  Fifth place for Slovenia on prestigious world list

 

  February 2010

  As the year 2009 drew to a close, National Geographic Society´s Center for Sustainable Destinations and the magazine National Geographic Traveler compiled its sixth successive prestigious Destinations Rated list of the most beautiful locations and destinations in the world. The list for evaluation involved 133 world destinations, which were evaluated by 437 different experts from across the world.Slovenia was ranked a fantastic fifth place, which is shared with Vermont in the USA, Kakadu National Park in Australia and the medieval Alhambra in the Spanish city of Granada. All four destinations in 6th place received 78 points. First place was awarded this year to the Norwegian fjords, with 85 points.

  In the reasoning for the points given to Slovenia, which was represented pictorially by Bled, it was pointed out that Slovenia deserves praise for being “savvy about balancing tourism with preservation of cultural and natural heritage.” The capital city of Ljubljana merits special praise for being “colourful, vibrant, and culturally appealing.” Meanwhile the general view of Slovenia is that “Slovenia's Alps and wine country remain among the most sustainable and authentic places to visit in Europe.”

  Slovenia has one international airport; Airport Ljubljana- Brnik or Airport Jožeta Pučnika. All flights from abroad, end up on this airport. To the capitol Ljubljana,that lies geographicly in centre of Slovenia, is about 25 kilometers. Still the easyest way of getting from the airport, is to order a taxi. The cheapest are companies servicing shuttle and personal taxi transfer. Companies as Airtrail Slovenia or Legende will take you to downtown Ljubljana for as low as 20 eur.

  Both companies also offer sightseeing and transfer to famous tourist sites for a very reasonable price. One day tour to very popular lake Bled will cost you as low as 80 eur.
