Top 5 Filming Locations in Slovenia
Ljubljana
Like many places in Europe, capital cities are the place to go for filming and Ljubljana fits the bill. Ljubljana features fascinating historic architecture across a small geographic area; Austrian-Hungarian styled architecture, castles, cathedrals, cobblestone streets, a town hall, and more. Logistically speaking, Ljubljana is situated most centrally in the country and serves as an ideal location due to its natural proximity to the coast and mountains. Driving to these locations takes two hours or less.
Julian Alps
A mere two hour drive from the capital, the Julian Alps is a beautiful location for filming due to the alp’s pristine and untouched natural landscapes. Its jaw-dropping scenery puts the location on the map for cinematographers looking to capture its majestic appeal. Famous films and series shot at the Julian Alps include The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) and The Wheel of Time (2021 - Present).
Piran
Located at the end of the Slovenean coast, Piran is a small and quaint little town on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Famous for its Venetian influences, medieval architecture, narrow streets, and compacted houses, the town served as the set for the American action thriller film, The Union (2024) starring Halle Berry, Mark Walhberg, and J.K. Simmons. The majority of the film was shot in Piran.
Cross Cave
Slovenia has no shortage of magical locations with amazing, scenic backdrops for your next film. Take Cross Cave, for example, known for its extensive network of caves, underground lakes, emerald pools, and stalactites that creates an otherworldly appearance. The mouth of the cave illuminates with artificial light but as you venture deeper into the bowels of the cave, natural light extinguishes and welcomes all in darkness.
Novo Mesto
Bordering Croatia, Novo Mesto is another stunning highlight in Slovenia, best known for its art and history museums. From a bird’s eye view, Novo Mesto offers extraordinary views of the meandering Krka River, gentle hills used for producing world-famous wine, and the famed Otočec Castle, the country’s only water castle in Slovenia situated on a small island in the Krka River. Beautiful, historic, and charming, Novo Mesto is truly a remarkable location for films set in times long past.
