By car, rail and bus

Slovenia’s road and rail network has been modernised over the past decade in order to provide an efficient transport system, integrated with the broader European area and specifically the neighbouring countries.

Railway connections from Ljubljana to the major cities across the borders are often operated by intercity trains.

It is also convenient to travel by bus to reach other localities around the country. The Ljubljana Bus Station has regular services to all Slovenia's neighbouring countries and the most popular tourist destinations within the country. The city public transportation network is complemented by more than 30 suburban buses, which link Ljubljana to its close surroundings.

Moving around in the city

The public city bus network makes it easy to travel within the city. There are more than 40 bus lines, which run according to regular schedules throughout the day. Holders of the Ljubljana Card are entitled to free of charge use of the city bus network.

The BicikeLJ public bicycle system is available across the wider Ljubljana city centre. Bicycles can be hired practically for free.

Ljubljana also has a well-organised taxi service, which is not exceedingly expensive. There are fixed spots in the city where taxis are stationed, or they can be ordered by telephone.
