  • Watch the full episode: • The Best of Slovenia Being the midpoint between the Slavic, Germanic, and Italian worlds gives Ljubljana a special spice. This tiny town has only about a quarter-million people, but it's by far the country's largest city, cultural capital, and a charming place to kick off any Slovenian trip.

    Slovenia is one of the highlights of a European tour. Despite some similarities, I was still amazed at how different they were, even from their closest neighbors, like Austria and Croatia. I respect the way Slovenes have maintained their identity with their distinct language and culture even after centuries of being absorbed into other empires and political systems.

    because the old city center is "pedestrian only" zone. And that is the best change that happened in the last years, it is so nice for drinking coffee and chating without cars roaring by :)

    I am fully half Slovenian but from Cleveland, Ohio USA. I now live in Paris, France. I hope to visit. Maybe alone -- my French spouse is not all that interested. My mother went to Slovenia with her Slovenian-born father in 1980 and they had a good time. I hope to find some of my relatives in Slovenia. Uprated.

    I visited Slovenia once - 14 years ago. It's stuck with me. Still one of my favorite places I've visited.
    I did use Rick's book when I was there, and it was great overall. However, Plečnik's house was probably the most skippable thing I did. I felt my time could have been spent better elsewhere.

    As much as I personally like R. Steves, I went to Cinque Terra on his advice in April back in 2009 and found it kind of desolate, obviously waiting for hordes to arrive, and the visitors that were there were a breed of Americans who were about as interested in the place as they would have been waiting for a bus in the US. I remember waking past dozens of stone-faced Americans on the cliff paths, not single hello or smile-most of them I suspect there because of RS. Steves touted the place for its "authenticity" ... I didn't quite get it. It's a physically gorgeous place with obvious economic problems, and set up almost exclusively for tourism. Strange conundrum. I felt that The Lonely Planet guide I used in Siena was more practical and reality based.

    More expensive than in the rest of the country, but still cheaper than in the western cities. 50m2 apartment is around 500E/month, house in the city is usually around 700-2000E/month.

    • @Butmunch666
      @Butmunch666 10 лет назад +4

      Well the nightlife can be pretty good, allthough not everyday , you have to know that it's a relatively small country and even in Ljubljana the biggest city, most parties happen on the weekend and during the week the city is relatively quiet, at least as far as parties are concerned.

    • @Butmunch666
      @Butmunch666 10 лет назад +1

      I understood most of it but do you want to know if there is a school to learn slovenian? or to teach your language?
      I mean there are a few private schools that specialize in languages in slovenia.

    • @bumble2able
      @bumble2able 10 лет назад

      To teach English. :) it will be in a few years after I have taught in Korea but I would love to settle down and have a familly etc one day and I like Slovenia :) Maybe at the Universities. I teach Business English.

    • @Butmunch666
      @Butmunch666 10 лет назад

      bumble2able Sure there are many schools where you could apply for a job and then settle down. Just do a little google search. The main universities in Slovenia are University of Ljubljana/Maribor/Koper then each university has many different faculties.. They have websites and everything. You can find all the information online.

    This may be off topic, but why are Slovenians the least Slavic of all Slavs? They rarely drink, they don't party that much, they rarely wear Addidas track suits, etc. Why are they not living a very Slavic lifestyle?

    • @3333sweetie
      @3333sweetie 6 лет назад

      It's sad but true. Western men(not all but a lot) often are so entitled that they use equality as a way to make women provide for them. They blame women for being the cause of all their problems They don't act like men anymore. I hope most Slovenian and Slavic men generally are not as weak as Western men are.

    • @JustMe-uc8wj
      @JustMe-uc8wj 3 года назад +1

      Slovenians drink a lot,statistically we are very high on the list of consumption per capita,but we usually don't get crazy and violent.The other thing is centuries of living in german state(s) and lack of arable land made us disciplined,modest and hardworking.And of course except for the 73 years of Yugoslavia(s),we were part of Central European cultural space all of our known history...
