Slovenia is an underrated Central European country known for its breathtaking scenery. It is bordered by Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia.

Throughout the country you will find snow-capped mountains, thick forests, dreamy fields, green rivers, and more natural wonders (there are more than 10,000 caves to explore in Slovenia).

Slovenian architecture is a unique combination of Austrian and Italian influences; it’s beautiful and worth seeing!

Fun fact: there is 1 winery or vineyard for every 75 people.

What to Wear in: Ljubljana

Ljubljana is the largest city in Slovenia and has been its capital since 1991. The symbol of the city is a dragon, which you will see everywhere, from fences to signs to graffiti.

Although it is the largest city in Slovenia, it has all the charm of a small university town. The emerald-green Ljubljanica River flows throughout the city, so you’ll almost always be walking or eating near the water. Visit the National Museum, Ljubljana Castle, the National and University Library, and Tivoli Park.

One of the best things about visiting Ljubljana is the relaxing and laid-back trip you’ll inevitably have.

Wearing a comfortable pair of sneakers will come in handy when you’re strolling through the city. A catch-all tote bag will help you carry everything you need while you’re out.
