Your Slovenia trip starts with the right base.

Independent guides to six starting points, with practical advice on arrival, season and where to stay.
A useful place to start
What kind of Slovenia trip is yours?
Choose a focus and how you expect to travel. Start with the matching guides, then check the exact area before comparing rooms.
Your starting point
Give a first trip room to breathe
Compare the lakes, mountains and coast before choosing your overnight stops. For a short trip, leave some places for another visit.
Before you book: Choose your bases before deciding on a car. Check each arrival and onward journey with the transport guide. How will you get around?
Choose your landscape
Four destinations, four distinct holidays
Start with the feeling and daily rhythm you want. Each guide then narrows the best place to stay.
Wild lake valley
Bohinj
For swimming, hiking and village days around Slovenia’s largest permanent natural lake. Choose between the rail hub, the eastern lake end, Stara Fužina and the quieter west.
