Frequently asked questions

Considering a trip to Slovenia but new to Explore? We've answered some of the most-asked questions about our small group adventures.

When is the best time to visit Slovenia?
Slovenia is a stunning destination all year round – from alpine winters to hot summers by the Adriatic Sea. While the snowy peaks offer a picturesque backdrop, Slovenia truly shines as a haven for walkers and hikers. Visit in the Spring to discover beautiful carpets of wildflowers amongst the sounds of woodpeckers. Summer is ideal for tackling more challenging hikes where you’ll discover glacial lakes and dramatic alpine scenery in the pleasant sun, and in autumn, the forests abound with rich orange hues. From the peaceful shores of Lake Bled to the dramatic landscapes of Triglav National Park, Slovenia offers a huge variety of walks and hikes, promising a fantastic experience for anyone who loves the outdoors.
What is the food and drink like?

Slovenian cuisine offers a hearty combination of Central European, Mediterranean and Balkan influences. Traditional dishes include Carniolan sausage, Istrian stew and štruklji pastries. The country's diverse landscape contributes a rich larder, with fresh seafood from the Adriatic coast, game from the Alpine forests and a bounty of fruit and vegetables from the fertile valleys.

Don't forget to sample the local wines – Slovenia’s crisp, aromatic white wines are often overlooked in favour of French or Italian varieties. Yet, the Littoral and Drava regions of Slovenia boast a rich and storied winemaking heritage, culminating in delicious and unique flavours you won’t often find elsewhere.

What are the ‘must-sees’ in Slovenia?

Slovenia is home to a huge number of enchanting attractions – from jaw-dropping natural scenery to unforgettable cultural delights, encompassing dramatic mountains, pristine lakes and charming towns on the Adriatic coast.

  • Lake Bled – This picture-perfect lake features an island church overlooked by a stunning mountain backdrop. Enjoy a lakeside stroll, a pletna boat ride or panoramic views from Bled Castle.
  • Savica Waterfall - Tucked away in Triglav National Park, the Savica Waterfall is a stunning natural wonder. A short forest hike leads to its cascading waters, a must-see for nature lovers.
  • Ljubljana – Slovenia’s vibrant capital blends vintage Baroque charm with cutting-edge modernity. Explore the iconic Dragon Bridge and soak up the atmosphere in Prešeren Square.
  • Mostnica Gorge – Hiking trails wind through this breathtaking gorge, revealing stunning rock formations, pools and waterfalls and creating a haven for nature lovers and photographers.
  • Mount Vogel – Offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Julian Alps and Lake Bohinj, Mount Vogel’s summit is accessible via cable car and provides access to incredible hiking trails.
