About Slovenia and Bled

Slovenia is one of the smallest and also one of the youngest European countries. It entered the European Union in May 2004 and was the first among the ten new member states, who joined the Union in 2004, to introduce the Euro as the official currency, in January 2007. Slovenia is situated on the crossroads of four European landscape units – the Alps, the Pannonian Plain, the Dinaric Mountains and the Mediterranean. The country’s unforgettable and unique features are created through the intertwinement of these landscapes. Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia.
