Getting Around

Ljubljana is small city and the best way to get around is on foot. From the railway and bus stations to center is a short ten minute walk. Once you are on Presernov trg (square) or in front of City Hall, all of the major sights are within a ten minute walk.

Bicycle

Bicycles are available from a small street-side rental kiosk just off Presernov trg, run by the city. First two hours are free, with a nominal fee per hour after that. Small deposit is required. Bicycles are simple unisex "coaster" bikes with a basket and lock. Most of the streets in the core of the city have special bicycle lanes, and at major intersections there are bicycle traffic lights. This is an excellent way to tour the city at very low cost.

Bus

This is the prefered method of public transportation. The bus network is extensive and served at frequent intervals, somewhat less so on weekends. You can pay the bus driver when you get on, but you are expected to have the change ready. It's much better to buy bus tokens at any newsstand or post office. Bus tokens cost 0,80€ if you pay at the bus it's 1€ and you must have exact change!

Night services are very reduced or there aren't any at all.

Taxi

Lots of cabs can be found in the city center, especially at night after most buses stop running.

Car

Parking is a major problem in Ljubljana, although the representatives of city hall have recently presented plans for P+R (park and ride) bus system. . It is suggested to park the car in a garage or car park near Tivoli hall close to the centre and continue on foot. Garages are generally well marked. The closest to the center is in Trg Republike (across from the Parliament building). If you nevertheless want to park at the city centre during the daytime, you must buy a prepaid parking ticket (sundays and holidays excepted) and display it in your car.
