The Balkans are a fascinating region to explore in Europe due to its beauty as well as turbulent history. When we talk about the Balkans area, if you're a history buff like I am, it is hard to ignore the most recent conflict in the region, especially in ex-Yugoslavia countries, throughout the 1990s.

One of the most diverse regions in Europe, there was a price to pay for its diversity that ended with wars, bombings, and genocide.

You see, some normies out there might probably mistake Slovenia from Slovakia. So let's be clear here, now that we're covering Ljubljana, it is the capital city of Slovenia. NOT Slovakia.

If you asked me how to tell the difference between the two countries, let's go back to the 80s… Back then, Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia, while Slovakia was half of Czechoslovakia. This might be more interesting, as our contributor for this post is actually a Czech, Tereza from Czick On The Road.
