Luxury holidays in Slovenia
Though patently Slavic, Slovenia’s enviable perch between the Alps and the Adriatic has nurtured a curious cultural marinade. In its capital, Ljubljana, European café culture thrives in the shadow of dragon-wielding bridges and a looming Mediaeval fortress. But Slovenia’s greatest draw is served plainly; hiking and biking through snow-capped mountain ranges, past fairytale lakes and, if you’re lucky, to a vineyard or two. It also ranks among the world’s greenest places, with its protected lands, zero-waste programmes and electric public transport.
