Good things come in small packages, and Slovenia offers ample proof of that. This Central European country packs breathtaking mountain scenery, lively coastal resorts, fashionable cities, crystal-clear lakes and rivers, and isolated villages into an area that can be driven across in around 3 hours.
Better still, thanks to its compact size, travelers can take in most or all of the top places to visit within the course of one trip. In the span of a few days, a visitor can walk in the Alps, kayak a glacial waterway, visit some world-class winemaking regions and take a dip in the sea. Slovenia, hiding in plain sight, is waiting to be explored by anyone unfamiliar with its cities, regions or landmarks.
