Your Perfect European Destination is Slovenia

So, you enjoy city breaks, Cold War history and dragons? Your ideal destination in Europe is Slovenia!

Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital, offers a vibrant cafe culture in the shadow of a hilltop castle. This contrasts with the remnants of Slovenia's Soviet past which are still evident in some of the brutalist architecture that can be found around Ljubljana. 

Slovenia also has a legendary love affair with dragons. Look for dragon imagery everywhere. There is even a famous Dragon Bridge in the capital.

As an added bonus, Slovenia offers breathtaking natural beauty too. Take a boat ride on Lake Bled where reflections of the Church of the Mother of God on the placid water are simply magical.

Alternatively, soak up the sunshine in Piran and along the Slovene Riviera for a more relaxing end to your Slovenian vacation.
