Family holidays: the best ideas for unforgettable experiences

In nature, by the water, in cities, discovering the world of animals or in search of thrilling adventures. What does your ideal family holiday look like?

Why choose Slovenia for a family holiday?

Slovenia is small and safe enough to make travelling with children easy. Yet it offers enough variety to make every day a new adventure. One day you can be in the mountains, the next by a lake, in a thermal pool or exploring a mysterious underground world. Nature, cities, animals, water, adventures and local stories come together to create a holiday that can be tailored to your children’s ages and your family’s pace.

Discover the secrets of nature parks and embark on woodland adventures. After an active day, unwind in the idyllic countryside at a tourist farm, where you can sample delicious local specialities.

Get up close and personal with the animal world.

When the snow arrives, the fun begins for the whole family. Alongside snowball fights, building snowmen and igloos, you can enjoy a variety of winter activities on skis or sledges. Many ski resorts offer equipment hire and ski schools where children can learn their first turns on the slopes. And of course, few things are more magical than a walk through a snow-covered landscape. After an active day outdoors, unwind in an indoor thermal water park and soothe tired muscles with a little well-deserved relaxation.
