Slovenia
Slovenia, little Slovenia. Always the richest part of the former Yugoslavia, this is today one of the finest places in the world to visit, a tiny pocket of prosperity and stability in a region still bubbling under with crime, corruption, ethnic tension and uneasy truces. Slovenia is the one that got away, escaping, almost 20 years ago now, almost entirely unharmed from the clutches of a Yugoslavia heading for war.Boasting one of the highest standards of living in the world, contemporary Slovenia is proof that small is beautiful. Covering just over 20,000 square kilometres - or roughly 1/4 the size of Ireland - the country punches well above its weight when it comes to natural beauty: mountains covered in snow and ski resorts by winter, beaches and rocky bays good for sunbathing and sailing by summer. Add in the deceptively Lilliputian, almost fairytale capital of Ljubljana, complete with castles, palaces and brightly painted houses, and you have a destination good to go all year round.
In Your Pocket has been publishing a range of guides to this little gem of a country for well over a year now. Besides our blue-ribbon publication Ljubljana In Your Pocket we also publish a guide to Maribor, and are currently preparing a guide to Portorož, Piran, Koper and Izola: the jewels of the Slovenian coast.
Here at inyourpocket.com you can also browse our full and thorough online guides to the mountain resorts of Bled, Bohinj and Kranjska Gora.
Enjoy Slovenia.

Don't be misled by the name, it's an uber stylish bar for sure, but a fantastic choice for whisky, rum or brandy drinkers.Lit up with pink floodlights on the outside at night, so you can't miss it.[...]
