Tip: If you travel to Ljubljana by car, we recommend using the P+R (Park and Ride) system. Park at one of the P+R parking lots on the outskirts of the city and take the city bus to the center. This way you avoid searching for a parking space in the center and reduce traffic jams. You can find more information about P+R parking lots on the website of the Ljubljana Passenger Transport (LPP).
