Tips on Slovenia Warnings and Dangers - Stay Safe!

Slovenia is a cosmopolitan nation in the center of Europe, home to both beautiful beaches and stunning mountains in a nation the size of New Hampshire. It has a well-deserved reputation as a sane and safe place. However, there are still things to know in order to ensure a pleasant trip free of snags.

In any new place, it is important to follow and read carefully, but especially in Slovenia. Slovenia is mountainous, which means that the roads are often narrow and winding. If there is a sign that says no cycling on a particular road, be assured that they mean it. Hefty fines and serious traffic risks await those who ignore the signs. Likewise, drivers should take great caution to avoid an accident. Be advised also that many of the rental cars here are diesel. Make sure to clarify at the rental business to avoid an embarrassing and expensive mistake.

Motor bikes notoriously drive fast and dangerous in this area. It is recommended that inexperienced tourists do not rent motorbikes and also that tourists in rental cars take extra precautions to check their blind spots and look out for fast moving motorbike traffic.

Make sure to bring plenty of Euros, especially when traveling from Canada. Some Canadian travelers report that their ATM cards are useless here. There is a main bank in town, but as any traveler knows, it can be a hassle to make such trips when you just want to enjoy your vacation.
