Getting Around

How to get to and from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at LJU

Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport is connected to Zgornji Brnik and the wider Slovenia transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Bus line 28 runs to the Ljubljana bus station in about 50 minutes (roughly €3.90 on weekdays, cheaper on weekends per one source, though a conflicting fare table was also found — confirm at the ticket machine); it runs roughly 07:00-21:00 every 30-60 minutes, but has limited space for large luggage and most buses lack wheelchair ramps. A faster Nomago shuttle (about 40 minutes, roughly €12, with some sources citing €24) runs 09:15-22:30 daily.

Taxi

Metered taxis take about 30 minutes and average roughly €30 for up to 4 passengers (base fare €0.80-1.50 plus €0.70-1.70/km, no surcharges).

Rideshare

Uber operates in Ljubljana only as a taxi-dispatch layer, not classic private-driver Uber; Bolt offers scooters in Slovenia but not car rides — neither functions as conventional rideshare, and neither is confirmed to serve the airport itself.

Car Rental

On-site car rental counters are available (specific brands weren't individually confirmed).

Insider tip

There's no rail link at all — the bus, shuttle, or a taxi/prebooked car are your only options into the city.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport website before travel.
