For a country of pint-sized proportions (it’s smaller than Wales), Slovenia has more than its fair share of road trip routes. Renting a car and hitting the open road is one of the best ways to see the Central European country’s postcard perfect towns, dinky villages and romantic mountainscapes. On one of our Slovenia road trips, you can lean into a sense of adventure, roll down the windows and breathe in the fresh alpine air as you meander along the Adriatic Coastline or through the foothills of the Julian Alps. Notoriously challenging to spell (and pronounce), Ljubljana – Slovenia’s jewel-box capital – acts as the ideal starting line for your four-wheeled voyage. From here, allow our travel experts to steer you in the direction of Lake Bled and Triglav National Park, the Sava Valley or the Pannonian Plain.

Slovenia Road Trips Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

Slovenia is every nature-lovers dream and despite its smaller proportions, it manages to pack in everything from lush forests and alpine lakes to soaring mountain ranges and Adriatic coastline. With so much ground to cover, having the freedom to forge your own path is an enduring benefit of Slovenia road trips and there are multiple routes to choose between. Navigating the roadway from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Coastline showcases Slovenia’s scenic standouts, including Triglav National Park, Lake Bled and Vršic Pass. Take a break from driving and enjoy some well-earned relaxation with a glass of Slovenian wine from the vineyards of Goriška Brda.


Driving isn’t the only means of transport during Slovenia road trips, and travellers can swap four wheels for two (and seatbelts for bike helmets) when traversing some of the country’s most well-known roads. Food lovers can focus their itinerary around the Slovenia Green Gourmet Route, which combines food, cycling and picturesque destinations, or the pathways alongside the Sava River, historically one of Europe’s most important waterways. Both options feature vineyards, Michelin-starred restaurants, traditional bistros and bustling markets which give you a taste of the nation’s intriguing gastronomic culture.
