Nothing is more than two hours from anything else.\r\nIs Slovenia expensive? | Cheaper than Austria and Italy next door. Dorms from \u20ac18, a traditional lunch at \u20ac10 to \u20ac14, a beer at \u20ac3 to \u20ac4. Bled in summer is the one place prices climb noticeably.\r\nBled or Bohinj? | Bled for the famous view, early in the day. Bohinj for swimming, hiking and space \u2014 it is a bigger lake with a fraction of the visitors, free to swim in, and half an hour further on the same bus.\r\nDo I need a car in Slovenia? | No, buses reach everywhere including Bled, Bovec and Piran. A car helps for the So\u010da valley and the Vr\u0161i\u010d pass, and if you drive you must buy a motorway e-vignette online first.\r\nWhen is the best time to visit? | June and September. The lakes are swimmable, the So\u010da is running, mountain huts are open and prices are lower than July and August. Winter is ski season, and Ljubljana in December is genuinely lovely.\r\nCan I climb Triglav? | It is the national mountain and a rite of passage for Slovenes, but it needs via ferrata equipment, a head for exposure and ideally a guide. It is not a walk-up, and people get into difficulty on it every summer.\r\nWhich cave should I visit? | \u0160kocjan if you only do one \u2014 a UNESCO site with a vast underground canyon and fewer visitors. Postojna is bigger, has a train through it, and is much busier.
