Holiday breaks in Slovenia
With the nation competing strongly in the 2010 World Cup finals, the nation of Slovenia is on the verge of entering the consciousness of millions of Britons for the very first time. There has never been a better time to discover the beauty and diversity of Slovenia.
Slovenia is located in Central Europe touching the Alps and bordering the Mediterranean. The landscape of Slovenia offers variety and stunning beauty. Along the border with Austria, the Julian Alps provide spectacular mountain scenery. To the south, the scenery offers caves like those at Postojna. The capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, is of a manageable size with superb Baroque and Habsburg architecture.
Things to do in Slovenia
Why not journey to Slovenia for an amazing beer festival? The popular festival will see over 30 breweries showcase their drinks, with attendees able to sample tipples from the likes of Carlsberg, Sarajevsko, Pan, Tuborg, Beck's, Brooklyn Brewery, Leffe, Stella Artois, Fuller's and Hoegaarden, among others. You’ll be able to keep up with the latest World Cup action from South Africa on a large screen that will be erected within the BeerFest venue. The festival is one of the largest of its kind in Middle Europe and will also include a host of live music and arts performances, as well as activities for the family.
Slovenia is home to some beautiful countryside, some of which lies close to Ljubljana. Triple Bridge is the heart of Ljubljana. With numerous pavement stalls, tourists and cosy restaurants, this is a must visit area of the city. The sea and rivers, mountains and plains, forests and fields, towns and villages allow any-one to feel comfortable and relaxed. The connection of the nation to the countryside and our affection for the Alps is reflected in the fact that Triglav, the highest mountain, features on the coat-of-arms of the flag as well as on the back of our Euro coins.
If you’re in the mood for tranquillity why not take some time to visit Lake Bohinj (Bohinjsko Jezero), the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. Lake Bohinj is located in inside Triglav National Park and has some of the most amazing views Slovenia has to offer.
