Most of the country experiences warm summers and cold winters.

The summer months see temperatures in a rough range of 21 to 27 degrees. But, July and August can reach up to 30 degrees. Thunderstorms are common in summer months, especially in the mountain regions.

Winters are cold and more humid. Temperatures hover around zero with dense fog in the mountains.

Slovenia has experienced infrequent terrorist strikes, protests, and public demonstrations. Take precautions whilst in public and avoid demonstrations when they occur. Stay vigilant in large crowds as small demonstrations can escalate quickly.

The country’s crime rate is low. Purse snatching and pick-pocketing are the most common crimes in tourist areas. Vehicle break-ins and theft do occur. Always lock the doors and park on well-lit streets or in garages when you can.

When drinking or attending nightclubs, keep your wits about you at all times and use common sense. Do not accept open drinks from people you don’t know and don’t leave your drinks unattended for any amount of time.

Documentation of human habitation in Slovenia dates back more than 250,000 years. This country has many opportunities to immerse yourself in history. One of the most popular places to do this is at Slovenia’s Ljubljana Old Town.

Located on the bank of the Ljubljanica River, this town is a must-visit. It offers a mix of impressive architecture and lovely restaurants, bars and cafes.

Grab a bite to eat in this town whilst enjoying incredible views of the Castle Hill or Preseren Square.

Below, you will find a detailed list of essentials you’ll want to take with you on your trip to Slovenia:

• Secure Bag – You are required to carry official identification at all times. You’ll need a safe way to carry that around. You must have a chit for everything you buy in Slovenia. Official inspectors may request proof of sale at any time.
• Credit Cards and Cash – Have credit cards and cash to pay for items or services. Traveller’s checks are not accepted in most locations.
• Layers of Clothing – Temperature varies throughout the day. While you may be comfortable in a t-shirt during the day, you may want longer trousers and a jacket once the sun goes down. Be prepared so you’re never too warm or too cold.

If you are in Slovenia and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.
