Getting Slovenia

It was a great fun and scenic traveling Slovenia by any kind of public transport. Trains provide the fastest means of traveling on the main routes linking the capital with Maribor and Koper, or with Austria and Italy. Slovene railways run a smooth and efficient service. Trains are divided into potniski (slow ones which stop at every halt) and IC (intercity trains which are faster and slightly more expensive). Slovenia's bus network consists of an array of small local companies, but their services are well co-coordinated. Big towns such as Ljubljana, Maribor and Koper have big bus stations with computerized booking facilities where you can buy your tickets hours (if not days) in. The road system is both comprehensive and of reasonable quality. Stretches of the main Ljubljana-Koper, Ljubljana-Maribor and Ljubljana-Jesenice routes are classed as motorways ( avtoceste ) and large stretches of them have been converted to dual carriageway (tolls are levied on these routes); elsewhere main roads soon get clogged up with summer traffic. Except for long journeys, bus is the preferred way of getting around Slovenia. There are frequent departures and the network has an octopus' reach across the country. In some cases, there's no choice; traveling by bus is the only practical way to get to Bled and Bohinj, the Julian Alps and much of the coast from Ljubljana. Driving a car can be a good way to get to some of the most beautiful and isolated towns and villages in Slovenia, and rental prices are reasonable.
