Why Slovenia

Alps to the Adriatic in one shoot

Slovenia is small but extremely varied: alpine peaks and lakes, the emerald Soča River, karst caves and a castle built into a cliff, a Venetian-style coast and Baroque Ljubljana – all within about two hours.

It is proven on screen with Narnia: Prince Caspian, Citadel and The Union. The currency is the euro, and Slovenia combines easily with Croatia, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
