Slovenia is located in southeastern Europe bordered by Italy, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and 46 kilometres along the Adriatic Sea. This small country has a population of about 2 million people. The government is a parliamentary republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government.
The area of Slovenia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the end of World War I. In 1918, the Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs formed a new country, which, in 1929, was named Yugoslavia. Over the year, the Slovenes were not content with resource allocation to other parts of Yugoslavia and power of the Serbs who were the majority. In 1990, the Slovenes overwhelmingly supported a referendum for independence. In 1991, Slovenia declared independence. The country has become a full member of the European Union and a member of NATO.
Slovenia has much to offer travellers. Ljubljana, the capital city, boasts interesting architecture. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as hiking and exploring the Triglav National Park, the Škocjan Caves (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Julian Alps and the Kamnik Alps, Adriatic coast, as well as medieval towns and castles.

Be sure to keep a copy of your passport with you at all times for identification. Foreigners are required to register with the police within 3 days of arriving or risk being fined. Usually, your hotel or other accommodation will handle this for you as part of checking in. If you are not staying in a registered accommodation, you will need to visit a police station to register as a visitor in Slovenia.
