Current Travel Situation
Romania to Slovenia: What You Need to Know
Romania and Slovenia are both EU and Schengen members. Slovenia uses the Euro. Despite being a small country, Slovenia offers remarkable diversity: Alpine peaks (Triglav National Park), the stunning Lake Bled, the karst Skocjan Caves (UNESCO), the Adriatic coast (Piran), and a charming capital in Ljubljana. Direct flights from Bucharest to Ljubljana are limited but connections via Vienna are easy.
How to Get There
Slovenia connects naturally with Croatia (Dubrovnik, Split), Austria (Vienna, Graz), and Italy (Venice, Trieste). Ljubljana to Venice by bus is about 3.5 hours. The Julian Alps cross into Austria and Italy, making multi-country mountain touring easy.
Money & Banking
Slovenia uses the Euro (EUR). Romania uses the Romanian Leu (RON). Exchange or use cards. Slovenia is moderately priced, generally cheaper than Austria or Italy but comparable to other EU capitals.
Practical Tips
Lake Bled (iconic island church, castle, and mountains) is one of Europe's most photographed spots. Ljubljana is a fairy-tale capital with a pedestrianized old town and castle. Triglav National Park offers some of the Alps's most beautiful hiking. The Skocjan Caves (UNESCO) and Postojna Cave are spectacular underground systems. The Soca Valley (emerald-green river) is stunning for outdoor activities. Piran on the Adriatic is a perfectly preserved Venetian-era town.
