How this list was made
We searched YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Apple Podcasts, Slovenia's own government sites in English and every club and association directory we could find, for English language sources about moving to and living in Slovenia, then kept the ones with a real audience and evidence they are still publishing. We favoured people who live there over people who visited, and material aimed at adults planning a permanent move. Anything with no upload or post in twelve months was dropped, except two podcasts we have deliberately kept and clearly labelled as stopped. Slovenia's English language creator field is the smallest of the twenty one countries we have built, and this page shows it at that size rather than padding it.
Audience figures. Every YouTube subscriber count was read off the channel's own page on 18 September 2026 and every Instagram follower count off the profile itself on the same day. Every upload date comes from the channel's official feed and is exact, and every video shown was confirmed by YouTube's oEmbed service to belong to the channel named. That check earned its place on this page: our first pass paired one video with the wrong channel's title, and the oEmbed check caught it. The three TikTok follower counts are third party approximations, because TikTok is the one platform we cannot read directly. Podcast episode counts and dates come from Apple's lookup service rather than the rendered Apple pages, which report episode dates wrong by a year or two. Association fees and membership figures were read off each organisation's own pages, and where a figure carries no date we say so on the card.
What we dropped, and why, because the omissions are the useful part here. Anna in Slovenia, a Canadian on a farm near Trzic and the channel every Slovenia list recommends first, last uploaded on 18 November 2024 and is out on the twelve month rule. Foreigners Speak Slovene last uploaded in June 2018. Go Slovenia has an English name, an English handle and 6,240 subscribers, and its videos are in Russian. sLOVEnians travel is run from Austria and stopped in July 2024. Slovely.eu reads as an English brand and is an Italian language portal whose latest video is about Austria. Slovenian Girl Abroad is a Slovene living in Switzerland. Taste of Slovenia has nine subscribers. Slovenia Vacation has published 260 videos to 52 subscribers since February 2023, which is a content farm and we will not link it. On Instagram, igslovenia is reported by third party trackers at about 99,800 followers; the live profile shows 133 followers and zero posts, which is a good reason to read profiles rather than trackers. The eight photographers who dominate every best of Slovenia Instagram list were flown in by the tourist board for a press trip dated July 2017 and live in Finland, Germany, Canada and the United States. Barbara Horvat, ranked eighth on one influencer index for Slovenia, is a Slovenian actress based in California.
Broken and misleading links we tested ourselves. Total Slovenia News, the most cited English language Slovenia resource on the internet, published its last article on 2 September 2022 and is still linked as live by nearly every guide that ranks; it is frozen, not hijacked. The Ministry of the Interior's old English pages at mnz.gov.si no longer serve, and the deep links to them are still being copied into relocation guides. The old business portal at eugo.gov.si is gone, replaced by SPOT. Two official sites are worse than dead: infotujci.si/en and zpiz.si with lang=en both load, never return a 404, and serve Slovenian, so a link checker scores them green while a reader gets nothing. One FURS path and one plausible looking gov.si residence permits path both return hard 404s. On podcasts, FluentFiction Slovenian publishes machine generated daily episodes and ranks well on Slovenian podcast searches; we name it and refuse to link it. We found no case of a former Slovenia expat blog turned into an affiliate or casino site: the failure mode here is that things simply stop and stay where they are.
Disclosure. This page is curated, not paid for. Nobody on it has paid to be here and nobody can. Where a creator or organisation sells something, from guided treks and food tours to relocation consulting, books, cave tickets or a paid news tier, we have said so on their card. Outbound links to creators run through our own redirect so we can count clicks and tell a listed creator how many readers we sent them; we take nothing from that traffic. We embed only the official players that YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and Apple provide and we do not copy anyone's images to our servers. If you make honest English language content about living in Slovenia and you are not here, tell us.
