The pandemic situation in Slovenia is under control and we are following it closely. We can change the itinerary at the last minute if necessary.
On 14 May, just over two months after recording its first case Covid-19, Slovenia declared that the pandemic was under control within its territory. According to the government, this means that the borders will be reopened, non-essential services will be resumed and citizens will be able to leave social isolation.
Slovenia currently has the best clinical situation in Europe, allowing us to bring the pandemic to an end,” said Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa.
With the desire to travel in summer, Slovenia is the perfect country for a holiday without crowds and in nature. In addition, the epidemic has long been under control, with no new cases of Covid-19 for weeks, so Slovenia is Europe’s first ‘Coronafree’ country. As a result, everyday life, shops, hotels and restaurants have already returned to normal, while complying with hygiene regulations.
