Slovenia

Slovenia, the small Republic bordering Italy, Austria, Croatia and Hungary, is one of Europe’s most under-rated travel destinations. Uniquely placed where four different geographical regions meet – the Alps, the Dinaric area, the Pannonian plain and the Mediterranean – Slovenia is a vibrant, young country with spectacular nature, a long history, rich culture, and some of the most enchanting cities in Europe. TMO Travel has put together a number of useful articles and city guides to help you plan a trip to Slovenia.
