Slovenia – a small green jewel of Europe
Hardly any visitor to Slovenia can believe, how many breathtaking natural wonders are packed in this just a little bit more than 20,000 km2 large jewel at the northern edge of the Mediterranean. According to the Green Destinations conditions, Slovenia has become the first country with the Green Destination standard in the world.
It lies in the heart of Europe, where the Alps, the Mediterranean, Karst and Pannonian Basin meet. In just a few hours of driving from the coastal area along the diverse and picturesque landscape, visitors can reach any part of this green land. You can visit the lively capital of Ljubljana, in the centre of the country. Explore Maribor – city of the oldest vine in the world. From there, you can treat yourselves to relaxing in the healing thermal waters of the Pannonian Basin, or discovering the Karst-specific world of the Postojna Cave and the Škocjan Caves, climbing the Alpine summits, or simply relaxing by the idyllic lakes of Bled and Bohinj. Discover this small green jewel, which is becoming a more and more popular destination.
Welcome to Slovenia!
Ljubljana – a green, welcoming and vibrant European capital
Ljubljana is one of Europe’s most charming small capitals, known for its relaxed atmosphere, green public spaces and lively cultural scene. The car-free historic centre, shaped by the work of architect Jože Plečnik, invites visitors to stroll along the Ljubljanica river, enjoy its many cafés and explore a blend of medieval, Baroque and modernist architecture. As one of Europe’s most sustainably oriented cities, Ljubljana combines a friendly, human-scale feel with excellent gastronomy, a rich cultural programme and easy access to nature—Tivoli Park, the city’s largest green area, begins only steps from the congress venue.
