Sitting at the crossroads of Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans, Slovenia’s unique position on the European continent has imbued it with a confluence of cultural influences and a long, varied history. First part of the Roman Empire, then the Austro-Hungarian Empire, before becoming part of Yugoslavia until 1991, Slovenia celebrates its rich heritage and the resilience of its people that give the country a spirit just as breathtaking as its natural beauty.

A city tour of the capital will introduce you to the thrilling trails of Tivoli Park, the medieval heart of the city, and Cukrarna sugar factory, which recalls the city’s industrial golden age.
