Internet, Mail & Shipping in Slovenia

Many hotels now set aside at least one terminal for guests to access the Internet—and some of the better places are now adding wireless Wi-Fi networks. Ljubljana has several Internet cafés (known locally as cybercafés), though these are harder to find in outlying cities and towns. Frequently cafés and bars will maintain a computer terminal or two and allow access for a fee—usually around EUR 5 an hour.

Postage is assessed according to weight. The standard international letter rate, including airmail, is EUR .70 for very light letters, and EUR 1.17 for standard size. Postcards sent abroad cost EUR .60. Post offices are open weekdays from 8 to 6 and Saturday from 8 to noon. Stamps are also sold at hotels, newsstands, and kiosks.
