5 Reasons to Visit Slovenia | (We Need a Do Over!)

[@johnbyrne8760]

Loved your video. We are spending 3 months travelling by rental car from August and have planned Germany, Netherlands and Austria. After watching video we are cancelling Graz and spending a week in Slovenia. Thanks

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

John Byrne nice! Hope you love it as much as we do.

[@EdwardGarrenMFT]

My father's family is from Slovenia and my brother and I have been to visit them twice, once in summer, once in winter. We LOVE Slovenia for all the reasons you mention. Our family lives in Kamnik, Kranj and Ljubljana. We have stayed at Terme' Snovik and Pod Skalo. Both experiences were beyond delightful. We were planning a return this summer, but will wait until travel returns to something resembling "normal." After all, the country has "love" in it's name, it doesn't get better than that !!

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

We love Slovenia tourism’ slogan. “Feel sLOVEenia” It’s a beautiful place. We often say that if we were ever to live abroad that it would be first on the list of options.

[@Prin_Cess_007]

thank you! Added to the bucket list, what a beautiful country! Looks STUNNING!

[@laraabram5916]

I'm glad you liked visiting our small country! Hope you come back soon!

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Lara Abram we loved it! We may try to drive over during our visit to Italy this year!

[@laraabram5916]

Yes! I hope you will have nice weather then tho :D

[@noblethomasgradioshmiirsmr1046]

Lara its spectacular

[@travis3974]

My family is from there and it is a very beautiful country. My family and I are planning to see it soon I hope

[@travis3974]

My family is from there and we are planning a trip to go see where we come from soon. I have look at a ton of pictures and watch as much videos as I can. It is such a beautiful country

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

It’s extremely beautiful! Enjoy your trip!

Travis, did you come to sLOVEnija?

[@travis3974]

@@pticasenica178 No, we didn't get the chance yet. To many things came up and changed our plans

Man this was so nice!! I'm Slovenian and its so great to hear people enjoy our chicken like country.

Heading to Slovenia for a hiking trip in September and I can't wait! Every video I watch makes me more and more excited. Thanks for sharing this & sorry about the weather (fingers crossed!)

[@annman15136]

Thank you so much for giving an insight! Slovenia is in my bucket list for sure. The more I'm getting to know about the country, more desperate I'm getting to visit!

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Definitely go soon! It’s one of our favorites. Just got back from a return visit!

[@snehalmunot6404]

Wait till you visit Piran! Its a quaint town in the south that feels like its out of a movie, its magical and... its affordable :) Slovenia is a lovely package with a European charm, the alps, a lovely coastline and small enough to not feel overwhelmed!

[@nazfromqueens]

This looks lovely. Switzerland seems way too expensive by comparison. Great travel tips too. Really like this vlog. Happy to support it!😁

[@johnnymartinjohansen]

The absolute BEST thing to do in Slovenia: Rent a car. Find a village that barely is visited by tourists at all. I don't think ugly villages exist in Slovenia, all I've been to have been beautiful. Get to the cafe (every village seems to have at least one), get cheap REAL local food, it will almost guaranteed be perfect. And meet the friendly, smiling locals, who often are more than happy to bump down at your table for a chat if you ask them to join. I've been around 35 countries, the rural areas of Slovenia is high up on my personal top list. Btw, Ljubljana is fantastic, but the countryside is even better.

[@bradcarr1606]

Great video folks! I'm heading to Slovenia in July and this is really helpful. :)

[@karmen6064]

Should you return to Slovenia I suggest to take a trip to Prekmurje and Bela krajina to see it's beautiful scenery, which is way different than mountain landscape!

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

karmen thank you so much for the suggestion! We will definitely at that to our list! Cheers!

[@masagolob3215]

You guys are amazing! Love the video!!❤️

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

[@altergreenhorn]

In case of returning to slovenia for more than a day google Stud farm Lipica , Postojna cave, Velika planina, Logarska dolina (Logar valley), Piran...Maribor, Pohorje...

@@LandlockedLovebirds That is great. I also hope to visit your beautiful country someday. Cheers.

[@ninaceh6975]

You should visit my little medival town Radovljica... it lies just 6 kilometres from Bled lake. The historic part of the town is beautiful... and there is Chocolate festival in April.

