Slovenia is in Eastern Europe and is in the eastern portion of the Alps. The landscape in Slovenia is beautiful and varied. Within this small country you can visit gorgeous Mediterranean coasts along the Adriatic Sea, wonderful peaks in the Julian Alps, and rolling hills in the middle of Slovenia.

Slovenia clings tightly to its culture, making it a wonderful place to visit where you can experience a different part of Europe. Parts of the countryside actually appear quite similar to the neighboring Austria. As you drive down the street you'll pass by beautiful shrines and striking baroque steeples. The cities throughout Slovenia offer much to do in the way of sights. The capital, Ljubljana, has been likened to Prague, but the true experience in Slovenia is to head into its untouched wilderness. The dramatic mountains offer activities for wildlife lovers, hikers, and adventure sport enthusiasts. To truly experience Slovenia, you must step outside the cities into the unparalleled nature it offers.
