Known as welcoming, Slovenia is the ideal destination when traveling alone.
Bordering Hungary, Italy, Austria and Croatia, this small but mighty country is relatively simple to explore, thanks to its efficient transportation system. The fact that there's also plenty to see and do – and most people speak English – means this place should be on any solo adventurer's must-visit list.
This six-day guided adventure in Slovenia, scheduled to depart in October 2024, provides an excellent introduction to Central and South-Eastern Europe. The trip begins and ends in Ljubljana, Slovenia's cobblestone capital, and includes visits to Triglav National Park, Lake Bled (pictured), and the UNESCO-listed Skocjan Caves.
You will also enjoy a wine tasting in the Vipava Valley and an afternoon learning the art of truffle hunting.
