It is not so easy for a Russian to imagine a state whose area is not even equal to the entire Moscow region, but only to its half. Just decorate it with chains of the Alps, add the clear Adriatic Sea and no less transparent lakes, equip thermal baths and leave the same dense forests. Here is a portrait of Slovenia. Practical Germans, expansive Italians, and other peoples of Europe have already chosen their places in the spa centers of this country, in local resorts. And they spend much less money on this pleasure than in their homeland.
However, Slovenia enjoys great success in the Russian tourist market as well. The reasons for such a great popularity are obvious: Slovenian thermal spas at any time of the year have everything that is necessary to fight a variety of diseases: mineral waters, large medical centers equipped with modern equipment, which employs competent doctors. Slovenia is famous for its expertise in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Here you can often find Russian-speaking staff, and this ensures the convenience of the treatment process.

About roads
Slovenia has two main, perpendicular to each other, highways. The first, Slovenica, runs from the border with Austria and Hungary in the northeast to the border with Italy in the southwest. The second, Illyrica, leads from the Austrian border in the northwest to the Croatian border in the southeast. As you might expect, traffic on both routes is very intense. These autobahns are paid. At the same time, the network of auxiliary roads is so well developed that it is possible to drive along a free path. True, this can take much longer. But if you're in no rush, this is a great way to get to know Slovenia. By the way, signs on the roads are quite common here, therefore, getting around in a rented car will not be difficult.
Parking lots in the cities of the country are marked with a blue line. They are usually paid. Coupons for them are purchased either at service stations or at kiosks. They are attached to the windshield. They are pre-marked with the parking time and the day of the week. By the way, side lights in Slovenia must be turned on at any time of the day.
On the main highways of Slovenia, the traffic police strictly follow the order.
