Which currency is used in Slovenia and can I use cards? expand_more
Slovenia uses the Euro (EUR). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, shops and larger attractions. ATMs are common in cities and towns, and cash may be required for small vendors or in remote mountain areas, so carrying a modest amount of euros is advisable.
