SLOVENIAN SPECIAL VENUES TO IMPRESS IN 2022
Gorazd, can you recommend a cool event location? It should be out of the ordinary and unknown to the competition. It should be authentic, offering world-class cuisine and a photogenic spot for taking photos. Oh, and we would like to drive to the venue by car.
Such questions prompted us to start collecting data about the best regional special venues years ago. Up to now, we have gathered and edited more than 700 special venues from 18 countries. You can search our selection of venues with the help of our search engine – FIND SPECIAL VENUES.
