When my husband and I went to Zagreb, Croatia, we decided to take a day trip to Slovenia\u00a0to see some of the highlights of the country. Slovenia is so tiny (about the size of New Jersey!) that we were actually able to see quite a bit in just a day! We hired a tour guide<\/a>\u00a0from Zagreb and took off early one morning. We were incredibly impressed by the small country, which is full of beauty and culture. Here are the highlights of our experience:<\/p>\n

Ljubljana<\/strong>: Slovenia\u2019s capital is an incredibly beautiful city, with a blend of art nouveau and neoclassical architecture. A river runs through city, dividing the financial\/business district and the old town. The charming old town is the place to visit, with churches, cafes, and cultural sites throughout the area. Wander the streets, visit a caf\u00e9, and admire the architecture. The symbol of the city is a dragon, which you will see throughout the city, representing strength and courage.<\/p>\n
