If you are a non-EU citizen, you must register with Slovenian police within 72 hours of arrival. If you’re staying in a hotel or using a tour group, they should register you.

You must have official identification on your person at all times in Slovenia. Be sure to keep your passport in a secure location while out in public areas.

Most of the country experiences warm summers and cold winters.

The summer months see temperatures averaging in the 70’s. But, July and August can reach the mid-80’s. Thunderstorms are common in summer months, especially in the mountain regions.

Winters are cold and more humid. Temperatures hover in the 30’s with dense fog in the mountains.

Slovenia has experienced infrequent terrorist strikes, protests, and public demonstrations. Take precautions while in public and avoid demonstrations when they occur. Stay vigilant in large crowds as small demonstrations can escalate quickly.

The country’s crime rate is low. Purse snatching and pick-pocketing are the most common crimes in tourist areas. Vehicle break-ins and theft do occur. Always lock the doors and park on well-lit streets or in garages when you can.

When drinking or attending nightclubs, keep your wits about you at all times and use common sense. Do not accept open drinks from people you don’t know and don’t leave your drinks unattended for any amount of time.

Documentation of human habitation in Slovenia dates back more than 250,000 years. This country has many opportunities to immerse yourself in history. One of the most popular places to do this is at Slovenia’s Ljubljana Old Town.

Located on the bank of the Ljubljanica River, this town is a must-visit. It offers a mix of impressive architecture and lovely restaurants, bars and cafes.

Grab a bite to eat in this town while enjoying incredible views of the Castle Hill or Preseren Square.

Below, you will find a detailed list of essentials you’ll want to take with you on your trip to Slovenia:

  • Secure Bag – You are required to carry official identification at all times. You’ll need a safe way to carry that around. You must have a receipt for everything you buy in Slovenia. Official inspectors may request proof of sale at any time.
  • Credit Cards and Cash – Have credit cards and cash to pay for items or services. Traveler’s checks are not accepted in most locations.
  • Layers of Clothing – Temperature varies throughout the day. While you may be comfortable in a t-shirt during the day, you may want longer pants and a jacket once the sun goes down. Be prepared so you’re never too warm or too cold.

All Americans visiting Slovenia should register online with the U.S. Department of State before departure. This will inform the office of your travel plans within the country and will allow them to reach out in the case of an emergency or evacuation.

Once in Slovenia, the information for the U.S. Embassy is:

Customer Reviews

Passport Health – Travel Vaccines for Slovenia

Overall rating: 4.5 stars – 2 reviews
★★★★
“Very Detailed“
“The visit was way more in depth than i expected. I was given a packet full of information which we reviewed together. I really appreciated that. However, I did feel at some points that the Dr gave me generic information on Slovenia. It seemed like she was particularly knowledgeable on that country so I was confused by the information she gave me that conflicted with my research and what my school told me to expect.”

“Great Experience – Very Helpful“
“The nurse was extremely nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. She walked me through the vaccinations options for my trip to Slovenia and helped me understand what my options were. The appointment was completed in an hour and I was provided with clear directions on how to take the medicine, etc. Overall it was a great experience. Thanks!”
