From the peaks of the Julian Alps to sea level and its gorgeous coastline along the Adriatic Sea... Slovenia is truly picture-postcard beautiful. Bordered by Italy, Austria, Hungary and the Balkans, Slovenia seems to have borrowed a bit of culture, cuisine and lifestyle from each of its neighbors. Best known as an outdoor destination where active holidays are most popular, you'll want to join right in with the locals for skiing, walking and hiking in the mountains, as well as cycling along the roadways. But there's more: River rafting, horseback riding, plus cave and canyon exploration. Or, you may simply prefer to sunbathe and relax on the coastline. This enticing destination is also a haven for historic and cultural sightseeing and a very popular - and tempting - foodie destination!
