I'm Asian. Always interested to visit the beautiful Slovenia. Should I be afraid going to Slovenia since I'm Asian?

    It took a while to decide what to answer to you, simple no answer was too simple :) I have lived in Slovenia, visited there multiple times (I am not Asian but I used to almost blond, some what different from locals) and faced NO threats. Be welcome to one of Europe's most beautiful country.

    I took travel summary from official sources: fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-liv...

    I'm not Asian myself but I'm not sure why you think there might be any more problems visiting Slovenia than visiting any other European country? When I've visited e.g. Ljubljana, Bled, Maribor etc I've seen people of different ethnic origins just as I have when visiting other European countries.

    I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine. Slovenia is a beautiful, friendly country and definitely worth visiting.

    I would be very suprised if you have any problems there. Slovenians are probaply the most intellectual people in europe if you take an average of each person. Most people there master 4 languages and most of them have a global mindset. I have a friend who is a black guy and he lives in Slovenia with his slovenian girlfriend and i have asked him if ´he ever had any problems cause he is black and he told me he had none whatsover. He actually had more problems when he lived in London. The small slovenian town Piran even has a black mayor which kinda says something about the countrys attitude to Foreigners.

    Sure you can come across some racist jerk but that can happen anywhere but it's less likely in Slovenia than most other countries in Europe.

    I understand your concern cause there are stories coming out from time to time from some other countries in the region but slovenia is a positive suprise in that regard.

    My wife and I are from the Philippines and we visited Bled and Ljubljana last December. We had a great time, absolutely no problems with anyone anywhere.

    i am from slovenia and most of us like foreigners. there are some racists like in any other countries, but not nearly as little as slovenia. i once travelled withca chineese couple (showed them around ljubljana a bit since i live there) and noone was racist to them. hell, some of us are kinder to foreigners than slovenians. ifnyou wanna ask something about slovenia, email me to zigastrmsek2@gmail.com and if you need a tour like that couple, just tell me
