Fun Facts About Slovenia
- Slovenia apparently has an obsession with beekeeping — about 1 in 200 of its citizens keep bees. That's one of the highest rates of any country in the world.
- Slovenians have a quirky custom of offering house slippers to guests. It makes them feel at home, plus it does keep the floors clean.
- Slovenians have a strong dragon fascination. A symbol of power and courage, you'll find this mythological creature prominently featured on the coat of arms and bridges in its capital city.
- Slovenia has one of the highest numbers of brown bears in Europe. There are around 1,000 roaming the forests. Alongside a surprising high number of tractors.
- The capital city Ljubljana means "beloved" in Slovenian, which suits its charming pedestrian-friendly atmosphere with its castle, bridges, and riverside cafes. Also, take a look at the spelling of the country's name: it actually contains the word "love"! (Yes, that's certainly just a coincidence, but a fun one at that.)
