\"wp-image-33977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ljubljana-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 3 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ljubljanica River and Tromostovje bridges in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#8 However, note that practically all Slovenians speak several languages. In our experience, almost everyone speaks English, even people who have nothing to do with the tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you know how to speak English, you won\u2019t have any problem communicating in Slovenia. At least we didn\u2019t have it, and it was even one of the countries where we most easily found people who spoke almost perfect English.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, if you speak Italian or German, you will also be able to easily communicate in the regions closer to Italy and Austria.<\/p>\n<p>#9 Our experience dealing with Slovenians was almost always positive. Being able to communicate easily helps the interactions a lot, but they were practically always very helpful and friendly. Tourism is quite developed, so they are used to dealing with foreigners.<\/p>\n<p>However, there were several exceptions and always in the same situation \u2013 tourist offices. Whenever we go to a destination, we like to go to tourist offices to ask some questions and see what suggestions are given. Usually, we get some very interesting tips.<\/p>\n<p>In Slovenia, no! We went to three different places, and the experience was always negative. We weren\u2019t maltreated, but there was always an obvious indifference and responses much more blunt than we get from people who have nothing to do with tourism. It was weird\u2026<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Slovenia travel facts\" class=\"wp-image-34099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 4 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Slovenia travel facts\" class=\"wp-image-34099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Capital-da-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 4 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Capital of Slovenia Ljubljana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#10 One of the things that impresses us about Slovenia is how important sport and physical activity is for Slovenians. The number of people who practice one or more sports is incredible.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s only natural that they are so good at many sports, namely basketball, cycling, skiing, and climbing.<\/p>\n<p>#11 In cycling, the number of people you see cycling is really impressive, whether mountain or road. Whether adults, teenagers, or seniors. In a more professional manner, amateurs, or pure and simple leisure way.<\/p>\n<p>It is also worth noting the number of cycle paths throughout the country. Lots of roads have parallel bike paths where you can ride your bike safely.<\/p>\n<p>It is no coincidence that two of today\u2019s best cyclists are Slovenians: Poga\u010dar and Rogli\u010d.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Slovenia Travel Guide\" class=\"wp-image-33466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 5 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Slovenia Travel Guide\" class=\"wp-image-33466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Cycling-trail-in-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 5 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bridge and bicycle trail \u2013 there are several in Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_the_weather_in_Slovenia\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_the_weather_in_Slovenia\"><\/span>How is the weather in Slovenia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>#12 Despite being a small country, Slovenia has a very diverse climate due to its geography. We can even separate the climate into three different climatic regions: continental (inland), alpine (in mountainous areas), and Mediterranean (near the coast) climates.<\/p>\n<p>In the northeast, we have a continental climate with long cold winters and hot summers. In winter, average temperatures are around zero degrees, and in summer, they reach 25\u00ba. The rain is abundant but distributed throughout the year, with some months of summer being the wettest.<\/p>\n<p>In the alpine areas, the climate is mountainous, with a lot of rain and snow in winter and temperatures well below zero. In summer, the temperatures are more pleasant. In the Mediterranean, summers are hot (25-30\u00ba), winters are much milder, and rain is concentrated mainly in autumn and winter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Slovenia travel tips\" class=\"wp-image-33474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 6 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Slovenia travel tips\" class=\"wp-image-33474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mountains-in-Slovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 6 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The beautiful Julian Alps in Slovenia | Things to know before going to Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_travel_to_Slovenia\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_travel_to_Slovenia\"><\/span>When to travel to Slovenia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>#13 This varied climate allows visitors to enjoy the country almost all year round. In summer, the coast is quite pleasant (but it doesn\u2019t have sandy beaches), as well as the valleys of the National Parks and the capital.<\/p>\n<p>In winter, Slovenia is an excellent destination for skiing and winter sports. The mountains are perfect for practicing this type of sport, as in neighboring Austria and Italy.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Slovenia is a year-round tourist destination with both winter and summer attractions, with the peak season clearly being summer. At this time of year, it is necessary to pay attention and book tickets, tours, and even hotels in advance.<\/p>\n<p>In our opinion, the best time to go to Slovenia is during shoulder season  \u2013  May and June, September and the beginning of October.

We also did not notice any scheme to deceive tourists.<\/p>\n<p>In the mountains, you need to pay special attention to rapid weather changes, avalanches, and not get lost on mountain trails.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you drive, pay attention and practice defensive driving.

