Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport (LJU) is near Brnik, north of Ljubljana city center, and is reached by road. A pre-booked private transfer is the simplest option, especially for first-time visitors. A public bus (operated by Arriva) links the airport with Ljubljana, and there is a shared shuttle service with a sales point in Terminal B, but bus departure times may change and may not align with your flight. There is no rail connection to the airport. If you are arriving late at night or with family, booking transport in advance saves real headaches. Confirm current bus timetables and fares with the operator. ### What actually happens after landing LJU has two terminals, A and B, and the taxi station and the shuttle point of sale are at Terminal B. Luggage delivery is generally prompt, though busy summer periods can slow things down. The airport has an ATM and a tourist information point, and car rental providers operate at the airport. If your booking includes a meet-and-greet, the pickup details are in your booking confirmation. Confirm the exact meeting point at booking. Keep your phone reachable so you can confirm your transfer details after landing. ### Transport options explained honestly **Pre-booked private transfer:** A driver takes you from the airport to your accommodation in Ljubljana or elsewhere in Slovenia. The price is fixed when you book (see the live From price on this page), and you know the vehicle type in advance. **Public bus (Arriva):** A public bus runs between the airport and Ljubljana, and there are also lines towards Bled and Kranj. The airport's bus station is opposite Terminal A. Tickets can be bought online through the national DUJPP ticket portal (show the QR code on your phone), from the driver (cash or Visa, MasterCard, Diners), or at the ticket machine at the airport bus station. Timetables and fares change, so check the current timetable and fare on the airport bus page or at arriva.si. Departure times may change because of traffic, weather or operations, so check the last departure before relying on the bus for a late arrival. **Shared shuttle:** A shared shuttle service operates from a sales point in Terminal B. You can buy tickets on the provider's reservation page or at the point of sale. Prices and schedule are posted on the provider's page, so check them for your date. Taxis wait at the taxi station in front of Terminal B and run on the meter. There is no single regulated airport fare: each permitted provider charges its own tariff (a distance tariff, a time tariff when driving slowly, a starting fee and, for some providers, a luggage surcharge). Ljubljana Airport publishes a list of the permitted providers with their fare elements and indicative prices to selected destinations (possible deviations of +/- 10%). Check that list before you get in, make sure the meter is on, and ask for a receipt showing the starting fee, distance tariff and any surcharges. **Car rental:** Several rental providers are listed on the airport's car rental page, so you can compare them before you travel. If you are planning to explore Lake Bled, the Julian Alps, or the coast, renting a car can make sense. Motorway use requires an e-vignette. ### Realistic pricing expectations A pre-booked private transfer has a fixed price quoted at booking (see the live From price on this page). It depends on the vehicle type, destination, and any extras you choose. Metered taxis are priced by each provider's own tariff rather than a single regulated fare, and the total moves with traffic and your exact destination. Some providers add a luggage surcharge. Ljubljana Airport lists the providers' fare elements and indicative prices to selected destinations on its own site, so it is worth a look before you land. For the public bus and the shared shuttle, check the current fare on the operator's page for your date. Bus fares and shuttle prices are not quoted here because they change. ### Late night arrivals Public bus departure times may change so check the current timetable on the airport bus page before relying on the bus after dark. Shuttle availability depends on the provider's schedule for your date. Taxis are available at the taxi station, but how many are waiting varies through the evening and night. A pre-booked transfer removes that uncertainty for late flights. If your flight is delayed, tell your provider as soon as you can. The airport is in a rural area north of Ljubljana, so have your onward plan confirmed before you board. Bring snacks if you expect a late arrival, as food outlets may be closed. ### Families and luggage Traveling with children is straightforward at LJU. Baby changing facilities are located in the women's restrooms, and the airport offers free pram rental at check-in for departing passengers. Standard taxis do not necessarily carry child seats. If you need one, request it when booking a private transfer and confirm it in your booking. Slovenian rules require children under 140 cm or lighter than 36 kg to travel in a suitable child seat, according to the national road safety agency (AVP). For families with strollers and multiple bags, a larger vehicle can be more comfortable than a standard car, so say how many people and bags you have when booking. ### Where you meet the driver If your booking includes a meet-and-greet, the meeting point and the driver's contact details are in your booking confirmation. Confirm both at booking, and call or message the driver if you do not see them after landing. Taxis use the taxi station in front of Terminal B, marked with Taxi signs. A taxi you booked in advance may wait at another parking area outside the taxi station, so check that the waiting vehicle is the right one; the driver usually sends you its registration or other identification by app or message. ### Decision helper **Book a private transfer if:** you want a fixed price, are arriving in the evening, have children or significant luggage, or are heading somewhere other than Ljubljana center (Lake Bled, Kranj, Postojna). **Take the bus if:** you are on a tight budget, arriving during daytime hours, traveling light, and your timetable check shows a suitable departure. **Use the shared shuttle if:** you are traveling solo and can be flexible with timing; check the provider's price for your date. **Take a taxi if:** you prefer not to book ahead and are comfortable paying the metered fare. Check the provider's price list first. ## Summary Ljubljana airport is small and easy to navigate. Sort your transport before you board, especially if you land in the evening or have a family in tow. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-17) - Public bus, tickets and timetables: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/bus/ - Taxi station, provider fare elements and indicative prices: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/taxi/ - Shuttle point of sale: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/shuttle-services/ - Airport transport overview: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/ - Baby changing and prams: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/info/children-at-the-airport/ - Child seat rule (140 cm / 36 kg): https://www.avp-rs.si/nasveti-za-varnost-otrok-v-avtomobilu/ - Motorway e-vignette: https://evinjeta.dars.si/en ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How far is Ljubljana airport from the city center?** The airport is near Brnik, north of Ljubljana city center, and is reached by road.

