Slovenia has around 10,000 caves in the country. Lonely Planet wrote about the third reason to visit Slovenia, well Slovenian caves: &#8220;<em>Slovenia\u2019s Karst region hides a treasure chest of secrets under its relatively unassuming surface. Whole rivers have been swallowed up by the porous limestone bedrock and once underground the water has carved out vast subterranean landscapes. Slovenia\u2019s most famous cavern, and a fantastic place to see these geological processes at work, is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/slovenia\/top-caves-in-slovenia\/\">Postojna Cave.<\/a><\/strong> The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/slovenia\/top-caves-in-slovenia\/\">enormous cave<\/a><\/strong> has been receiving tour groups since 1819 when the Emperor of Austria Ferdinand I came to visit, and it shows in the impressively slick operation. Each hour hundreds of visitors are whisked into the cave on a 3.7km-long underground railway. Inside there are vast caverns filled with elaborate stalagmites and stalactites, as well as more unusual rock formations, such as huge pillars, translucent curtains, and spaghetti-like strands hanging from the ceiling. Extra packages are available if you want to encounter strange pink cave salamanders or embark on a potholing adventure deeper into the cave. Whilst <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/slovenia\/top-caves-in-slovenia\/\">Postojna<\/a><\/strong> brings to mind a baroque cathedral dripping with elaborate mouldings, visiting nearby <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/slovenia\/top-caves-in-slovenia\/\">Unesco-listed \u0160kocjan Caves<\/a><\/strong> is like stepping into the pages of The Lord of the Rings.

The jewel in the crown is Piran, which is set on a narrow peninsula jutting out into the Adriatic.

For superb views over the town, wind your way up through the narrow streets behind the square to the Cathedral of St George and its San Marco Campanile-inspired bell tower. As the sun begins to set, head down to one of the restaurants or bars on the southern promenade to admire the round-towered church at the tip of the peninsula perfectly silhouetted against the fiery sky.
