52 Places, One Country
The premise is simple; 52 places, 1 country. The country in question is Slovenia, Europe’s great achievement. The places? The dispatches below detail them all in loving detail. From Bled to Bloke, Ljubljana to Lendava, Kamnik to Krško and Maribor to Murska Sobota, this is Slovenia.
30: Idrija // Mercury and Lace, Obviously
Idrija is famous for mercury and lace, two things that are just about as polar opposites as it gets. Oh, and some seriously good food…
27: Brežice // A Real Room’s Room
Brežice’s Posavje Museum is one of Slovenia’s finest, a treaure-trove of fascinating exhibits and incredible aesthetics.
14: Cerknica // A Parade of Fools
It isn't the oldest or the biggest, but Cerknica might just be home to Slovenia's most entertaining carnival.
12: Murska Sobota // Pay Attention To Your Friends
A scorching Saturday morning may not be the best time to visit Slovenia’s most isolated city, but beggars can’t be choosers. A day in Murska Sobota, the centre of Prekmurje.
10: Žalec // Beer Fountain. A Fountain of Beer
Žalec has a beer fountain. What else is there to say? It doesn’t get much more magnificent than that.
9: Vrhnika // An Important Man and An Important Beer
Vrhnika is more than a modern-day commuter city. This is a town of proud literary and brewing history, bridging the gap between writing and boozing.
8: Celje // Counts Don’t Marry for Love
You can’t talk about Celje without mentioning the Counts, and you can’t really talk about the Counts without talking about love.
