Cheap Holidays to Slovenia

Enjoy lush forests and mountainous landscapes with a cheap holiday to Slovenia

In just over two hours, you can fly from the UK to Slovenia and begin your holiday.

With an abundance of sprawling forests and pine-clad mountains, there’s a reason why Slovenia is known as one of the greenest countries in the world. The popular alpine resort of Kranjska Gora is a paradise for nature-lovers, offering plenty of opportunities to bike and hike in the surrounding countryside without splashing the cash. The resort is located near the Triglav National Park, where you’ll also find Slovenia’s largest lake, Lake Bohinj, in Bohinjsko. Just 30 minutes down the road from Bohinjsko is the resort of Bled, which has become a tourism hotspot in recent years thanks to its magnificent glacial lake and inexpensive hotels dotted around the shores.

If you’re keen to save money, flights are generally at their cheapest during spring and autumn when there are less crowds.

Cheap days out in Slovenia

Affordable days out in Slovenia are centred around the country’s best asset – its natural landscapes. Whether you’re walking around a mirror-like lake, strapping on a pair of skis or mountain biking through forests, there are plenty of outdoor pursuits on offer year-round that won’t cost the earth. And the best part is that most hotels and resort centres offer cheap or even free bike and ski rental facilities, making these activities even more accessible.

Holidays in Kranjska Gora can be spent hiking or cycling the trail paths through flower-filled fields, peaceful forests and the unspoilt Julian Alps. Day trips to Lake Bohinj are also popular, where you can take part in a variety of affordable watersports or go for a leisurely stroll around the picturesque shoreline. In Lake Bled, cheap activities include hiring a rowing boat to the central island to see the pretty church, visiting the medieval Bled Castle with its panoramic views or exploring the nearby Vintgar Gorge.

Other cheap holidays to take a look at

Slovenia is by no means your only option when it comes to booking a cheap holiday. If you’re keen on visiting Europe, take a look at other destinations like Greece, with its reasonably-priced resorts and sun-kissed coastlines. Or if you want to go somewhere more exotic without spending a small fortune, destinations like Morocco and Spain can also be done on a budget.
