The Best Places To Go in Slovenia
I truly cannot say enough good things about Slovenia, and recommend to all of my friends that they take a trip there! If this is your first introduction to Slovenia and you’re wondering where you should even get started with planning your trip – first of all we’ve put together an itinerary for first time visitors to Slovenia that I’ll link to the bottom of this post to take all the work out of planning your trip for you – but we’ve also put together a list of our top places to visit in Slovenia below in order of Can’t-Miss-ability! Happy planning 🙂
1. Lake Bled, Slovenia
The town of Bled is certainly one of the most scenic destinations in the country, and a wonderful place that I personally would spend a whole week relaxing in if I was looking for a little R&R! But no matter how long your stay, Bled gets our top spot as the place you must visit while traveling through Slovenia given its vibrantly clear waters and serene backdrops.

2. Piran, Slovenia
Our number two spot goes to an underdog: the town of Piran! This coastal city in the south of Slovenia offers beautiful views and a quiet escape into a historic port town. Add this to your itinerary for a quaint village with great swimming, scenic hikes, and delicious food.

3. Soča Valley, Slovenia
Another beautifully scenic getaway for those who enjoy the outdoors is the area within the Socǎ Valley! This region in the north of Slovenia is known for its natural beauty and adventurous recreation activities, such as kayaking or canyoning.

4. Postojna Caves, Slovenia
Another top five destination in Slovenia is the Postojna Caves, one of the most highly visited caves in all of Europe! I’ve been to a cave or two in my lifetime, and let me just tell you that these will not disappoint. They are also one of the attractions Slovenia is most well known for, so you can’t truly say you’ve seen the country until you’ve made a pitstop here as well!

5. Ljubljana, Slovenia
Last but not least, the last destination to make our list is the capital of the country itself: Ljubljana. With canals cutting through its center and a historic castle sitting atop a hill looking out at all the rest, a stop in Ljubljana will diversify your itinerary through Slovenia and offer some great bites to eat.
