Ljubljana
Slovenia
City of Delights. A vibrant city full of surprises, Ljubljana has all the advantages of a modern capital, and small-town friendliness.
Ljubljana enjoys a central position, making it the ideal base for exploring the rest of Slovenia. A crossroads, you can see Central Europe in the city's architecture, language, and half of its cuisine and the Mediterranean and Balkans in its traditions and the other half of its delicacies. You can see this in the city's café culture. People are often surprised how westernized and advanced Slovenia is. It's more in a class with its Austrian neighbors than its Eastern European counterparts.

We had a wonderful experience with JayWay Travel. From the beginning of formulating our trip ideas, to our arrival home, their assistance was excellent. Our individual needs, wishes, hopes were woven into great recommendations for places to stay, ways to travel, etc. We especially enjoyed our tour guides and driver, as they were so knowledgeable, personable, and attentive and flexible. We will certainly use JayWay again!

Without JayWay Travel, my friends and I would not have enjoyed the trip as we did. My wife and friends cannot stop talking about the trip without excitement and appreciation for my planning, for which I owe JaWay Travel. I recommend JayWay Travel to anyone and anywhere.

Ljubljana is a small ciy and unless you need to visit somwhere outside of the city centre, you can manage easily without using public transport. Jaywalking is prohibited - you'll notice that locals waiting at crossings do not cross while the red light is showing on the traffic lights - it is dangerous and you can also get a fine. Watch out for cyclists, even on the sidewalks and the pathway along by the river.
If you need to take a cab, always check the rate before you get in. Radio cars companies usually have better rates. We provide our guests with a list of useful numbers as part of our destination info pack.
If you want to take a local bus in the city, buy an Urbana tourist card. You can get it at tourist information centers, most city street kiosks and post offices sell them as well. One journey costs 0.80 cents and allows you to change as many buses as you need withing a period of 90 minutes.
