Slovenia may be the best-kept secret in Europe. Just half the size of Switzerland, the country is often treated as fly-over—or drive-through—territory by travelers heading to better-known places in Croatia or Italy.

That's good news for anyone choosing Slovenia as a destination, either in its own right or as a highlight during a visit to the region.
