Location Of Slovenia
Mountains, rivers and major north–south and east–west transit routes dominate this compact and strategically important country. Slovenia borders Italy to the west, Austria to the north, Hungary to the northeast and Croatia to the southeast, with a 30-mile Adriatic Sea coastline, where the main port is Koper.

Airports
Ljubljana airport is 16 miles northwest of the city. Buses are available to Kranj, about 15 minutes aay, and to Ljubljana, about 45 minutes away. Taxis are also available and take about 20 minutes. Maribor and Portoroz also have some international connections.

Language
Slovene, which is closely related to Croat and Czech. Most Slovenes speak German, Hungarian or Italian, with English as a second language.

Places To Go
One of the smallest countries in Europe, Slovenia lies in an enviable geographical position between the majestic Alps and the Mediterranean. Visitors can thus travel between ski slopes and beach resorts within a matter of hours.

There is a wide selection of theatres, cinemas, casinos and nightclubs in the larger towns. Ljubljana also has a good opera house and the symphony orchestra plays regularly in the Big Hall of the Cultural and Congress Centre.
