Slovenia is one of the most underrated countries in Europe. Located between the Balkans and Central Europe, it is often overlooked by travelers because of its more famous neighbors.

Bordered by Austria to the North, Croatia to the South East, Hungary to North East and Italy to the West, it controls the major transit routes in Europe. However, this is not enough to draw more tourists.

So if you are wondering where to visit in Slovenia, there are several places that you can check out in this amazing country. 

To start with, here are 14 things to do in Slovenia and the reason why Slovenia should be your next destination.