Latest: Just Arrived in Slovenia? Open a Bank Account, Part 6 · 18 September 2026
Instagram and TikTok
Fourteen Instagram accounts and three on TikTok, and nine of the fourteen are tourism boards. That is not laziness on our part, it is what exists: Slovenia's English language Instagram layer is almost entirely official. Every handle below was confirmed from the organisation's own website or from the account's own bio, which matters here because the national board is feelslovenia on Instagram and feel.slovenia with a dot on TikTok, and the account plainly called slovenia belongs to somebody else. Every follower count was read off the profile itself on 18 September 2026. The three TikTok figures are third party approximations because TikTok is the one platform we cannot read directly, and we have said so on each card.
Feel Slovenia
The Slovenian Tourist Board. The bio confirms it in its own words: official, tagged to the tourist board account. Nothing sold
286,000 followers and 6,842 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026, which makes this the largest Slovenia account anywhere and roughly three times the size of the next one. Captions run in English. It is national tourism marketing and we are not pretending otherwise, but for a reader deciding between the coast, the Alps and the Karst it is the cheapest way to see all three across a full year of weather. Note the handle: feelslovenia here, feel.slovenia with a dot on TikTok, and the account simply called slovenia belongs to somebody else entirely.
Visit Ljubljana
Ljubljana Tourism. The bio reads official Instagram profile of Ljubljana Tourism and gives the office address on Krekov trg. Sells city cards and tours
90,900 followers and 3,992 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. The most useful single account for anyone weighing the capital, because the highlights are organised by the things that decide whether a city works for you at sixty five: the Ljubljana card, the year round festival programme, central Slovenia beyond the ring road. It posts a lot and engages little, so treat it as a picture library of the city rather than a community.
Lake Bled
The Bled tourist information centre. The account trades under Lake Bled and the handle is bledslovenia, while its Facebook is LakeBledSlovenia and its TikTok is bled.slovenia with a dot
69,000 followers and 4,100 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Bled is where most people start and where a good many stop, so use this account for the unglamorous question: what the lake and the town look like in November, February and March. The highlights cover the local bus, events and off season planning, which is more than most destination accounts bother with.
Kranjska Gora
The Kranjska Gora tourist board, at the head of the valley on the Austrian and Italian borders. Address published in the bio
68,800 followers and 5,240 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Worth following if the alpine end of the country is your target, because the seasonal highlights are split winter by winter and summer by summer and show you exactly how much the place changes. This is the most genuinely four season corner of Slovenia and the account is honest about the snow and the road closures over the Vrsic pass.
Exploring Slovenia
Jerneja Fidler Pompe, a Slovene who writes about the country's mountains in English. Disclosed: the same domain sells guided hut to hut treks and climbing with certified mountain guides, so this is a creator account and a business in one
52,500 followers and 2,776 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026, and the largest non official Slovenia account we could verify. The best answer on this page to the question a sixty two year old actually asks, which is whether they can still walk in this country and where. Trails, huts, gradients and conditions, written by somebody who is on them. Read the route detail and take the recommendations knowing she sells the guided version.
Soca Valley
The Soca Valley tourist board, covering Bovec, Kobarid and Tolmin. Bio confirms the official account and gives the Bovec address
47,800 followers and 2,335 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026, and the healthiest engagement of any Slovenian board account we measured. This is the quiet west: cheaper property than Bled, Italy about forty minutes away, and a valley that empties out between October and May. The highlights include road and pass closures and visitor tips, which is the practical information people moving there need and rarely get.
Bohinj
Bohinj Tourism, for the larger and quieter lake inside Triglav National Park, twenty six kilometres beyond Bled
33,700 followers and 3,294 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Listed because Bohinj is the answer for a good number of people who arrive wanting Bled and then see the prices. National park rules govern what you can build and alter, which is a real constraint on a renovation project and not something this account will tell you, so read it for the place and read the planning rules elsewhere.
Visit Maribor
Maribor Tourism. The bio states official tourist account of Maribor Tourism, which is how we confirmed the handle: the board's own website blocks automated reading, so the account's own bio is the source
28,900 followers and 4,758 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026, and the strongest engagement rate of the nine boards here. Its own bio claims European Best Wine Capital 2026 and Best Green Capital 2025. Maribor is the value option in Slovenia, roughly half Ljubljana's price per square metre, with Austria over the hill and wine country on the doorstep. The account leans heavily on the Lent festival, so look past it for ordinary weeks.
