Slovenia is a country in Central Europe touching the Alps and bordering the Mediterranean. Slovenia borders Italy on the west, Croatia on the south and east, Hungary on the northeast, and Austria on the north, and also has a small portion of coastline along the Adriatic Sea.
Officially, Slovenia is subdivided into 211 municipalities (eleven of which have the status of urban municipalities).
The municipalities are the only body of local autonomy in Slovenia.
If you're traveling in Slovenia when a holiday occurs, be aware that public institutions and shops may be closed.
