Last updated on Jun 09, 2023
Summary: The pros of living in Slovenia include its stunning natural beauty, with mountains, forests, and lakes, as well as its vibrant culture and friendly people. The country also has a strong economy and a high quality of life. Additionally, Slovenia is a safe and secure country with a low crime rate. On the other hand, the cost of living in Slovenia can be quite high, and the country is relatively small, so there may be fewer job opportunities than in larger countries.
What are the pros and cons of living in Slovenia?
Expats, digital nomads and retirees living in Slovenia responded:
"Expats and digital nomads living in Slovenia appreciate the country's stunning natural beauty, with its mountains, lakes, and forests. They also enjoy the country's vibrant culture, with its many festivals, museums, and galleries. Additionally, they appreciate the low cost of living, with affordable housing and food. On the other hand, some expats and digital nomads may find the language barrier to be a challenge, as Slovenian is the official language. Additionally, the country's small size may make it difficult to find a wide variety of activities and entertainment," wrote one expat in Slovenia.
