Nova Gorica, a city without boundaries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Right by the border with Italy, near Gorizia, the young city of Nova Gorica grew after the Second World War, vibrant with parks, roses and youthful energy. Decades later, the border has been erased, the two Goricas now joined in a friendly conurbance of twin cities enriched by two languages and two cultures. With its tightly knit cross-border cooperation, the contemporary Gori\u0161ka region is developing a new, emerging space of cohabitation in Europe. The two Goricas jointly received the title of the European Capital of Culture 2025. Nova Gorica is also a city of entertainment and nightlife. Two amusement parks, casinos and many gaming salons with attractive shows and the latest slot machines give the city a special vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
