The Glory of Carniola: Slovenia is the new Switzerland, Ljubljana is the next Prague. — I think Slovenia is one of the finest and cleanest little countries one can imagine. And it’s centrally located. But to equate it with Switzerland, a tax haven and world banker is beyond laughable. And Switzerland also has numerous world-class cities (Zurish, Lucern, Geneva, Bern to name a few). Slovenia has Ljubljana and that’s that. That said Slovenia probably makes some of the best wine outside of France and Italy and as far as I’m concerned that’s good enough.
Anyway, this is an award-winning blog worth reading if you are looking for offbeat information and especially if you are ever planning a trip to the Slovenian side of the Adriatic which also includes the larger and more dominant country of Croatia with its stupendous attractions. If you are thinking of trips to Europe I’d advise the inexpensive Slovenia and Croatia as well as other former Yugoslav areas. This is where the Europeans go themselves to save money and have fun. Very accessible by train.
For those who want to see some pics, here is a slideshow I made in Slovenia.
