NOVO MESTO

The most beautiful town in the interior of Slovenia has been for centuries the centre of administrative, cultural, religious and economic life in Dolenjska – and a unique landscape in the south of the country. Surrounded by vineyards, in the shelter of the Krka Valley, the town hides an amazing archaeological heritage. On the slopes of the city you can visit traditional events, picturesque churches, monasteries, museums and galleries.
