Slovenia photo locations

Nestled between the Alps and the Adriatic, Slovenia is an incredible photography destination with a growing reputation, but it still has the feel of being a little known paradise with some hidden gems yet to be discovered.

From the majestic peaks of the Julian Alps and the spell-binding depths of some of the largest Karst cave systems, to sparkling emerald-green lakes and rivers and even a hint of a coastline along the Adriatic Sea. Besides an abundance of natural wonders, you can also find architectural treasures from Venetian harbour towns to charming hill-top churches. Small but perfect, Slovenia really does pack a punch in terms of photo ops.

Slovenia is easily accessible from neighbouring Austria, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, as it has good road and rail connections, plus daily flights from many European cities. Since it is a coastal country, you can also get to Slovenia by sea. Once there, car hire is easy and roads are clearly sign posted. Although some local roads are narrow and winding, a drive along them is always pleasant and varied with lots of opportunities to stop and get the camera out of the bag. For driving on motorways, it is mandatory for you to have a vignette.
