It isn't the oldest or the biggest, but Cerknica might just be home to Slovenia's most entertaining carnival.

At first glance, Vitanje is another button-cute Slovenian village steeped in history and tradition, but this darling is home to the future of space travel. Its most famous son would be proud.

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.

Trbovlje’s history is forever linked to its development as a centre of Slovenian industry, but what does that mean for its future? There’s a lot more to Slovenia’s ugliest town than meets the eye.

A shimmering turquoise lake, a picture-perfect island in the water, an equally picture-perfect church at the heart of that. A dramatic castle on top of a hill. Jagged snow-capped mountains in the background. If you gave a child a blank piece of paper and some pens and told them to draw a beautiful lake, they would almost certainly draw Lake Bled.
