Slovène

spirit of Europe

PDF

Scenery, culture, cuisine - Slovène brings together the best of central Europe. It emerged as a nation from the ruins of former Yugoslavia, and really feels like miniature-Europe: Austrian in the north, Hungarian in the east, Croatian in the south, Italian in the west. Slovène offers more than a tourist could hope to see on a tour of Europe - the glaciers of the Julian Alps, vineyards in the east, the capital with a distinct Austro-Hungarian flair and the little towns of the Adriatic coast.
