Slovenia operates on Central European Time (CET) during winter months, which is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+1). During daylight saving time, observed from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, Slovenia switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2.
All of Slovenia follows the same timezone. Major cities including Ljubljana, Maribor, and Celje, as well as the coastal town of Piran, all observe the same time. Slovenia shares its timezone with all its neighboring countries.
Slovenia is one of the most biodiverse countries in Europe, with over 60% of its territory covered by forests. Lake Bled, with its island church, is one of the most photographed locations in Central Europe. Slovenia was the first former Yugoslav republic to adopt the euro in 2007.