Check your flight's actual arrival time and plan before you board. ## What is open late Shops and food outlets may be closed in the evening, so bring snacks if you expect a late arrival. The airport is in a rural area north of Ljubljana, not a city neighborhood. ## Transport options after dark **Public bus:** Departures are set by the operator, Arriva, and may change. Check the current timetable on the airport bus page for the last departure before relying on it, and note weekend and holiday timetables can differ. **Shared shuttle:** Availability depends on the provider's schedule for your date. Check the provider's page, and do not count on finding a seat at the last minute. **Taxi:** Taxis use the taxi station in front of Terminal B. How many are waiting varies. The fare runs on the meter at the provider's own tariff, so check the provider's price list for any night rules, make sure the meter is on, and ask for a receipt. **Pre-booked private transfer:** The price is fixed at booking (see the live From price on this page). If flight monitoring and meet-and-greet are included in your booking, confirm this at booking, and tell your provider if your flight is delayed. ## If your flight is delayed If you have a pre-booked transfer, give your provider your flight number and tell them about any change. With a taxi, you depend on what is available at the taxi station when you arrive. ## Safety Standing outside a quiet rural airport at night with luggage is not comfortable for anyone. Have your onward plan confirmed before you land, save the driver's phone number offline before you board, and avoid anyone who solicits passengers; the airport advises refusing unsolicited taxi offers. ## The practical recommendation If your flight lands in the evening, book your transfer in advance and check that your booking covers flight changes. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-17) - Public bus (operator Arriva, timetable and ticket options): https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/bus/ - Taxi rank, provider fare elements and indicative prices: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/taxi/ - Shuttle point of sale in Terminal B: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/shuttle-services/ ## Taxi vs Private Transfer from Ljubljana Airport **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju/taxi-vs-transfer Both taxis and private transfers will get you from LJU airport to Ljubljana. The difference is in price predictability, comfort, and how your arrival feels after a flight. ## Taxis at LJU Taxis wait at the taxi station in front of Terminal B and run on the meter. There is no single regulated airport fare: each permitted provider charges its own tariff (a distance tariff, a time tariff when driving slowly, a starting fee and, for some providers, a luggage surcharge). Ljubljana Airport publishes a list of the permitted providers with their fare elements and indicative prices to selected destinations (possible deviations of +/- 10%). Check that list before you get in, make sure the meter is on, and ask for a receipt showing the starting fee, distance tariff and any surcharges. On the positive side, you do not need to book anything: follow the Taxi signs to the taxi station. On the downside, the fare is not known until the ride ends, so ask for an estimate and check the meter. The airport advises refusing solicitations and checking that the taxi has a permit displayed behind the windscreen. ## Pre-booked private transfers The price is fixed at booking (see the live From price on this page), not read off a meter. You know the vehicle type in advance, and you can request child seats or extra luggage capacity in your booking. If meet-and-greet and flight monitoring are included in your booking, confirm this at booking. The main downside is that you need to book in advance. ## Price comparison | Option | Price to center | Booking required | |--------|----------------|------------------| | Taxi | Metered, provider's own tariff | No | | Private transfer | Fixed at booking (see live From price) | Yes | ## When a taxi makes more sense If you are arriving during the day, traveling light, and prefer to decide on arrival, a taxi works. The taxi station is in front of Terminal B. ## When a private transfer makes more sense If you are arriving in the evening or at night, traveling with children, carrying heavy luggage, heading outside Ljubljana, or want a price fixed before you fly, a pre-booked transfer is the better fit. ## The honest verdict Both options work. Compare the taxi provider's price list with the live From price on this page for your trip. