Vrsic
Vrsic is mountain pass in Julian Alps in Slovenia. During winter months is closed because of snow but in other seasons it is one of the most scenic routes in Slovenia. Vrsic is on the way from Kranjska gora to Bovec. On this way u can see a lot of interesting things like lake Jasna, Vrsic pass with Julian Alps around, river Soca with its spring, troughs, suspension bridges ... Around the mountain pass Vrsic there are three mountain huts so you can stop, eat or dring something or even sleep.

Brezice
Brezice is old town near Croatia border. The most interesting sight in the city is Castle Brezice. Inside the castle is museum called Posavski museum where you can see a lot of differenct collections from different periods of Brezice history. You will be amazed with Knights' Hall that really looks great will all those paintings on the walls and ceiling. I suggest you to walk around old town centre where you will see some nice buildings. I am sure you will not miss Aqueduct tower where you have to come in and drink something.

Piran
Piran is for sure one of the most beautiful cities in Slovenia. It is old mediterranean town located near Adriatic Sea. In Piran you can see some nice old squares like 1st May Square, Tartini Square and Brotherhood Square. All of them are surrounded with nice old buildings. It is nice to sit down at some restourant on Preseren Quay and breath fresh sea air. St. George Church is located on small hill above the city so it would be hard to miss it. From there is nice view in Strunjan direction. I suggest you also to climb on town walls where is good view on the city and around.

Ljubljana
Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia. It is probably the most visited tourist spot in Slovenia. If we compare Ljubljana with other capital cities in Europe we can say that Ljubljana is very small. But being small is advantage in this case. Ljubljana has its own special charm especially if you walk in the old town centre that is situated along river Ljubljanica. There is really nice to sit down, watching around people passing by and of course also nice old buildings. If you like to hike a little you can climb on the hill where is Ljubljana Castle. If you are lazy you can use funicular railway. If you like to escape from the city centre you can walk to the Park Tivoli. If you like to go shopping you have to visit BTC City where are hundreds of shops, cinema, water park ...
