Embarking on an independent adventure can often feel overwhelming, but if you’ve always dreamed of striking out on your own, then starting small can be the way to go. As a compact country, Slovenia’s best bits are all within easy reach of each other, meaning Slovenia solo travel isn’t quite as daunting as tackling one of Europe’s heavyweights (such as France or Spain). Although trying to spell the name of its capital (Ljubljana) might be off-putting, the city is eminently welcoming and filled with friendly locals who can point you in the direction of the best Slovenian restaurants or photo-worthy façades. Further afield, Slovenia’s serene natural landscapes are tailor-made for meditative moments during your solo trip. In fact, the phrase ‘good things come in small packages’ could have been penned in reference to this charming Central European country.

"We had an unforgettable trip to Slovenia. We particularly appreciated Original Travel’s seamless organisation and the fact that our expectations were perfectly met. The itinerary was particularly well planned and ideally paced. Our consultant’s availability and responsiveness were second to none, and she made us feel like more than a customer. Quality comes at a cost, but we were glad to have made that choice. We were delighted with our first experience with Original Travel and highly recommend them for organising a tailor-made holiday to Slovenia. "

Slovenia is a natural choice for active types, who will be kept endlessly entertained by the country’s outdoor pursuits. Hiking through Triglav National Park, kayaking across Lake Bled and cycling through the Julian Alps are all equally enjoyable unaccompanied as in a group. Slovenia solo travel is also perfect for those who crave some peace and quiet, and while the Adriatic Coast is only 29 miles long, its seaside towns (Koper, Izola and Piran) and pretty beaches (Portorož, Piran and Mestna) provide welcome retreats for solo sun-seekers.


For the culinary curious, exploring Ljubljana’s growing food scene is an excellent way to fill your itinerary during Slovenia solo travel. The Odprta Kuhna (Open Kitchen) is teeming with all manner of treats, from classic Slovenian street food (including burgers) to fancier offerings (such as grilled steak and Slovene wine). Fuelled by these authentic delicacies, head up to Ljubljana Castle, which provides panoramic views of the jewel-box city’s colourful buildings. If you fancy some accompaniment during your solo trip, take a tour of the capital’s Old Town alongside a local guide who will introduce you to Jože Plecnik’s innovative architecture, which has become integral to Ljubljana’s identity.
