How to get there:
By plane: Ljubljana is Slovenia's primary international airport and the hub of national carrier Adria Airways, which flies to most major European cities and various Balkan destinations. The cheapest ways into the city, though, are via easyJet's daily flight from London-Stansted or Wizz Air's services from Brussels-Charleroi.
There are a few other options worth exploring. Ryanair runs 3 flights per week from London-Stansted to Maribor, as well as from Dublin to Pula across the border in Croatia. Another convenient gateway, especially to western Slovenia, is via Italy's Trieste airport which is but an hour's drive from Ljubljana via super highway. Klagenfurt, in Austria, is also an option.

By train: Slovenia is well connected to all its neighbors by train. The most popular routes connect from Vienna or Villach in Austria (in good weather, this journey past the Julian Alps is spectacular), from Venice in Italy, from Budapest in Hungary and from Zagreb in Croatia. All lines converge on the capital Ljubljana.

By bus: The Ljubljana Bus Station (Avtobusna Postaja Ljubljana) provides composite information about international and airport bus services. Phone: 090 93 42 30 (inland only) English Website: http://ap-ljubljana.si/eng/

Weather: Due to the changes in climate – Mediterranean at the coast, Alpine in the Alps and Karavanke mountains, and Pannonian to the northeast of the country – the appropriate clothes for each season is recommended.
Average temperatures in July are above 21oC and in January 0oC. In the summer it can be very hot at the coast and quite cold in the mountains. We advise you to check the weather forecast before coming to Slovenia.
