Is it underrated or actually just boring?
>>2643168I'm curious as well, I have a decent amount of family back there and would like to spend a month or so faffing about in the balkans and surrounding areas
>>2643168>>2643168Depends on what you want to do. If you go expecting Ljubljana to be a secret undiscovered Budapest you're in for disappointment.
>>2643171Nobody in Slovenia wants to be reminded of or associated with Balkans.
Everyone I've ever met who went there fucking loved it. I want to do it next year in the fall and hit Lake Bled for some hiking
>>2643168As far as nature goes it's pretty underrated. The cave systems are amazing and the rural villages are nice. As far as the cities go it's pretty alright.
>>2643168Just boring.As expensive as Switzerland but without the beautiful Alps to justify the expense.
>>2643168Rightful Austrian clay.
>>2643168It's unironically just Austria but the language is different.t. Austrian
>>2643690what does that mean? Liederhosen and yodelling, but in Slovenian?
>>2643694Same living standard but without the africans and other brownoids
>>2643790So... a higher living standard.
>>2643581What?
>>2643260>Everyone I've ever met who went there fucking loved it.I didn't love it, but I was only in Ljublana for a few days and it was freezing cold at the time
Lakes and rivers are great, mountains are very nice, cities are nice and diversity-free. >boat down the Soča river in summer>ski in Maribor in winter>capital in summerIt's not cheap by CE/EE standards, but not Switzerland-tier either. Definitely underrated. Would I go back? More likely than no. I'd skip Slovakia for it, no doubt.>>2643836yup
>>2643168cheaper than switzerland or austria for alpine style holidays. Other balkan people make fun of them, calling them gay sissies. Idk why.
>>2643168I went there last year and absolutely loved it. Here's a small breakdown of every place I visited but take note that I visited during springtime:>LjubljanaCharming small city with great locals. Great place to eat pizza for some reason. Underrated part of town is by the river Gradascica where plenty of restaurants are lined up.>Postojna & PredjamaPostojna is unironically the most touristy place in Slovenia imo but well worth it. The train ride and exploring the cave system was really kino. Predjama is boring in the inside unless you're into history stuff.>BledDefinitely don't recommend it as a day trip. Stay here for a few nights as a base for exploring the nearby mountains. Jog around the lake. Hike to one of the viewpoints of Lake Bled to appreciate the scenery. Not filled with tourists surprisingly. The town kinda feels empty.The highlight of my trip was definitely picrel. I hiked to one of the nearby mountains from Bled and saw an endless field of daffodils. Just pure bliss, no people around. Just nature in its full beauty. So yeah, visit it before it becomes the next big hotpots for cancerous travel vloggers. Think of it as Switzerland but no gondolas or trains to get to those scenic viewpoints, which keeps the leisure tourists at bay.

>>2643168It's calm, peaceful but definitely not boring
