Discovering Slovenia

The surprisingly fun capital city Ljubljana is one of the smallest capitals in the world. The student city with a village feeling, resembles Prague, but has fewer tourists. For that great holiday feeling, you can enjoy a spritz on one of the river terraces and then it’s of to Gostilna Jakob Franc for a lovely dinner. The Vander Urbani Resort is a design hotel with a small rooftop swimming pool. A cheaper alternative is the City Hotel, which has nice spacious rooms.

Slovenia also scores well in its culinary experience: Ana Roš was voted the world’s best female chef in 2017 which put her country on the gastronomic map as well. Her restaurant Hiša Franko is close to the Italian border in a beautiful valley and also has rooms for an overnight stay.

The Lake of Bled, with the iconic island and snowy peaks in the background, is the most important attraction in the Julian Alps. There is an 18-hole golf course and a 6 km long hiking trail alongside the lake. In the summer months you can dip in the lake or take a boat trip. Grand Hotel Toplice ***** is an historic hotel with allure and borders directly on the lake.
