I have decided that for some unknown reason Ljubljana is "calling" me. If there is not enough for me to do (I will look into day trips going outside of the city), I will just wander, stop by cafes, visit shops and galleries, etc. What I would like to know now is when to go. I don't like the winter time or cold. Is August or September too hot and crowded? I can pretty much go any time it pleases me.

I am thinking of visiting Ljubljana and staying for seven nights. Is this too long of a stay? Can you give me suggestions for an itenary? I was going to go to Prague, but my daugter wants us to go there next year. I am an older female and am looking for a walkable city that I can spend some quality time in.

Dear all,
Would like to get some advice on travel from Bled direct to Rovinj, I'm thinking of 4 ways, pls give me some advice, thanks!
1. Bled (if I rent a car), drive to Rovinj direct, but I heard that it's not possible or very expensive to cross country, what is the latest situation? Any car rental company recommended?
2. Bled (if I rent a car), drive to Piran, then change bus/ train to Rovinj (if any). Also, not sure any rental company allow car pick up at Ljubljana and drop off at Piran (if not allow cross country)
3. Any shuttle service serve this 2 spots? Expensive?
4. Take bus from Bled to Ljubljana, then bus from Ljubljana to Rovinj. I just dont want to go back to Ljubljana from Piran to get on the bus to Rovinj.
Thanks so much for help!

My friend will be in Kranjska Gora and he would like to visit Udine and Villach while he is there too. Kranjska Gora is closer to Italian and Austrian borders than Ljubljana, but we guess he would have to go back to Ljubljana and then catch something for Udine or Villach. Or not? Even from Ljubljana, what is best way to go to Udine or Villach?

Hi, I really hope someone can help out on how to find a cheap place to live in Ljubljana as soon as possible. Any tips highly appreciated!
My girlfriend and her friend has just arrived in Ljubljana to study at the university until mid-June this year. They're currently living in some dorms, but would like to find their own place as soon as possible.
It would be perfect with just two seperate rooms and of course a bathroom and a kitchen, but might be bigger as well. Doesn't have to be right beside the university, but still pretty central.
Are there anyone who knows about anything like that, or has some tips as of where to look online or in the city for short term appartments? (4-5 months).
Best regards!
Brian

Travelling in July from Dubrovnik to Treviso, Italy via Slovenia via car. Have been quoted around AUD $2000 for 10 days car hire. Any suggestions on how to decrease this cost? Ive looked at breaking up the trip Dubrovnik to Split, Split to Ljubljana and Ljubljana to Treviso, but even doing that, the cost comes in at around AUD $1600. Obviously one-way drop off increases the price, but I was surprised to receive such high quotes

Hiya.
I'm really keen to go away for 2 weeks at the end of February/beginning of March just by myself. I'm a musician so I'm looking for somewhere in Slovenia, where I can take my guitar and be inspired by my surroundings. I'm ideally looking for a log cabin or a lovely apartment in an incredible surrounding (trees, hills etc.). I've also tried to look for somewhere with a hot tub but I'm very much struggling to find somewhere with these kind of facilities that doesn't break my budget of Ł800 for the 2 weeks.
If anybody has any suggestions of a lovely destination or accommodation, it'd VERY MUCH be appreciated.
Thank you.
Scotty.

Hello, everyone!
Does anyone know if there are buses running from Ljubljana to Vienna (Dunaj in Slovene language)? I did some superficial research but couldn't find much... Maybe from any other city in the country, since it's so small?
I checked the trains but if the schedules I found on DB Bahn are accurate, then most of them don't work that well for me. I would either have to lose a whole day with luggage in Vienna or I would risk losing my flight from Vienna airport if the trains are delayed...

In May we will be spending 10 days in Slovenia then travelling from Ljubljana to Venice. The train is difficult to we are looking for an alternative. There seems to be two choices and I need to know which is the more reliable.
One is a company called Go Opti who seem to run a shuttle although I can's find anything on the net about this company.
The other is a bus company called DRD Bus. A few reviews online that say this company doesn't seem too reliable.
Can anyone tell me if they know about these two companies and which one we should trust to get us to Venice ?

We are planning on spending a couple of weeks in Slovenia in August. We don't have a lot of choice on the timing. Are there heaps of tourists there in August and if so, any recommendations on where to go that isn't too busy? We'll be travelling by bus or train. Thankyou

I would like to spend a relaxing weekend in a Slovenian Spa. I've already been to Moravske toplice, Topolšica and Zrece, now I would like to try some place I haven't been yet. I've read all sort of websites and rewievs about the Slovenian spas, but I am still sooo undecided which to choose. I would like to try one of these: Radenci (Hotel Izvir), Rogaška (Hotel Styria), Catež (Hotel Terme) or Šmarješke toplice (Hotel Vital). Pictures in the hotel websites are all so promising, but often it turns out that reality is different... I'm basically looking for a good hotel with nice spa (whirpools, swimmingpools etc.).
So, can anyone help me by suggesting me which of the spas mentioned above is worth a visit?
Thank you in advance!

I've been looking at the Slovenian train website, searching for trains from Maribor to Ljubljana and back and saw a "tourist weekend ticket" advertised. It says this ticket is valid for domestic train services on a weekend.
Is this ticket valid in an ICS train for travelling from Maribor to Ljubljana and back on the same day, a Saturday? It's a lot cheaper than the regular fare.
It also says, that reservation is compulsory. How much is the reservation fee?
Thank you for your help.

One of the trains which my daughter considers taking arrives very late in Maribor, too late to figure out the bus system in the dark after a long day spent in the train and on stations. Is there a taxi rank at the station? Is there else anything else to know about the taxis in Slovenia? I'm thinking something like the difference between the official taxis and the unlicensed minicabs in London.
We've booked our trains and hotels and I'm really looking forward to finally going to Slovenia. The more I read about it, the more I wish we'd have more time there.

Dear VTers,
I need some help here. This December I would like to visit a couple of Christmas markets in Slovenia and Klagenfurt. I have already visited the markets at Alto Adige a couple of years ago and enjoyed myself and really got into the Christmas spirit. This year I am planning to land in Treviso Italy and hire a car and drive to Bled & Ljubljana and then to Klagenfurt.
Problem is that hired cars in Italy are not equipped with snow/winter tires. Ok,I can get snow chains but do you think that I have any difficulties driving in Slovenia with normal tires?
Are the Christmas markets in Slovenia and Klagenfurt worth visiting compared to Merano or Vipiteno?
Thanks in advance,
Ronnie

We need to travel by public transport from Lake Bled to Italy on 27 December and have to arrive in Lucca on 28 December. We were hoping to overnight in Trieste on 27 December but finding direct route from Lake Bled is problematic. Can anybody help with any suggestions? Would it possible to catch overnight train and go to Lucca, rather than stopover in Trieste?
Any help would be appreciated thanks

We're thinking of taking the night train to Maribor, to have at least two full days there. Are there any left luggage facilities in the train station? We haven't booked a hotel yet, but no matter where, we won't be able to go there at 9:00 in the morning.
I suppose there are taxis at the train station, aren't there?
Does anyone know of a hotel/hostel near Panonska ulica?
As always, thank you for any information.
