we went on hiking in the woods near kojevé. It was one of my scouting experiences, so we were'nt that much in city. But Ljubljana was beautiful. Felt fresh and shiny. We ate a lot of burek and did some street music.

I loved this country. If you like hiking, this is the place for you. The water is beautiful and the nature preserve is stunning. There are good mountains to climb, and you can discover big, beautiful caves and hot springs.

Izola / Isola, Solo travel

Izola is an absolutely lovely small seaside town that is a summer vacation favorite for Slovenians (so I heard) and i would say it's a hidden gem to replace a visit to Piran with as it's full of a vibrant life of locals, with small open air concerts etc. I stayed at Hostel Alieti which is a big reason for my good experience since I met a lot of lovely slovenians there of all different ages. Restaurant Parangal was also really good. Not a party town, not a town in general so not much to see, but...

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.

Kranjska Gora, Group travel

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...

Ljubljana, Solo travel

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 :)

Ljubljana, Couple travel

I didn't know that I needed a vacay in this city till I had it! After one year, I still cant get over THE VIBES! I'm ecstatic how safe this city felt, especially after living in many western european cities for the last 5 years. The old town is just amazing: the Cankarjevo Nabrezje, the Triple Bridge, the Dragon Bridge, are all musts that one cannot miss. Lots of shops with dragon-souvenirs and interesting thrift stores with variety. With my partner we did the Escape from Ljubljana Castle...

Ljubljana, Solo travel

Not Ljubljana, in general, the whole Slovenian country is safe. As myself, I love to explore the city and new food also, so I recommend that! Slovenians have very good pizza in the center of Ljubljana and I loved the cocktails too! If you want to try many things in the center of Ljubljana while you travel, you should have a budget of 300-400 euro just for yourself for 5 or 7 days let’s say. I stayed in a rented apartment which my friend is living, she is studying in Ljubljana. I purchased a...

Ljubljana

Ljubljana is safe especially during the day. There is no pickpocketing, or it is highly unusual. I would say it is less safe to be out alone at night. At that time I would for sure avoid areas like the train station...

Ljubljana

I'd say it's really really safe. Maybe at night a bit less, but still quite safe. There were only like 3 instances in my entire life when I was unsure of going somewhere at night. I'd still say to be cautious, but compared to other European capitals it's super safe.

I walk from my summer job in centre for 40 min home at 1AM and never had problems in 2 years of doing so. Im 20 and dressed in shorts and a crop top usually. The most it can happen is some light catcalling but no more than that

One thing I really appreciate about Slovenia is how safe it feels. From the moment I arrived, I noticed that people are relaxed and don't constantly worry about their belongings or personal safety. It is common to see people walking alone, even late in the evening, and there is generally a calm atmosphere everywhere. Personally, I feel comfortable going for a walk at night, using public transportation, or spending time in the city without being stressed about theft or crime.

Ljubljana is preaty safe if you avoid some places that are filled with drugs or some shady areas that are filled with homeless people. I recommend avoiding under road pasages for pedestrians. Most dangerous is in the centre but in the spots that a normal tourist would never look.

I can walk down the street while listening to music at night without worrying. I have never seen any crime for the past few months. Everyone is chill and safe. Never saw or heard any pickpockets in the city.