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-17) - Taxi rank, provider fare elements and indicative prices: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/taxi/ - Airport transport overview (bus station, taxi station, car rental): https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/ ## Getting from Ljubljana Airport to the City with Kids **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju/family-and-kids Arriving at Ljubljana airport with children is manageable. LJU is a smaller international airport, which usually means less walking. ## The airport experience with kids Baby changing facilities are located in the women's restrooms. The airport lends prams free of charge at check-in for departing passengers. Food options may be limited at off-hours, so bring snacks for younger children. ## Child seats According to the national road safety agency (AVP), a child under 140 cm or lighter than 36 kg must travel in a suitable child safety seat. Standard taxis do not necessarily carry child seats. If you need one, request it when booking a private transfer and confirm the seat type matches your child's age and size. If you bring your own car seat, tell the provider in advance. Check the current rule with AVP before you travel. ## Choosing the right vehicle For a family with a stroller and several suitcases, a standard car can be tight. Tell the provider the number of passengers and bags when booking so the right vehicle type is assigned. ## Bus vs transfer with kids The public bus is the lowest-cost option, but with a stroller, bags and children it may be less convenient. Check the current timetable and fare on the airport bus page, and remember the bus has no child seats. ## Timing matters If you can, arrive during the day, when shops and services are open. For evening arrivals, a pre-booked transfer with a confirmed pickup plan removes uncertainty. ## The practical approach Book a private transfer with a child seat request, confirm the seat type in your booking, and choose a larger vehicle if you have several children or heavy luggage. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-17) - Baby changing facilities: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/info/children-at-the-airport/ - Child seat rule (under 140 cm or under 36 kg): https://www.avp-rs.si/nasveti-za-varnost-otrok-v-avtomobilu/ - Public bus (operator Arriva, timetable and ticket options): https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/bus/ ## How Much Does It Cost to Get from LJU Airport to Ljubljana? **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju/cost-to-city Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport is reached by road from the city center. The cost of getting there varies depending on your chosen transport method.

It runs between the airport and Ljubljana, and the airport's bus station is opposite Terminal A. Tickets can be bought online through the DUJPP ticket portal, from the driver (cash or Visa, MasterCard, Diners), or at the ticket machine at the airport. The fare, journey time and departures change, so check the current timetable and fare on the airport bus page or at arriva.si. Departure times may change because of traffic, weather or operations. ## Shared shuttle A shared shuttle service sells tickets through the provider's reservation page and at a sales point in Terminal B. Prices and schedule are posted on the provider's page, so get a live quote for your date rather than budgeting a fixed figure. ## Metered taxi Taxis wait at the taxi station in front of Terminal B and run on the meter. There is no single regulated airport fare: each permitted provider charges its own tariff (a distance tariff, a time tariff when driving slowly, a starting fee and, for some providers, a luggage surcharge). Ljubljana Airport publishes a list of the permitted providers with their fare elements and indicative prices to selected destinations (possible deviations of +/- 10%). Check that list before you get in, make sure the meter is on, and ask for a receipt showing the starting fee, distance tariff and any surcharges. The fare varies with traffic and your exact drop-off. Payment must be possible by card or cash. ## Pre-booked private transfer The price is fixed at booking (see the live From price on this page). It depends on the vehicle type, destination and any extras you choose, and whether meet-and-greet is included depends on your booking, so confirm it at booking. ## Transfers to other destinations Popular onward destinations include Lake Bled and Kranj, which also have public bus lines from the airport (see the airport bus page for timetables). For private transfers to these or other destinations, use the live From price on this page. ## What affects the price **Time of day:** Taxi providers publish their own fare elements, so check the provider's list for any night or holiday rules. For pre-booked transfers, any supplements are shown at booking. **Group size:** For several people, a private transfer can work out better per person than individual tickets, so compare the totals for your date. **Destination:** Prices depend on your exact drop-off point, so enter the exact address when booking. ## Tipping Tipping is not mandatory in Slovenia but appreciated for taxi and transfer drivers. ## Bottom line Compare the bus and the shuttle on the operators' pages, check the taxi price list at the airport, and use the live From price on this page for a fixed-price private transfer. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-17) - Public bus (operator Arriva, timetable and ticket options): https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/bus/ - Taxi rank, provider fare elements and indicative prices: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/taxi/ - Shuttle point of sale in Terminal B: https://www.lju-airport.si/en/transport/shuttle-services/ ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/lju/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=LJU Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
