Book a Cheap Getaway to Slovenia with Brightsun Travel
Slovenia, a charming Central European country boasts UNESCO World Heritage Sites, cultural hubs, vineyards, and mouth-watering local cuisine, not to mention seasonal ski resorts. There’s something to admire everywhere in Slovenia; the natural beauty here is abundant with mountains, caves, lakes including Lake Bled Slovenia, alpine valleys, nature parks, and pebbled beaches providing an incredible backdrop for outdoor adventures such as hiking and cycling.
To be exact, there is 10,000km of marked hiking trails across Slovenia, from smaller nature walks to thrilling climbs to peaks and lakes. The Julian Alps mountain range is home to some of the country’s highest peaks and is the most popular spot for hiking with the Triglav National Park Slovenia at its centre. If you’d prefer an off-the-beaten track hiking experience, head to the Karawanks mountain range, less visited with amazing lake viewing opportunities.
There is so much to explore in Slovenia. We recommend a visit to the Postojna Cave, reached via an underground train with 24km of underground halls, passageways, and galleries. The emerald hued Soca River Valley is also worth noting; this is one of Europe’s most stunning alpine rivers, and is also the site of the Isonzo Front battle during World War I. Browse our Slovenia holiday packages and look forward to exciting travel adventures.

Top Destinations In Slovenia
Ljubljana
Ljubljana is the largest city in Slovenia though one of the smallest capital cities in Europe. The city is known for its multi-cultural traditions, lush green spaces, cultural events, and excellent culinary scene. Visit Ljubljana and look forward to unique tourist experiences such as a river cruise to admire the Old Town and bridges, and an Urban electric train ride around the city’s circular trail.
There are some marvellous sightseeing attractions to explore in Ljubljana; a trip to the city is incomplete without visiting the Dragon Bridge. This landmark attraction was built back in 1901, featuring drastic dragon sculptures. Other must-see attractions include the hilltop Ljubljana Castle which has been standing for around 900 years, and the Town Hall - a baroque-style structure located next to the famed Francesco Robba fountain.
With Ljubljana being one of the world’s greenest cities, you just have to experience its incredible lush landscapes. There are plenty of hiking adventure trails to embark on, and we recommend the Roman Wall Forest and Archaeological Learning Trail in Rakitna; this trail is known for its glistening lake which you can bathe in in the summer, and the trail transports you through verdant forests and meadows at a distance of 4.20km.
