Slovenia Travel Guide - Top Things To See

Images


 

 


• In the capital Ljubljana (website: www.ljubljana-tourism.si), cross the lifeblood Ljubljanica river towards to the Town Hall (1718) with its baroque fountain and two open courtyards and then explore the surrounding cobbled old town.

• Head for the twin towers of Ljubljana Cathedral (1708), which house some impressive frescoes in what is widely regarded as the finest ecclesiastical building in the country.

• Tour Ljubljana's fine treasure trove of cultural institutions - choose from the City Museum, National Museum, the National Gallery, Plecnik's House and the Modern Art Gallery.

• Take a train into the spectacular 20km (12-mile) cave of Postojna (website: www.postojnska-jama.si), only one hour's drive from the coast, which has been deemed one of the greatest sights of natural beauty, and features gigantic stalagmites and a cavernous hall which can hold over 10,000 people.
 
• In the port of Koper, explore the old town and see the Town Tower (1480), the 15th-century Cathedral, the loggia and the Praetor's Palace; also of interest is the Romanesque Carmin Rotunda (1317). The excellent Provincial Museum houses old maps of the area. 
 
Piran is Slovenia's coastal jewel, southeast of Koper. Enjoy the flurry of Venetian architecture and the waterfront seafood restaurants or just enjoy a swim in the Adriatic shadowed by the town's voluminous hilltop church.
 
• To the south of Maribor, see the Roman remains and medieval centre of Ptuj (website: www.ptuj-tourism.si), which is also the scene of traditional carnivals. Ptuj's old town overflows with cobbles, churches and impressive baroque buildings.
 
• In the mountain resort of Bled (website: www.bled.si), see the neo-gothic Parish Church (1904) with its interesting frescoes and Bled Castle, the former seat of the bishops of Brixen. Perching above a 100m (328ft) drop, the castle offers magnificent views over the city and lake.
