Izola / Isola, Solo travel
Izola is a truly warm and simply beautiful place to slow down. I found the beaches, which are very easily accessible on foot, to be the most beautiful. My favorites were Strunjan Beach and Bele Skale Beach, truly wonderful.

I loooooved it there. Prettiest mountains i’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t really recommend it for people with a fear of heights, but for those who enjoy hiking, it’s an amazing spot – truly beautiful and pleasant. I loved every minute I spent there and I’m longing to go back. If someone wants to swim, that’s possible too in a few lakes, though the water will be pretty cold, haha.

Western Slovenia, Family travel
I spent a week travelling around with my parents in the western parts. We did some challenging hikes, but every step was worth it. The views were stunning. The crystal clear water is no joke. It was fun to swim in the Alpine rivers. We did Tolmin, Vintgar, Kozak, Bled, Postojna, Maribor, Skocjan. My favourite was Skocjan. It is out of this world. The size of that underground canyon is just unbelievable. I wish I could post pictures of it, but it was not allowed. But if you need to make a decision between Postojna or Skocjan. Easily Skocjan. Tolmin and Vintgar was another fan favourite. Truly magical. Food was great. Definitely recommend the layered cake in Bled and the cheese soup in Tolmin. The sausages are great everywhere. We travelled by car, but the serpentine ls are no joke. I wish we would go mainly on highways next time. It was not worth the dizziness and twists and curves even the the view was gorgeous. People spoke great English and were super helpful. But I was a bit scared of brown bears. Before travelling a lady was just attacked next to Ljubljana. But obviously it was highly unlikely that I meet one. But still I was a bit stressed about it. I got a mini cow bell in Vintgar just in case. As they say that no bear wants to meet you if they hear you ahead, but obviously next to waterfalls and noise they might not hear you. Money wise I feel like it is not cheap at all. But European prices. Lot of trails were priced. But definitely worth it. I will come back hopefully to do some more wild swimming, canyoning and more underground tours.

It’s the most beautiful place I’ve been. The surroundings are beautiful! The people I’ve met were also very nice. It’s all very cheap but the food is not greaaat. In Ljubljana it was tho. Nice country to wander around in.

Love Ljubljana! It is a very beautiful and young city. It is very easy to connect and meet other solo travelers and make great experiences with each other. The local food is alright, but not suited for vegetarians. But I felt very safe as a woman :)

It is annoyingly safe. It is so safe it's actually boring. There are ofc some parts of the city where I personaly would not go at night withou pepper spray but overall even if you have to go outside at night the chanves of something more than cat calling are almost 0%. I lived there for 18 years so when I say its safe I really mean it :)

If you want to be safe in Ljubljana, visit it especially during the day, never, or at least if you stay in Ljubljana after midnight. Using public transport is very safe, there is no need to be afraid. People are very friendly and happy to help you. Despite the fact that Slovenia is a very safe country, it is not superfluous to keep an eye on your belongings and check who you hang out with.

I think Ljubljana is pretty safe. If you’re a woman it’s probably safest for you to transport yourself with a bike or a bus or an Uber. There is a subculture of teenage boys and younger men who tend to harrass non-basic looking people on the streets but other than that it’s pretty peaceful and safe.

I really felt safe there. Many people approach you on their own and offer their help, trying to make you feel as comfortable as possible. So for anyone's first solo vacation, I can truly recommend it. ^^

I find Ljubljana very safe. In general I think there is not a lot of crime. But I still don't feel comfortable walking by myself at night... You have to be very careful in clubs because you could be drugged. I would still recomend clubbing but not alone.
