Cheap Family Vacations

Affordable Hiking, Biking, Beach, Ski, Cruise ...
and more Holidays in Slovenia

If you are looking for the perfect, cheap family vacations, you really should give Slovenia some serious thought. Not only is it an affordable destination, it also has so much to offer, to be kept busy and entertained for the duration of your stay.



Slovenia is only a small country but you will be amazed at its versatility as far as natural attractions go. One minute you will be admiring the view of the mountains with their peaks reaching into the skies of blue, the greenery and running streams and the next minute you could be taking a gentle evening stroll along the stunning coastline, feeling the Mediterranean breeze in your hair.

Family Activity Ideas in Slovenia

Of course, there are so many pastimes to get involved with in Slovenia due mainly to the fact that the country is made up of mountain terrain like the Julian, the Karavanke and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and this is what makes this kind of holiday extremely popular.

The whole family can go hiking on the less difficult tracks of the Triglav National Park where amazing waterfalls, alpine greenery and animal wildlife make the experience so much more enjoyable.

On the other hand, if you prefer to see what's out there more quickly, renting a mountain bike is always a good option. However, don't forget you will need to wear safety gear whilst biking. Those feeling a bit more adventurous can, if they wish, try their hand at mountain climbing - under experienced supervision, of course!

Culture and History

There are numerous castles and fortresses to see in Slovenia and these will be particularly enjoyed by the children in your party. Many of the castles hold medieval knight tournaments, great fun for all the family.

A particular knight tournament not to be missed if you are in the area during the month of August, is the one held at the Predjama Cave Castle. While you are there take a look at the Postojna Cave system where you can experience an underground railway trip. It´s such an adventure!

One of the great things about Slovenian museums is that kids under the age of 5 get in free so it doesn´t work out to be an expensive family day out.
