Slovenia: The Bradt Travel Guide has all the background and practical information you'll need. It uncovers the country's little-known highlights - from hundreds of caves, excellent wines, quality skiing, myriad churches and relaxing health spas through to its emerging role as one of Europe's top adventure playgrounds.
Inside you will find:

*Best places to eat and stay
*The historic centers of Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Kranj, and Ptuj
*The Venetian towns of the Adriatic coast
*Wild escapes and green parks
*Outdoor pursuits - from gentle hikes to white-water rafting

Customer Reviews

Current, but that's the best you can say about it
Hard to follow and read, at least after we had used Lonely Planet and Rough guides. Bought this one because it was supposed to be the most current one out there, but was disappointed re coverage, organization of information, and just general usability.
