Slovenia Travel: How Expensive is Traveling in SLOVENIA?

[@vanessamalnar8955]

Just a mention for travelers that tipping in Slovenia isn't necessary. It's normal to give as much as the price says and the waiters won't be mad or anything, it's normal. Maybe in very fancy restaurants, it's nice to leave a tip but there is no need anywhere else. But nobody is going to stop you from tipping, so it's for you to decide if you want to or not.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Thanks for the info.

Slovenia is actually even cheper. You were in an expensive town.

Hey! I would like to visit Slovenia, can u make me any suggestions for cheaper alternatives?

[@talcarman7498]

@@emilytsp6689 Yeah so turistic places like Kranjska Gora, Bled, Bohinj and other are generally a bit more expensive. Ljubljana is by far the most expensive. The catch is that you can stay a few km away or on the outskirts and get super cheap prices. And dont come the first and second to last weekend of March as there are two sport events which drives the prices up. Hope it helped

[@slavkokrizman7127]

@Sith'ari Azithoth the prices might be comparable but in that town everything is much more expensive that other places

[@Tehgoat]

Slovenia, I love it A dinner like that across the coast in Italy could cost twice as much Croatia used to be inexpensive but in the last decade the restaurants have inflated their prices. Slovenia is bound to go the same way once the package deal holidays open the country up to tourism

[@potatoO0o]

Mass tourism will never happen in Slovenia. They're too small. They're going after boutiqe tourism as far as I know.

[@67claudius]

Not in southern Italy.

[@ntcrb]

The more touristy places, yes. Especially on the coast (where I live), Bled and Ljubljana. Slovenia is becomong more and more popular as a travel destination, but I've only really seen the touristy bars having higher prices.

Thanks.

[@reiben6924]

I've heard Americans referring to New York City as a town... I think "village" is quite an appropriate description for Piran to Americans - and it sounds more romantic, which Piran is. I find it quite amusing to see that Slovenians want to feel big though I am from Slovenia myself.

It doesn't matter how you call it. Piran got it's town privileges in the time of Venice republic in the middle ages, when population wasn't that big anywhere in Europe. New York was a tiny settlement then, not even a village.

Hello. I am from Slovenia and i can see that u likted it very much :D . But for us the prices that u have seen in Piran are prety big. If you would ask a slovenien citizien you could find a cheaper place to eat and have very very delicious homemade food. (not from the supermarket). We are very presize about that. That s why americans would liked that food because it has the flavour of nature and homemade.

[@gapipotok1876]

i live in slovenia so i recomend that when you look for the restaurant go for less tourist places where is food more homemade and less exspanive. if i go eat out i would give around 8 €. 6,6 would be for the food. and for the drink if you order juice they will ask you how much in deciliters.

[@shinnyspace]

justdie905 Village and town are different classification how they operate and what kind of buildings of importance they have... so you have villages with thousands of people and towns with only few inhabitants... It's not how many people or buildings it count, it's a classification matter... Piran is maybe small, but it has it all, and it's also the main municipality of that area, it has it's own coat of arms on car registrations which villages don't have... etc etc... villages also don't have main squares, city halls, mayors, cathedrals ...

As a slovene i'm quite shocked how a foreigner calls a town at the coast cheap although it's commonly known among us that beside Ljubljana (the capital) they are the most expensive. Go inlands if you want to have it cheaper but try to look for the places which are not so full of tourists (eg. Bled/Postojna). Nothing wrong with them but we have other beauties as well :)

[@xpetek121]

cheap ? wow , never thought of this , im slovenian btw

[@sLOVEnia21L]

the reason why every Slovenian thinks everything is expensive here in Slovenia is because our salaries are lower. you find more expensive stuff where the salaries are higher (thats why some products dont have the same price everywhere). so for someone that comes from a country where they have higher salaries (therefore more expensive products) our prices are quite low.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes, true.

[@nejcstepancic8125]

Plus, piran is a heavily tourism dependant town... That usually inreases the pricing of restaurants, cafés and accomodation astablishments such as hotels and hostels.

U actually choose a bit more expensive restaurants ( believe me search a little bit more not by the seaside u re gonna find pasta for 6 e sure ) 3. U may think that Slovenia is a expensive country ( okay u re right ) but u have to know how are the salaries here ( shitty, that s why i moved out :D ) 4. Nex time when u re in Slovenija and u wanna see how cheap it is , try going in villages and guesthouses there, cause u were in the tourismus district in Slovenia now ( word of advice : next time try Koper for example and ull see straight away what i mean and it is a coastal town aswell ) , but for the real experience try Štajerska region ( Ptuj and the soroundings or Prekmurje ( Murska Sobota )

Normally the price for a room at a hotel for 1 person or 2 person is the same, since most rooms are designed for two people. But it depends a lot. For example in this case it was a room with a single bed for just 1 person, so the double room for two people would have been a little more.
