 Travel information about vacation/holiday in Slovenia

Republic of Slovenia is situated in the Alps and bordered by Austria, Italy, the Adriatic Sea (with the Slovenian Riviera), Croatia and Hungary. The capital is Ljubljana. In 1991, Slovenia became independent after the Ten-Day War and the Agreement of Brioni. On May 1, 2004 Slovenia became a member of the European Union and later of NATO. The country has a lot of natural beauty, ranging from rivers (Soca) to the Triglav National Park with the glacier lakes of Bled and Bohinj. Sights are further: the Vrsic Pass, with towns like Tolmin and Kobarid, the caves (Postojna), the caves of Skocjan, Lipica (with the Lipizzaner horses), Hrastovlje (church with frescoes), Novo Mesto, Brezice, Kostanjevica, Savinja , Maribor, Ptuj and the region around Murska Sobota.

A guide book is a book for tourists or travelers that provides details about a geographic location, tourist destination, or itinerary. It is the written equivalent of a tour guide. It will usually include details, such as phone numbers, addresses, prices, and reviews of hotels and other lodgings, restaurants, and activities. Maps of varying detail are often included. Sometimes historical and cultural information is also provided. Different guide books may focus on different aspects of travel, from adventure travel to relaxation, or be aimed at travellers with larger or smaller travel budgets. Guidebooks can have factual problems, information may be out of date (especially for regions undergoing rapid development), the author may have a hidden agenda (for example free meals or rooms in exchange for inclusion in the book or a favorable review -- compare tout). Guide books are generally intended to be used in conjunction with actual travel, although simply enjoying a guide book with no intention of visiting may be referred to as "armchair tourism".
