Where to stay in Slovenia

The tourist tax

• A nightly tourist tax applies per person, set by the municipality, and is usually charged separately from the room rate.
• Ljubljana and Bled charge at the top of the range.
• Ask whether it is included when booking so the checkout bill is not a surprise.

Where to stay

• Ljubljana is very small - the old town is walkable end to end in twenty minutes - and it fills in summer.
• Bled is beautiful and busy. Bohinj, half an hour further, is quieter, cheaper and arguably better.
• Tourist farms (turisticne kmetije) are a genuine category and are excellent value, often with meals included.
• The coast is short - about 47 km of it - so Piran books out entirely in season.

Practicalities

• You will be asked for your passport at check-in.
• Air conditioning is not universal in older buildings and Slovenian summers are hot.
