With its picturesque location, diverse attractions, and a variety of experiences, Nova Gorica is a hidden gem for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.
As a border town, Nova Gorica is shaped by the unique fusion of Slovenian and Italian cultures. This influence is reflected in its architecture, cuisine, language, and everyday life.

The nearby Italian border town of Gorizia offers a further opportunity to explore this blend of cultures.
Nova Gorica is located in the heart of the Goriška Brda wine region, a beautiful hilly area known for its vineyards and excellent wine production. Visitors can tour the local wineries and enjoy tastings of the region’s finest wines, including the renowned Rebula, a white wine that has become a symbol of the area. The region is also famous for its food, and many local restaurants serve traditional Slovenian dishes with an Italian twist, such as fresh seafood, pasta, and homemade bread.
