Getting from the airport to the city in Slovenia

• Public bus 28 runs between the airport and Ljubljana bus station, taking about 45 minutes.
• The fare is EUR 3.30 on weekdays and EUR 1.30 at weekends. That is not a typo and it is the reverse of the usual pattern - if you are arriving on a Saturday, the cheap fare is the normal one.
• Buses are timed loosely to flights but the service is not frequent. Check the departure before you settle in with a coffee.
• Shuttle minibuses (Nomago and others) run door to door for more money and are worth it in a group.
• Taxis are metered and the airport is about 25 km from the city.

Slovenia is small, and three foreign airports serve it as well as its own.

• Venice Marco Polo and Treviso are two to three hours from Ljubljana by coach and often much cheaper.
• Trieste is closer to the Slovenian coast than Ljubljana is.
• Klagenfurt and Zagreb both work for parts of the country.
• Compare total cost including the transfer before assuming Ljubljana is the right arrival - for the coast or the Julian Alps it frequently is not.
