19TH JULY – 29TH JULY
additional final session on 28th and 29th September 2016 (not obligatory to attend)
working Language - English
1. ARRIVING TO LJUBLJANA
By plane
The Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU) is 26 km far away from the city centre, reachable by bus, shuttle bus and taxi. Public
bus service operates to/from Ljubljana bus station and runs about every hour (from 5.00 to 20.00 during weekdays).
The journey takes 45 minutes and costs around 4.10 EUR (tickets can be purchased directly from the driver). There is
also a private shuttle service running less frequently but it is a bit faster. The bus stops at the bus station in Ljubljana
are situated in front of the railway station.
You can also arrange a GoOpti transfer, which also takes you to your desired drop-off location:
https://www.goopti.com/en/transfers. We advise you to book the service in advance.
The taxi, located at the rank in front of the airport, costs around 30.00 EUR.
Several airports in the neighbouring countries are relatively near as well and you might find cheaper tickets there:
e.g. Trieste-Ronchi, Venice – Marco Polo di Tessera (VCE), Zagreb, Graz, Klagenfurt, and Vienna. GoOpti also travels
to these locations, but you need to book the service in advance.
By train
Ljubljana has good railway links with Austria (Vienna, Klagenfurt, Graz), Germany (Munich), Croatia (Zagreb, Rijeka),
Hungary (Budapest), and Italy (Trieste).
The main train station in Ljubljana (Železniška postaja) is situated in the city centre – a 10-minute walk to the old
town. To reach Ljubljana by rail, you can check the timetables by clicking on: http://www.slo-
zeleznice.si/en/passengers/abroad/destinations.
By coach
The bus station (Avtobusna postaja Ljubljana) is situated in front of the main train station. The station also serves
long distance buses. To reach Ljubljana by coach, you can check the timetable by clicking on: http://www.ap-
ljubljana.si/eng.
By car
Reaching Ljubljana by car, do not risk driving on the motorways without a road toll vignette, since the fines are
heavy. Vignettes (stickers) can be bought at any petrol station.
