When the former Yugoslavia disintegrated in 1991, Slovenia emerged relatively unscathed. After steadily building a capitalist system, Slovenia now boasts membership in the EU and NATO, and one of the strongest economies for a former Communist state. In other words, this is the place to be for accessing Europe’s emerging markets. Ljubljana’s hotels range from modern business centres to tiny bed-and-breakfasts to suit your needs. Slovenia’s small size means visitors can explore the entire country, from the Adriatic Sea to the Julian Alps, while returning each night to a Ljubljana hotel.
