Another thumbs up for a beautiful country. As suggested before,Lake Bled is stunning and a bit further on is Lake Bohinj, which is less touristy but more nature based.
Slovenia is very lovely. By Lake Bled there’s a funny little farm where you can eat cheese and look at a black room. And there’s a wonderful homemade pasta restaurant by the sea in beautiful Piran.
My fiance is Slovenian and she took me there in summer to show me around. It is ridiculously picturesque, friendly and chill. Ljubljana is mostly pedestrianised and I fell in love with it. You’re gonna have a great time 😊
My son loved it so much when he passed through interrailing, he went back for a Slovenia-only trip this year. He wanted (among other things) to see the tallest chimney in Europe ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trbovlje_Power_Station
Ljubljana? The castle is lovely and a nice walk up! If you're free to travel a bit then Lake Bled is a tourist trap but that's because it's obnoxiously beautiful. Caves wise I'd recommend Škocjan. And if you just want to escape work and relax then they have nice spas!
Alas I have no real recollection of the food in Slovenia besides a very specific cheese made by a farmer local to the house I stayed in. I think otherwise it was a sort of strange mix of Italian and Austrian cuisine and perfectly fine but nothing to write home about.
So, if I may... Ljub is really nice. Walk up to the castle for best views. I guess this isn't the weather for lakes and mountains but a trip to Bled might still be nice if it's not pouring with rain (eg boat trip to island). Postojna cave is obvious day trip in bad weather.
ooh I do like a cave! I'll be with my publisher so I figure they'll show me nice places. But I might come back in better weather because I love swimming in lakes and love walking in mountains. Shall recce while I'm here!
Beautiful country ⛰️. Impatient lorry drivers when you’re grappling with left hand drive car and road trying to convert speed limit whilst listening to Sat nav! 😱
Was v good! And friendly! Plus showing 00s mtv channel which was hilarious. The plots to those videos are WILD. Tired of Being Sorry by Enrique Inglesias involves him apparently being assumed into heaven after cheating on his girlfriend on a sex swing (wasn't watching closely busy with pizza)

Winter too if brave enough!
I wonder if they have snow...
For a day trip, there is Bled. Or you could visit the caves in Postojna. I also really liked the little coastal town of Piran.
