Slovenian SIM cards

Even though Slovenia is a relatively small country, it is so very pretty that chances are you will want to stay as long as possible! And being the hiking mecca that it is, it is very handy to have a phone with a working SIM card. That’s why I have done the research for you in this case and have chosen the best prepaid plan for your trip!

NOTE: Bear in mind that if you’re from a European country, you’re very likely to have the same roaming charges in Slovenia as in your home country so there won’t be a need to buy a SIM card; do however check with your phone provider!

Because you will likely be travelling around Slovenia and not just Ljubljana, I have chosen a network that covers most of the country the A1 network, which has a good value prepaid plan and the widest working network. For around 10€, you can get a 14GB prepaid card that will last you a month!

You can buy the A1 prepaid card at their store in Ljubljana’s city center because unfortunately, there are no stores at the airport!

When to visit Ljubljana

And here is where we reach our dilemma- should we choose the high season with good weather and a greater number of tourists, or the low season, with bad weather, cheaper prices and fewer travelers?

Well, my friends, this is really up to you. I am more of a low season and less people kind of girl. But in high season, which is from June to August, Ljubljana is not as crowded as other European destinations such as Paris or Barcelona. Visiting in winter is also pretty awesome, as it means that you’ll be able to ski, which is actually really good fun! And Slovenia is a great skiing destination!

So, if you do love skiing and don’t mind some coffee breaks to warm you up while in the city, make sure you head there during the winter months. On the other hand, if you are not interested in skiing and you’d like to hike and enjoy the city in warmer temperatures, head to Ljubljana during the summer months!
