Top 5 Slovenian Souvenirs
SchnappsIt may say more about us than anything else, but Slovenian schnapps is our gift of choice when visiting friends and family abroad.... -
Slovenian Weather
In a nutshell, Slovenian climate comprises hot summers and harsh winters. The latter seems to be due to its proximity to the alps, the former courtesy of the mediterranean tendencies of the Adriatic sea (and of course its latitude: 46°07'11.... -
Where is Slovenia?
So where is Slovenia? With only one game remaining during the group stage of the 2010 World Cup a popular answer to this question (here in Ljubljana at least) was 'At the top of Group C!' Another popular answer was provided by a bit on Late Night with David Letterman in the US - which was quick to gain viral status on YouTube (although will likely not find its way into any official tourism campaigns any time soon).... -
Traffic penalties increased in Slovenia
Although the number of road deaths in Slovenia decreased dramatically after stiffer fines for traffic violations and drink driving were introduced in 2008, the penalties were again raised as of 1 July 2011.... -
Gorenje
Slovenia often sits high on 'per capita' lists of bio-diversity, olympic medal hourdes, and car ownership, but the industrious small country can boast various successes on the world business stage.... -
Velenje Coal Mine
It's no exaggeration to say that modern Velenje in large part owes its existence to its coal mine, which has been continually operating since the 19th century and still produces some four million tons of coal annually - which is primarily used at the nearby Šoštanj power plant to supply around 1/3 of Slovenia's energy needs.... -
Why Slovenia? Part II
Last time, I discussed why cobblestone, socialism, advertising and Rog's Pony bicycles all help to make Slovenia a better place to live than America.... -
Best Slovenian Ski & Spa Resorts
If city centres across Slovenia seem a bit empty during the winter season, that's because an inordinate number of Slovenes choose to spend their snowy days and nights at one of the tiny nation's countless ski resorts or almost equally numerous spa centres.... -
The Legend of Peter Klepec
The story of Peter Klepec is one of the most widely known folktales in Slovenia. Likely originating sometime in the 16th or 17th century, it was passed down orally from generation to generation until finally taking written form many years later.... -
Slovenian Humour
One of the most beautiful things about Slovenia is its size. The place is tiny. Yet you can still enjoy completely different regions, weather conditions, food, people and neighbouring countries, all within less than three hours driving.... -
The Top 10 Most Romantic Restaurants in Ljubljana 2013
Valentine's Day is fast approaching once again, and although some may brush it off as yet another American capitalism driven perversion of sacred Catholic tradition, its roots as a romantic holiday actually date back to a fellow called Geoffrey Chaucer, aka the author of the Canterbury Tales and the father of English literature.... -
Why Slovenia? Part I
When a Slovene meets a foreigner the first question they usually ask is the standard, 'Where are you from?' - which is understandable.... -
Celica: Ljubljana's prison-turned Hostel
Chosen by Lonely Planet as the 'Hippest Hostel in the World' last year, Celica was formerly a military prison in the Metelkova army barracks.... -
Slovenian wines continue to gain popularity abroad
In recent years Slovenian wines have become increasingly popular abroad, perhaps most notably in the United States....
