We traveled to Slovenia last November by night train. Arrived in Ljubljana, we picked up our rental and toured the country for a week. Its small size is really convenient as you can pretty much surround the country in just a few hours. We visited Ljubljana, Koper, Piran, Soča Valley, Lake Bled, Celje, and Maribor. The photos below are from Piran, where we witnessed some serious flooding, and Lake Bled. The highlight of our trip was a dinner and night at the hotel restaurant Hiša Franko, which is situated pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Our room was beautiful and very spacious and the meal was among the best I’ve ever eaten.
