Slovenia is party to the Schengen Agreement.
This means that EU and EEA (European Economic Area) citizens have the right to enjoy free movement within the Union.
A visa-exemption is also given to people who travel from the countries that are in the visa waiver program (for example US citizens).
This category of travellers can stay within the Schengen Area for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without a visa. Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond the period of stay.

The best outdoor activity season runs from June till October when all of the mountain huts and resting places (almost 200) are open for hikers.

The „Emerald” Soča is a remarkably beautiful river valley coming from the heart of the Triglav National Park and running down to the Italian Adriatic.

Undoubtedly one of Slovenia's most beautiful sights and perhaps one of Europe's most beautiful rivers, the impressive turquoise colour of the Soča caused by the limestone in the river.