Postojna Cave
Postojnska jama, the company that runs the cave, the Predjama castle, a hotel and a vivarium. A commercial attraction operator, not a tourist board, and we are labelling it as one
19,700 followers and 1,806 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Included as the only account of any size covering the Karst, which is the region between the capital and the coast that most readers have never considered and where prices sit below the national median. Treat it as regional flavour with a ticket desk attached rather than as a guide to living there.
THE SLOVENIA
A Ljubljana based curation brand trading at the-slovenia.com. It sells trips, gifts, a Slovenia map and its own book, which the highlights make plain. We could not establish who owns it
18,100 followers and 2,467 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Restaurants, wine, local producers and gifts, organised into a best of by year. Useful for building a list of places to eat and producers to visit on a scouting trip. We are listing the commercial interest and the missing ownership rather than presenting this as an independent guide, because it is not one.
Portoroz and Piran
The Portoroz and Piran tourist board, which the bio confirms. Note the handle carries a dot, portoroz.piran, while the Pinterest is portorozpiran without one and the Facebook uses the Slovenian legal name
17,300 followers and 862 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Small, but this is the official account for the whole of Slovenia's 47 kilometres of coast, which is the default target for sun seeking British and American retirees. The highlights split the season properly into summer, the hinterland and wellness, and the hinterland material is the useful part: one valley inland is where the coast becomes affordable and liveable in August.
LjubljanaYum food tours
Alenka Jeran and Meta Princic, running English language food, beer and wine walking tours in Ljubljana since 2013
3,990 followers and 1,622 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Small, real, local and in English, and one of very few ways a newcomer can meet people and learn the food in their first fortnight without speaking Slovene. One honest note: the pinned highlights stop at 2019, so while the account is live we could not date its recent posting, and the tours should be confirmed directly before you count on them.
British Embassy Ljubljana
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The bio confirms it is the official account of the British Embassy in Slovenia. Nothing sold
2,602 followers and 759 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026, and the highest utility per follower of anything on this page if you hold a British passport. It runs a dedicated UK nationals highlight, which is where residency status, consular notices, pensions and voting go. Tiny reach, official source, dated posts. Americans and Canadians should read it too, because the residency mechanics it describes apply to every third country national.
Slovenia Times
Slovenia's English language news portal. Its own bio now says it is run by the Slovenian Press Agency, which is worth knowing because the two mastheads are easy to confuse online
2,265 followers and 502 posts, read off the profile on 18 September 2026. Small account, disproportionate value: this is where tax changes, budget decisions, energy prices and elections reach an English speaker who has not yet learned to read Slovenian. Caveat on the parent site, which we have set out on its card below: a large share of its recent output is syndicated commercial newswire copy with nothing to do with Slovenia.
Visit Ljubljana
Ljubljana Tourism, the same city board as above. The handle matches the Instagram, which we checked on the board's own website rather than assuming
Approximately 125,700 followers, from a third party tracker in September 2026. TikTok is the one platform we cannot read directly, so treat every figure in this group as an approximation. Worth knowing that this account is about twenty times the size of the same board's YouTube and considerably larger than its Instagram, which makes it the single biggest Slovenian destination audience anywhere.
Feel Slovenia
The Slovenian Tourist Board. Note the handle: feel.slovenia with a dot here, feelslovenia without one on Instagram. The board uses four different spellings across its platforms
Approximately 54,400 followers, from a third party tracker in September 2026, against 286,000 on Instagram. The national board is one of the very few organisations in Slovenia posting short form English video at any scale. Approximate figure, as with everything in this group.
Portoroz and Piran
The Portoroz and Piran tourist board. Handle confirmed from the board's own website
Approximately 8,250 followers, from a third party tracker in September 2026, but with an unusually high like to follower ratio, which suggests the account is genuinely watched rather than merely followed. Listed because the coast is the region our readers ask about most and this is the only official short form video of it. Approximate figure.
