I feel Slovenia | Slovenia tourism

,

Slovenia tourism can offer you a remarkable contrasts experience: swimming in the Adriatic, skiing in the Alps, an adventurous discovery of Karst and Caves subterranean phenomena, a refreshing bath in a thermal springs, visits of medieval cities or winegrowing hills. Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, shows its Baroque and Art Nouveau influence, and the work of native born architect Jože Plečnik. Other attractions include the Julian Alps with the picturesque Lake Bled in Bled and Soča Valley, as well as the nation’s highest peak, Mount Triglav. Perhaps even more famous is Slovenia’s karst named after the Karst plateau in southwestern Slovenia. More than 28 million visitors have visited Postojna Cave, while a 15-minute ride from it are Škocjan caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


Tourism Slovenia: coast and mountains

Further in the same direction is the coast of the Adriatic Sea, with a jewel of Venetian Gothic, Piran. The hills around the nation’s second-largest city, Maribor, are renowned for their wine-making. Even though Slovenes tend to consume most of the wine they produce, some brands like Lutomer have made their appearance abroad. Geology has made the northeastern part of the country rich with spas, with Rogaška Slatina being perhaps its most prominent site.