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Nina Čeh Thanks for the suggestion! We are actually planning a trip back to Slovenia in late November and early December. I just googled some photos of Radovljica, and it looks gorgeous. We will definitely add that to the list of places we need to visit on this next trip!

[@ninaceh6975]

let me know when you are here and I can show you my town

[@OneShotAdventures]

Great video, makes me want to go back to Slovenia and see some of the things that I missed. Really loved the place. I just posted a Slovenia video on my channel too

Great video from a great place ! Looking forward to see more videos We subscribed 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️♥️

[@uros.novina]

Great video! I only have a small problem with your "we've only seen about half of the country" comment. I've lived here all my life, I've visited many places, tourist spots, off the beaten path places and hidden gems most people will never know about (unfortunately) and I can positively saj I have not seen half of my country.

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Uroš Novina you’re right! Our statement was very much figurative and not literal. We know that we have a ton left to see! We can’t wait to visit again and explore some more.

[@mrgreenman2290]

Im slovenian, i suggest you to check out the Goriška Brda region, just google it, you will want to visit it:)

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

peter jakoncic thank you for the tip! Hopefully we can visit again soon!

[@jisjoseph6004]

Hi yaa how is Slovenia in November ?

[@purpleberry86]

Hello there! Loved your video...its quiet informative. Can you tell us more about the pass you were talking about? The one which is essential for driving in Slovenia and where we can buy it from? Thanks Neha

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Neha Panjwani thanks! Here is more information about the vignettes. www.tolls.eu/slovenia We purchased one at the petrol station just across the border into Slovenia.

[@beats_si]

3:00 Some scenes from Narnia were filmed near

Next time you visit slovenia, go to Zijalo in Mirna Peč😁

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Anja Erpe thank you! We just booked flights to come back in November!

[@kalkun009]

o'sum place ..wish i cud be there....lucky u all...

[@joejacoby2464]

Thanks so much for sharing! Planning on visiting Slovenia next year as an adjunct to the Adriatic side of Italy. Would love to know more about finding B&B's there. Did you travel mostly in the western half (other than driving from Zagreb)? We'll likely drive in from Venice, maybe spend a day or two on the Istrian peninsula, then Ljubljana and Bled. Awesome video, much appreciated!

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Joe Jacoby thanks for the compliment! We booked most of our lodging using booking.com. You can choose to search for apartments and Home stays in the search filters. Also check out Airbnb. Booking does a nice job with their rating system to help provide high quality options at fair prices. In Bled we stayed at Alp Pension, and we really enjoyed it. The rooms were split with separate living and sleeping areas, super clean, and well appointed. You can eat dinner at the guesthouse, and the owner was an amazing cook. Be sure to let them know if you want to join for dinner. We just showed up and they almost didn’t have enough for us. We only stayed in Bled and Ljubljana, but we drove all around Triglav National Park and the Soca River Valley. We crossed the border into Italy somewhere up in the mountains there, but it was heavy rain, so we didn’t venture too far across.

[@joejacoby2464]

Thanks much! It looks in the video like you guys had a really great time there, very kind of you to share the info. Good tip too on the toll sticker, will make sure we pay attention to that! We like the same sort of travel - would rather rent a car, stay with local B&Bs, eat in the same places the locals do - much more fun than being led around on a tour.

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

Joe Jacoby I was just in Ljubljana a couple of weeks ago. I used air BnB and loved it. Stayed with a very friendly host in walking distance to tghe city Center.

[@bojanstare8667]

@@BlazVeber69 Za svoj denar boš v USA samo v Mc Donalds. Hrana, ki je zate draga pri nas, lahko cene v USA pomnožiš z 10-20, pa boš dobil solidno ceno pri njih. Ko sem Japoncu začasa tolarjev dal račun v tolarjih, mi je hotel plačati isti znesek v USD. KO sem ga vprašal, če se mu to ne zdi preveč, mi je odvrnil, da je takšno kosilo v Tokiu še enkrat dražje v USD. Ne bodi presenečen, če je takšna kvaliteta, kot je pri nas, za njihove pojme zelo poceni.

[@NikoSkrbinec]

Lovely video, Thank you, the next time you visit our beautiful country I would reccomend you visit the Karst area, Postojna cave, Unesco herItage site of ŠKOCJAN CAVES, Lipica(The Lippizaner horse home!), Vineyards of Goriška Brda, town called Štanjel etc...and if you have time go to the Slovenian coast: Towns like Piran, (Piran salt fields) Portorož, Izola....

