Everything you and your partner need to know for a romantic holiday in Slovenia
Slovenia is a hidden gem in the heart of Europe. With its breathtaking nature, charming cities and intimate atmosphere, it’s perfect for a romantic getaway. Whether you’re looking for an adventure in the mountains or relaxation by a lake, Slovenia has everything your heart desires.
Why Slovenia is perfect for couples
Slovenia brings together all the things you look for in a romantic destination. The country is compact, so you can reach several highlights without long travel times. The nature is unspoilt and offers endless opportunities for romantic walks. Go exploring together.
The country is known for its friendly people and authentic vibe. You’ll only find mass tourism in Bled and along the coast. The perfect balance between peace and activity. Ideal for couples who want to rediscover each other on holiday.
The best time to visit for romance
Every season has its charm in Slovenia. In spring, the flowers bloom and temperatures are pleasant. Summer offers warm days perfect for swimming in crystal-clear lakes. Autumn shows the country in beautiful colours, while winter creates a fairytale atmosphere and you can even enjoy great skiing.
For most couples, May to early October is ideal. You can make the most of outdoor activities and the mild weather. Summer evenings are pleasant and perfect for romantic dinners under the stars.
Romantic destinations you shouldn’t miss
The famous Lake Bled is, of course, a must-see. The castle perched on the rock and the little island in the lake make for an almost fairytale setting. Take a boat to the island together or walk around the lake at sunset.
Lake Bohinj is less known but just as romantic. It’s nestled in Triglav National Park and offers more privacy. Here, you can go kayaking together or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
Ljubljana, the capital, surprises with its romantic old town. Stroll hand in hand across the Triple Bridge or enjoy dinner by the river. The city is small enough to explore on foot, but big enough for culture and a lively atmosphere.
Activities for couples
Slovenia offers endless possibilities for couples. Go hiking together in the Julian Alps or explore the mysterious Postojna caves. For those who crave excitement, there are mountain bike trails and climbing options.
Local culinary delights and places to eat
Enjoy the rich Slovenian cuisine, perfect for a romantic dinner. Try traditional dishes like žganci and fresh trout. Treat yourself to an evening out at an atmospheric restaurant in Ljubljana, or pick an authentic mountain restaurant with a stunning view.
Useful tips for your stay
Slovenia uses the euro, making things easy for Dutch visitors. Nearly all places accept standard debit cards and credit cards.
Most Slovenians speak good English or German. In tourist areas, communication is usually not a problem.
Hire a car for maximum flexibility. Slovenia has well-maintained roads. You need a vignette for the motorway. And always drive with your headlights on. That’s compulsory.
The only country with LOVE
Slovenia has something romantic about it. It’s the only country with the word ‘Love’ in its name. You’ll find hearts as photo spots in many places. And discover the mountain pass ‘Ljubelj’, which means ‘the beloved’ in Slovenian.
Where to stay for the perfect romantic break
Don’t pick a standard city hotel, go for a unique experience. Slovenia is home to beautiful accommodation in the heart of nature. Think luxury apartments with mountain views.
Pay attention to bed quality and make sure there is air conditioning, especially in summer. A good bed matters greatly for a romantic holiday. It’s better to book outside the main tourist centres, such as Ljubljana and Bled, for more privacy, peace and romance.
For a truly romantic experience, we recommend the luxury apartments at Green Heart Suites. These are beautifully situated in nature and offer all the comfort couples need for an unforgettable holiday. And as it happens, these apartments are also right by the Ljubelj mountain pass. Indeed: ‘the beloved’ ???? .
