Slovenia Travel
Slovenia clings to quiet anonymity, sitting on the sunny side of the Alps with a Mediterranean coastline and an Italian border. With fewer crowds than many other European locales, thrilling adventure sports, a countryside dotted with vineyards and a capital city brimming with Prague-like cobblestones, Slovenia won’t be under the radar for long. On the Web, you’ll find sites that capture Slovenia’s charm in words and photos, as well as sites to help you book flights and accommodations.

Dulcinea's Insight
- Consult a few different blogs and forums to be sure that you’re getting a range of opinions before you travel. Use your discretion before letting a stranger’s words sway your opinion; it may be beneficial to read profiles of bloggers and people who’ve posted in forums.
- Consider the archives of newspaper travel sections. Reading articles from years past can give you insight into a country’s character, what it has been through and how travelers’ opinions of a place may have changed.
