Everything couples need to know for a romantic holiday in Slovenia
Slovenia is a hidden gem in the heart of Europe. With its breathtaking nature, charming towns and intimate atmosphere, this country is perfect for a romantic holiday. Whether you’re looking for an adventure in the mountains or relaxation by a lake, Slovenia has everything your heart desires.
Why Slovenia is ideal for couples
Slovenia brings together everything you’re looking for in a romantic destination. The country is compact, so you can reach several highlights without long travel times. The countryside is unspoilt and offers countless opportunities for romantic walks. Set off on an adventure together.
The country is known for its friendly locals and authentic air. Only in Bled and along the coast will you find mass tourism. The perfect balance between peace and activity. Ideal for couples wanting to rediscover each other during their holiday.
The best time to visit for romance
Every season has its charm in Slovenia. In spring, flowers bloom and temperatures are pleasant. Summer brings warm days, perfect for swimming in crystal-clear lakes. Autumn shows the country in gorgeous colours, while winter creates a fairytale atmosphere and you can even enjoy great skiing.
For most couples, May to early October is best. Then you can make the most of outdoor activities and the mild weather. The summer evenings are pleasant and perfect for romantic dinners under the stars.
Romantic destinations you must not miss
The famous Lake Bled is of course a must-see. The castle on the rock and the little island in the centre make it a near fairytale setting. Take a rowing boat together to the island or stroll around the lake at sunset.
Lake Bohinj is less well known, but just as romantic. Hidden away in Triglav National Park, it offers even more privacy. Here you can go kayaking together or simply enjoy the peace and quiet.
Ljubljana, the capital, delights with its romantic old city centre. Walk hand in hand across the Tromostovje Bridge or enjoy dinner by the river. The city is small enough to explore on foot, but large enough to enjoy some culture and lively cafés.
Activities for two
Slovenia offers endless possibilities for couples. Go for a walk together in the Julian Alps or explore the mysterious caves of Postojna. For those who like a bit of excitement, there are mountain biking trails and climbing routes.
Local culinary delights and places to eat
Enjoy the rich Slovenian cuisine, which is also perfect for a romantic dinner. Try traditional dishes such as žganci and fresh trout. Treat yourself to an evening out in an atmospheric restaurant in Ljubljana, or choose an authentic mountain restaurant with beautiful views.
Useful tips for your stay
Slovenia uses the euro, which makes things easy for Dutch visitors. Your regular bank card and credit cards are accepted almost everywhere.
Most Slovenians speak good English or German. In tourist spots, communication is generally not a problem.
Hire a car for maximum flexibility. Slovenia has well-maintained roads. For the motorway, you will need a vignette. And always drive with your headlights on—this is mandatory.
The only country with LOVE
Slovenia has something romantic about it. It’s the only country with the letters ‘Love’ in its name. You’ll find hearts as photo spots in many places. And discover the mountain pass ‘Ljubelj’, which is Slovene for ‘the beloved’.
Where to stay for the perfect romantic holiday
Don’t choose a standard city hotel, go for a unique experience. Slovenia offers beautiful accommodation right in the midst of nature. Think of luxury apartments overlooking the mountains.
Pay attention to bed quality and make sure there’s air conditioning, especially in summer. A good bed is very important for a romantic holiday. It’s better to book somewhere outside the main tourist areas like 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 a couple needs for an unforgettable holiday. And as it happens, these apartments are also located at the Ljubelj mountain pass. Indeed: the beloved ????
