Basic information on Slovenia
Slovenia is a central European country. Its location is right next to Austria, Hungary, Italy and Croatia. Even though it is a small country, it offers good options for life due to favorable climate and geographical position. Within the small area, it has mountains in one part and seaside in the other. It also has lots of plains where you can engage in agriculture and winegrowing. Slovenia became part of the EU in 2004 and entered the Schengen zone in 2007. Like many EU countries, it uses EURO as the currency. The majority of the population speaks additional foreign languages, especially English is very widespread.
Why is Slovenia considered one of the best countries to live in?
Locals and foreigners are in awe about life in Slovenia mainly due to its natural characteristics. In a very small place, the country offers natural beauty of the Julian Alps, with the popular Lake Bled in the center. Here, tourism is present not only in the winter, but all year around. In the South Western part of Slovenia, you can find the coast with entrance to the Adriatic Sea. The Eastern regions have flatlands which are terrific for farming and winegrowing, but it is also an area which offers peaceful life for those who want to steer clear of the bustle of the city life.
Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and located right in the center of the country. Many foreigners choose this city for their life in Slovenia due to the fact that even though it is the largest town in Slovenia, it still only has less than 300.000 inhabitants and is therefore a peaceful place to live. In Ljubljana, tourism has developed over the last 15 years and it also became the business center of the country, with all appropriate infrastructure.
Slovenia also strives for the green initiative and is hence a very clean country with high sustainability goals. It is the 3rd most forested country in Europe where people resort to less polluted options for transport, mainly bikes and public transport. All these advantages do not only make life in Slovenia pleasant but also offer great possibilities for developing business.