Thanks so much Darren & Stephanie for giving me a quick look at Slovenia. I've been following this guy & his brother making RC plane videos from Slovenia kzbin.info and it always looked like such a beautiful country in the background as they were flying their planes. :-)

[@Sergio7z]

So far so good. Even we didn't know all those places you just visited in here. BTW thanks for your kind video about our country even if it's the small piece of land of the variety of land diversity. By saying this I rather visit a more developed part of our country. It is totally different from Texas i was been in 2014 i really enjoying it with the food and nice peoples and culture with it.BTW Keep up the good work. Thumbs up.

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Exadrus Pix thank you! We will be visiting Slovenia again in November of 2019. We are excited to be back!

[@Sergio7z]

@@LandlockedLovebirds You are always welcome.

[@ColleenDelaney918]

Would love to know how you rented your car and if it was easy to park once you got to places. Were there parking lots or was it all parallel?

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Colleen Delaney we rented through Oryx at Zagreb airport and dropped the car at Dubrovnik airport. Driving in Croatia and Slovenia was mostly pretty easy. Wide and well maintained roads and highways. Parking everywhere in Slovenia was pretty easy. Old town areas in Croatia presented a bit more trouble. Luckily, our lodging owners were good about helping us find free parking a walkable distance away from the crowded tourist areas.

[@pticasenica178]

I love my sLOVEnija

[@zdenkaredek49]

I wonder, why nobody ever pronounce Slovenija like we do. We do not pronounce "e" like in an English word "freedom", but like the second "e" in a word "event" or even better the firts "e" in a word "venue", just a little bit narrower. The funny fact in our language is nevertheless (among millions of others :)) that "e" in can be all the way from not pronounced at all, or very narrow, almost "e" in English, to very wide like in "America". Oh, yeah! How come, you do not pronounce "Ameerica"? We should say "Amirika" then 🤗

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Zdenka Redek 😂😂 we tried our best! Thanks for the pronunciation tip. We’re headed back to Slovenia in November, and we will try to pronounce it correctly this time. Vowels can be pronounced all different ways in English, so when we try to pronounce them in other languages, we usually make a mockery of them. Thanks! Cheers!

[@zdenkaredek49]

Well, first lady is trying her best in American English, too. 😂😂😂 We all do, I guess, and we all need a little time...

[@Sarah-ii9ce]

Hi which month did you go to Slovenia

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Sarah me we went in early June. The owner of the guesthouse that we stayed in said that it rarely rains for several days that time of year. We would maybe suggest July or August for a better chance at sunny weather though.

[@LaliLile]

Landlocked Lovebirds hi guys, I’m from Slovenia also (Ljubljana). If I may suggest, don’t go in July or August as there is much more tourists visiting us at that time. June is the best month to visit us, you were just extremely unlucky with weather. Ohh and don’t forget to visit Postojnska jama (Postojnas’ cave). One of the most beautiful underground places in the world with unique animal species.

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

LaliLile great advice! Thank you!!

[@alexandergross689]

Did you visit the caves in slovenia ?

[@LandlockedLovebirds]

Alexander Gross we visited Postojna Cave, to see it from the outside, but we did not have the time to enter. We would love to go back and explore more of the Slovenian cave system. Have you been?

[@stepchicken3238]

MAN...! That music(?) was annoying and distracting. Is it a 'millennials' obsession to have it on so many of their vlogs?? I stayed in Radovlica, an attractive, old town about 30 miles from the capital, but only 5 or so miles from Bled, and well-positioned for the mountains and castles, etc. As you suggest, Bohinj is more natural, un-touristy. Because of the mountains in the north, flash storms get channeled towards Ljubljana in the summer months. I got caught on the motorway outside the capital and it was a ferocious downpour - windscreen wipers couldn't manage. Need to have a car or hire there. The bus service is good but it will lose you time. Sadly, what still exists of their rail system is falling apart - bad mistake! Well worth going if only for the cycling and walking. Food is v.good - a kind of fusion European. Most people under 40 speak near fluent English. Those that want beaches go to Croatia and, of course, the Italians, Austrians...have their own Alps, so Slovenia should stay quiet for a while yet, I hope.

[@ninaceh6975]

You were in my hometown Radovljica. 😁
