Have you ever noticed Slovenia has the word “LOVE” right in the middle of it? I don’t think that’s a coincidence. This hidden gem of the Adriatic Sea will easily make you fall in love, and the best part is, it is still relatively unknown to the masses. Here are our top 5 things to do in Slovenia. Be sure to catch them before everyone else does. You’ll be in for a treat!

The Top 5 Things to Do in Slovenia

Take a Boat Ride to the Island of Bled

Yes, this is in fact a place that exists in real life. The stunning view of the islet on lake Bled, with the Church of Assumption towering in the middle, is straight out of a fairy tale.

Slovenia's capital city of Ljubljana

Explore Ljubljana on Foot

This tiny picturesque capital city is packed with things to do. Enjoy the view from the castle, take a boat ride on the river, and wander over its many bridges.

Slovenia's UNESCO listed Skocjan Caves

See a Natural Wonder at the Skocjan Caves

This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts the highest cave hall in Europe. The perfect destination to unravel a mysterious underworld.

Slovenia's Soča River near the Julian Alps

Explore the Soča Valley

The crystal clear, turquoise waters of Soča River stretch between the Julian Alps. Go rafting, hiking, horseback riding, or just relax and take in the stunning scenery.

Things to do in Slovenia? Try  Bled's custard cake of course!

Enjoy the Local Delicacies!

Naturally, you’ve got to sample the local cuisine. Enjoy some charcuterie, cheese, seafood – especially crayfish – and last but not least, the iconic Bled cream cake as dessert.

Don’t miss your chance to discover a European gem. Enjoy Slovenia while it is still off the radar. Most likely, it won’t remain “hidden” for much longer.