The acid in sauerkraut gives it a taste different from other stews.<\/li>\n<li>Obara \u2013 one of the national dishes of Slovenia. It has a comforting and savory stew flavor. It is made with vegetables such as carrots, turnips, green beans, peas, and onions, it usually has meat and internal organs.<\/li>\n<li>Gola\u017e or goulash \u2013 Originally from Hungary, it is also very typical in Slovenia. It is a stew made with meat, onion, tomato, paprika, and other spices. It has a strong flavor of smoked peppers and tomatoes and is delicious. It is served with bread or polenta.<\/li>\n<li>Gobova Juha \u2013 is a traditional Slovenian mushroom soup.

Some of the ones we try and recommend are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Carniolan sausage<\/strong> or Kranjska klobasa \u2013 a smoked semi-cured pork sausage made with cuts of pork and bacon, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and garlic. It\u2019s one of the easiest foods to find in Slovenia.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u0160truklji <\/strong>\u2013 is made from rolled dough stuffed with savory or sweet ingredients. It can be baked or boiled; the fillings are usually cottage cheese, nuts, apples, and poppy seeds, but there is a wide variety of fillings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ocvirki <\/strong>\u2013 They are basically cracklings. The ones we ate were pretty good. Well fried and dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to these dishes on the coast, there is also a lot of fresh fish, shellfish, squid, cuttlefish, and other seafood. Normally you can choose whether you want breaded or grilled.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Slovenia traditional food\" class=\"wp-image-33369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 23 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food.jpg\" alt=\"Slovenia traditional food\" class=\"wp-image-33369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Struklji-Slovenia-food-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 23 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u0160truklji a dish you have to try in Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#32 Unexpectedly, some of the things we ate and enjoyed the most were traditional sweets and cake. The best-known and the ones we like the most are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Potica <\/strong>\u2013 rolled dough cake made with a sweet, thin yeast dough usually filled with nut paste \u2013 although there are other fillings such as hazelnut, tarragon, quark, or poppy seeds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prekmurska Gibanica<\/strong> \u2013 layer cake considered Slovenia\u2019s national specialty. Made with layers of poppy seeds, walnuts, apples, raisins, and a layer of curd between filo pastry, it\u2019s a mouthful of different textures and flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kremna Rezina or Bled Cream Cake<\/strong> \u2013 Made with a crispy, buttery pastry, filled with a layer of vanilla cream and whipped cream, topped with filo pastry, it is soft and silky and melts in your mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweet \u0160truklji<\/strong> \u2013 We\u2019ve talked about \u0160truklji above, but both sweet and savory are delicious. It is made with the same ingredients, phyllo dough, and flour, but has sweet fillings, such as apple, chocolate, pistachio, and orange, among others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, we have to mention honey since Slovenia is a big honey producer, and beekeeping is almost a national hobby. Slovenian honey is known for its taste and quality. It is, therefore, natural that you see honey for sale in many touristic places as it is a great souvenir to bring home.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"677\" alt=\"Everything about traveling in Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-33392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food-768x508.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 24 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food.jpg\" alt=\"Everything about traveling in Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-33392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Kremna-Rezina-dessert-Slovenian-food-768x508.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 24 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Typical Lake Bled cake \u2013 Kremna Rezina<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Money_and_costs_of_traveling_to_Slovenia\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Money_and_costs_of_traveling_to_Slovenia\"><\/span>Money and costs of traveling to Slovenia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Currency_withdrawals_and_payments\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Currency_withdrawals_and_payments\"><\/span>Currency, withdrawals, and payments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>#33 Slovenia is one of the members of the Euro Zone, so if you come from another Euro country, you don\u2019t have to worry about exchange rates, exchange rates, or costs of exchanging currency.

We think it is more expensive than Portugal or Spain, and practically at the same level as Italy. Incomparably more expensive than eastern countries like Bulgaria, Croatia, or Romania.<\/p>\n<p>It is difficult to predict how much you will spend per day, as it depends greatly on the type of traveler. On this trip, we traveled as a family and by car, which is usually a little more expensive than backpackers using public transport.<\/p>\n<p>Still, we spent about 76 Euros per person per day. However, reaching 150 or 200 Euros a day is easy without splurging much because prices in the most popular places increase greatly in the high season.<\/p>\n<p>#35 Like almost everywhere else, accommodation is one of the biggest travel costs. In Slovenia, a bed in a cheap hostel in Bled or Ljubljana will cost 30-40 Euros daily.<\/p>\n<p>While a room for two in a cheap hotel will cost 75-100 Euros, an average hotel can cost between 100 and 200 Euros, and a luxury hotel hardly ever costs below 200 Euros per day. These prices can be even higher at the peak of the high season.<\/p>\n<p>In Slovenia, as in all of Europe, we suggest that you use <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/index.html?aid=1940246\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/index.html?aid=1940246\">booking <\/a>to book accommodation as it has a huge variety of hotels, guest houses, hostels, and even local accommodation, at the best prices.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"Slovenia Travel, useful information\" class=\"wp-image-34091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 26 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Slovenia Travel, useful information\" class=\"wp-image-34091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Castelo-e-lago-Bled-na-Eslovenia-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 26 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Castle and Lake Bled in Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>#36 Another cost that weighs heavily on the travel budget in Slovenia is tickets and admission to monuments. They are much more expensive than in almost any other country we visit.<\/p>\n<p>For example, access to the Postojna caves costs almost 30 Euros, and the combined ticket with Predjama Castle costs more than 40 Euros per person. And that doesn\u2019t even include the car park.<\/p>\n<p>#37 Besides being a globally expensive country, what impressed us the most is that everything is paid for!

