Field notes

Compact, walkable, bicycle-first — among the most quality-of-life-dense capitals in the EU. The Old Town and Trnovo are the dense nomad pockets. Slovenia has no DNV — it's pure Schengen 90/180. Lake Bled, the Julian Alps, and Trieste/Venice are all <2 hours; this is part of the value proposition for a 90-day base.

Schengen 90/180 — no DNV; long-stay routes via business / employment / family reunification.
