Slovenia: Jet to Let Guide to Slovenia

The story so far…

From the 14th century, most of Slovenia formed part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and, following its collapse in 1918, the Slovenes joined the Croats and Serbs to form a new state which became Yugoslavia in 1929. Occupied by German, Italian and Hungarian armies during the Second World War, Yugoslavia was liberated by the Soviets, who established the Communist Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia (FPRY). This comprised the present-day independent states of Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Present-day Slovenia gained independence from the FPRY in 1991. Slovenia joined the European Union (EU) in May 2004.

Where is it?

Slovenia is in South-Eastern Europe with 46.6km of coastline to the Adriatic Sea in the south-west. Slovenia borders Austria to the north, Hungary to the north-west, Croatia to the south and east and Italy to the west. The country’s total area is 20,273km squared.

What is the weather like?

Slovenia’s climate varies across the country. The north-west has an Alpine climate with lots of rain, moderate summers and cold winters. The Adriatic coast has a pleasant sub-Mediterranean climate with warm weather throughout the year and mild winters, while inland and the eastern parts of Slovenia have a typical Eastern European climate, with hot summers and cold winters. Slovenia gets most of its rain in the spring and autumn.

Language

Slovenia has an estimated population of just over two million people, consisting of ethnic Slovenes (83.1 per cent). The ethnic minorities are mainly ex-Yugoslav nationals, such as Serbs, Croats, Bosnians and ethnic Italians and Hungarians. The official languages are Slovenian, Italian and Hungarian.
