By Bus

International and domestic bus lines and the Ljubljana municipal bus service all operate conveniently from the city's main bus terminal, not far from the center.

Private coach companies operate to and from Trieste in Italy and Zagreb in Croatia, as well as other European destinations farther afield. Domestic bus service is frequent from the capital to most Slovenian cities and towns (including most of the destinations in this guide). Outside of a car, the bus remains the only practical option to Bled and Bohinj and mountain destinations west and north of the capital. Except during peak travel periods, you can simply buy your ticket on the bus when you board. Otherwise, purchase tickets a day in advance with a reserved seat. Many buses do not run on Sunday.

Within Ljubljana, the municipal bus network is extensive, and service is frequent during weekdays. Service continues but is less frequent on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays. Buses on most lines stop running around 11 pm. To ride the bus, buy plastic bus tokens (zetoni) at kiosks and post offices, or simply pay the EUR 1 fare in exact change to the driver.
