Slovenia Tourist Attractions

The size of Israel or Wales, Slovenia is bordered on the north by Austria, Croatia to the south, west Italy and Hungary to the east. Its predominant form of relief is hilly, almost 90% of its surface being at over 300 m above sea level. Forests cover almost half the territory of this country. 
Many rivers run through Slovenia: Sava, Drava (which flows into the Danube), Soca, which runs towards the Adriatic Sea, Mura and Krka. 
The territory of this country is divided into six main areas, depending on terrain: the Alps, the pre-Alpine hills, Dinaric region known as the caves and underground rivers, lying on the Adriatic coast length of 27 km, the Pannonian Plain and the plain and depression, which covers almost a fifth of the country, especially in the eastern and north-east. Though a small country, numerous Slovenia tourist attractions can be seen when visiting it.
Ljubljana Slovenia
This city is like a miniature Prague, but more quiet, not crowded with hordes of noisy tourists. By far the largest and most famous city of Slovenia, Ljubljana is more of a clean, charming, full of green spaces, rather than an industrial capital of national importance. Here was once the ancient Roman village Emona, the spirit of Roman legions seems to be somehow preserved in the walls of the city. 
However, the predominant spiritual footprint is Slavic. Over 35,000 university students enrolled in the city’s University, always keep the city young and lively. 
Adriatic Coast 
Cities filled with resorts are found on the shores of the Adriatic Sea on the Slovenian side: Koper (located just 163 km from the capital) with its medieval atmosphere and preserved in spite of industrialization, with truly impressive ports and highways, chic Piran (17 km southwest of Koper), Pearl Venetian Gothic architecture with its narrow streets, Fiesa by far the most beautiful Slovenian beach, clean sand or water to which access is restricted to vessels, the famous Trieste Miramare Castle.
The Alps
Those seeking an adrenaline rush can head towards the Slovenian Alps’ highest peak, Mount Triglav, with three peaks, the highest of which reaches an altitude of 2864 m. The Slavs believed that this mountain is sheltered by a three-headed god, who possessed heaven, earth and the underground. 
Caves in the Krast region are connected by a tunnel 500 meters long, dug through an underground canyon: Paradise will surprise you with its stalactites and stalagmites, Calvary was once a river bed, and in the Great Hall you can admire over 250 species of plants and five species of bats.
