CLIMATE

www.eu-jamrai.eu

Slovenia, although a small country – half the size of Switzerland, has three distinct climate

types: continental, Alpine and sub-Mediterranean. A good part of the country, including

Ljubljana, is characterized by a typical European continental climate with warm, dry summers

and fairly cold winters, while the coastal areas and the lowlands in the south have a milder

climate. The chart below illustrates the mean annual temperature in Ljubljana. (Source

www.weather.com).

On average, the warmest month is July, and the coolest month is January. The most

precipitation on average occurs in June.

LJUBLJANA AT A GLANCE

Ljubljana is a city tailored to people, cosmopolitan for work, yet green and pleasant for

relaxation. It's a city like many charming European capitals, yet like none other. It is woven

with picturesque and pleasant corners where you can experience numerous small surprises –

whether you have lived here your whole life or are stepping into the city for the first time.

Through the eyes of residents and visitors alike, you can discover it anew every month and

become part of the community that appreciates this wonderful city.

And how do we nickname Ljubljana?

By changing just one letter in our city’s name, you get the word “Ljubljena”, meaning “The

Beloved”. It’s only right that the capital of the only country in the world holding LOVE in its

name has a romantic twist...

Top 10 best sights for everyone in Ljubljana. With maps and descriptions

SLOVENIA’S GREEN EMBRACE

Halfway between London and Istanbul; a good two-hour drive from Venice; or a short trip

from the metropolises of Vienna and Prague – geographically, historically, and culturally,

Slovenia has for long been a blend of diverse features. In a relatively small area of 20,273

square kilometres one can find the best of a whole continent: mountains and lakes, the

www.eu-jamrai.eu

Adriatic Sea, rolling hills and vineyards, ancient castles, and charming cities with a more

dynamic urban beat, with pristine countryside flourishing around them.

As a country that historically developed at the crossroads, Slovenia has absorbed influences

from the neighbouring territories that have left their distinctive traces – the result being a

stunning variety of professions, lifestyles, traditions and culture shared by its 2,100,000

residents.

With 60% of its surface area covered by woods, it’s the third most forested country in Europe,

while more than two thirds of its territory have for twenty years been placed under the

protection of the Natura 2000 Network, making it the leading country on the continent.

Whether in the city or in the countryside, wherever you turn, you will find an abundance of

green topped by a striking biodiversity. For centuries, the people living here have been in

harmony with nature and still making their best to preserve the country green for future

generations. Efforts aimed at sustainable development and environmental preservation have

been systematically integrated through education and certification in the tourism & travel

sector, thus reinforcing the country’s international image as a rising star among green

destinations.

Some interesting facts?

 Slovenia consistently ranks among the top 10 countries in the Global Peace Index and

is in 2022 positioned as the 6th safest country in Europe and 7th in the world.

 Slovenia is also one of the most environmentally friendly countries in the world.

According to the Good Country Index, Slovenia ranks fourth among 169 countries in

terms of its positive contribution to the planet and the climate.

 Slovenia is in the world’s top for the number of published books per million residents,

only exceeded by Great Britain. Poetry is a cherished literary genre. In terms of musical

tradition, Ljubljana boasts having the second oldest Philarmonic society in Europe,

whose predecessor was established in 1701.

 Slovenia is also in the world’s top according to general participation in sport, which

amounts to 64% of the population, and ranks alongside Scandinavian countries. It also

features very high in the statistics of Olympic medallists per number of country

residents. Not only the oldest wooden wheel with an axle and the oldest known

instrument, a Neanderthal flute, in the world were discovered in Slovenia, as it is also

home to the oldest skis found in Central Europe.

www.eu-jamrai.eu

 Slovenia is a country with above-average biodiversity and is an absolute champion in

terms of the number of animal and plant species per square kilometre. Its area

accounts for 0.004% of the Earth's total area and 0.014% of the Earth's land area.

Nonetheless, it is home to 1% of all known species and more than 2% of all terrestrial

species. Slovenia is home to over 3,100 native plant species and 18 registered native

animal species. It also has a native honeybee species, the Carniolan honeybee, while

the Lipizzan white horse breed was established in Lipica in the Slovenian Karst region

in 1580.

It is no cliché but pure truth that there are only a few countries in the world where one can hit

the ski slopes of the Alps in the morning and then drive off to take a dip in the sea in the

afternoon.

This, and much more, can absolutely be done in Slovenia. All in the same day. Enjoy your

discovery!
