Slovenia
The landscapes of Slovenia are filled with forests, castles, and medieval towns. Slovenia is also a wild area of Europe, featuring coast, mountains, and lakes. Here are the best spots for those seeking nature, history, and adventure (kayaking, sup, canyoning, climbing, skydiving). UNESCO wonders, fabulous local products with world-class cuisine, and excellent wine productions you can discover every day. You can find local bread, cheese, olives, vegetables, and fruit at markets throughout the country. Student meals are subsidized by the government, the Open Kitchen offers the world food on Fridays. Slovenia is an awesome destination for study between the Mediterranean, Alps, Karst, and Pannonian Plain, all in one for the unexpected study experience. Soaking up the sun, savoring every Mediterranean morsel, and partying between the bars are all popular activities. But the area has plenty more to do than perhaps what meets the eye.
We recommend you to watch video to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Slovenian statehood and the taking over of the presidency of the Council of the EU, that features Slovenian national anthem with english/ german/ french/ italian or hungarian subtitles.