One of our favorite ways to save a few bucks is to have only one meal at a restaurant, opting for another fast-food (not necessarily pizza or hamburger) or street or supermarket food for the next meal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a kind of 3 in 1, you save money, you waste less time, and you can go to the supermarkets to see what the locals usually buy.

The best way to travel in Slovenia will completely depend on the type of trip you are planning.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning a more urban trip, it is most likely that a car will not be necessary and could even be a source of costs and problems. Yet, knowing that the main highlights of Slovenia are not urban and are much easier to visit by car than by public transport, we advise you to travel by car.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, driving the Julian Alps is spectacular! The freedom to walk where we want, stop where we want, drive on those mountain roads, and go to the small lakes and natural monuments is sensational.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" alt=\"How to travel in Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-33925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks-768x527.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 30 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks.jpg\" alt=\"How to travel in Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-33925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logar-Valley-Slovenia-Landmarks-768x527.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 30 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Road in Logar Valley, one of the most beautiful paths in Slovenia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_transport\"><\/span>Public transport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>#41 Due to its small size and location in the center of Europe, Slovenia has good transport connections to Europe, especially by land. It is relatively easy to take trains or buses from wine countries to Slovenian cities, especially Maribor and Ljubljana.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, there\u2019s only one international airport (Ljubljana), and there aren\u2019t that many low-cost flights to Slovenia. So what often happens is to fly to one of the neighboring countries, rent a car there and enter Slovenia by car.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we did, and it\u2019s easy (just don\u2019t forget the authorization to cross the border and buy the motorway vignette). Some cities you can fly to are Venice, Verona, and Bergamo in Italy; Zagreb, Croatia; Graz in Austria.<\/p>\n<p>#42 As we had a car, we did not use public transport in Slovenia.

If you don\u2019t go by car (which from most places has its own high costs), you have to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Car hire<\/strong> \u2013 estimate 200 to 250 Euros per week minimum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mandatory Insurance<\/strong> \u2013 There\u2019s no way to avoid this.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paying for fuel<\/strong> \u2013 in Slovenia, gasoline is cheaper than diesel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Paying tolls<\/strong> \u2013 To use Slovenian motorways, you have to buy a vignette at the border or the post office. The vignette allows us to drive on any highway during its validity period. The 30-day one costs around 30 Euros, and the 7-day one costs 15 Euros (2023), which turns out to be much cheaper than in most other European countries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parking<\/strong> \u2013 Besides being very difficult to park in large cities and historical centers, it is expensive and always pays. One of the things that struck us is that there are virtually no free parking spaces across the country. Don\u2019t overlook this cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"695\" alt=\"Driving in Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-34096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia-768x521.jpg 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 32 traveling to slovenia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia.jpg\" alt=\"Driving in Slovenia\" class=\"wp-image-34096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Estradas-na-Eslovenia-768x521.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"50 things to know before traveling to Slovenia 32 traveling to slovenia\"><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mountain roads in Slovenia near Lake Bohinj<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_in_Slovenia-2\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_in_Slovenia-2\"><\/span>Driving in Slovenia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>#44 In <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>, driving rules in Slovenia are similar to those in the rest of Europe, so driving is not a big problem. You drive on the right, and any European license is valid in Slovenia, obviously. The right priority rule also exists in Slovenia. At roundabouts, priority is given to whoever is circulating in the roundabout, but this is almost always indicated.<\/p>\n<p>Except for motorways, which have a speed limit of 130km\/h, speed limits are similar to those in Portugal, ie, 90 km\/h outside towns and 50 km\/h in urban areas, but all of this is well signposted.<\/p>\n<p>#45 Regarding driving itself, one of the most important things to know when visiting Slovenia is that Slovenians are extremely impatient when driving. It is surprising that in a country that is already so developed, people still misbehave so much behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the impatient drivers in larger cities that are common everywhere, on national roads, highways, and even mountain roads, you constantly see dangerous maneuvers and excessive speed. I even saw lights and beeps while driving at the speed limit\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it\u2019s nothing you can\u2019t do if you\u2019re used to driving abroad.
