Currency Exchange

It is relatively easy to exchange foreign currency into Tolars within Slovenia, however, it is advisable to exchange surplus amounts to the currency of your choice before leaving Slovenia, as it is not generally exchangeable elsewhere. Foreign currencies can be exchanged at banks and some hotels, supermarkets, petrol stations, tourist agencies and exchange bureaux. Travellers cheques are widely accepted but to avoid additional exchange rate charges, travellers are advised to take travellers cheques in Euros, US Dollars or Pounds Sterling.

Banks

The banking hours in Slovenia are generally Monday to Friday 8:30am-12:30pm and 2pm-5pm. They are also open Saturday 8:30-11:am or 12pm.
