I’m quite fond of finding emerging destinations before they’re dubbed cool. There’s something about the chase of finding out about a place before anyone else and enjoying it sans crowds. After that trip, I promised myself to return to the country and see all it has to offer. Finally, it happened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slovenia is a great choice for solo travellers because it is safe and affordable. There are also endless activities on offer to keep yourself busy. Winter has become increasingly popular as a more affordable alternative to neighbouring countries\u2019 ski resorts. However, this trip took place in the warmer months by way of a road trip across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSlovenia in Summer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSummer is busy season in Slovenia and the best time of year to experience the country. Because the country is 80% covered by the Carpathian mountains, the seasons in Slovenia are very distinct. In July you can expect half the month to be raining, either all day or intermittently. The weather is hot and humid, but each time it rains the temperature cools off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
June and August are the most popular months as they are similarly warm nut dryer. The average temperature is around 21-26 degrees celsius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer activities are mostly centred around the lakes. Lake Bled is Slovenia’s crowning jewel of tourism, though nearby Lake Bohinj is a great option if you’re looking to escape the crowds. Elsewhere in Slovenia Piran is the most popular seaside town, located on Slovenia’s small portion of the Adriatic coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Lake-Bledi-n-Winter-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSlovenia in Winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nVisiting Slovenia in winter means less crowds and a completely different experience. As someone who loves the ski season, I planned to visit Slovenia in January this year but because of other commitments, ended up visiting in summer (of which I have no regrets!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winter in Slovenia is characterised by skiing, snow activities and an average temperate of 3 degrees celsius. One of the biggest draw-cards for travellers to Slovenia in winter is the affordability of ski resorts in Slovenia. Slovenia’s Kranjska Gora lists #2 in the most affordable ski destinations in Europe<\/a><\/strong> after Bansko in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Guide](\"https:\/\/www.worldofwanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Ljubljana-6-1-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow to Spend 10 Days in Slovenia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMy first visit to Slovenia was short and sweet so I was determined to make this trip more comprehensive. I wanted to see all the highlights of Slovenia without spending too little time in each destination and after my trip I would recommend 10 days as the perfect amount of time to visit the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day One & Two: Ljubljana <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nLjubljana is Slovenia’s capital city and will be your point of arrival if you are flying in to Slovenia. The city is comparably small in size to other European capitals, though if you’re not too short on time I would recommend spending two days and two nights here to really see all the city has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With two days in Ljubljana you can really take in the atmosphere of the city. Ljubljana is without a doubt one of the prettiest capitals in Europe and has a great vibe in the summer months. Be sure to visit the Ljubljana Castle, dine al fresco along the river, wander the city streets without a destination and eventually make your way to Tivoli Gardens. There is a small cafe on the terrace that is beautiful to sit and let the afternoon pass you by with a book and coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
