A week in Slovenia without a car on a budget

This spring i did a trip to Slovenia, on a budget without a car. I have decided to share my exact itinerary, as most guides in Slovenia include a road trip. This itinerary includes everything from arriving to Slovenia (by air or road), different accommodation options for each location, depending on your budget. Managing public transport, moving around the country (a breakdown of all the buses/trains you'd need to take), activity options, tours, excursions, food to try, etc. This guide is suitable even if you plan a longer trip (2-3 weeks), as i will provide enough options for you. Additionally, i will include a full honest breakdown of the cost, and you will be able to do this trip on a budget with my tips. THIS GUIDE INCLUDES How to get to Slovenia (cheaper options) Day to day itinerary Different accommodation options (for different budgets) Activities i've done, plus extra ones if you are planning a longer stay Places to eat, food to try Public Transport and moving around country (tips on cheapest options) Day trips\excursion options Breakdown of the actual cost

How to get to Slovenia:

BY AIR:

Ljubljana Airport is located about 30km north of Ljubljana, in the direction of Bled. You can get to the city center either by bus or a taxi\uber.

♦ BUS - Duration 45min - Price 4.10e♢ TAXI\UBER - 20-30min - Price 30e

BUDGET TIP: As Slovenia's airport doesn't see big number of tourists, and direct flights are expensive and limited, you have different options that can save you money. You can fly into one of the neighboring airports, and take train\bus\bla bla car to Slovenia. Choose according to where you want your Slovenia itinerary to start. You can choose between: Venice, Treviso, or Milan in Italy, or Zagreb in Croatia, and Graz and Vienna in Austria.

ARRIVING BY BUS\TRAIN:

A much cheaper option if you are in Europe, is often just traveling by either bus or train. I have for instance paid 70e for a roundtrip, and took a night bus. If you have enough time and energy and want to save up, trains and buses will be your best options. Extra advantage is that train&bus station are in the city, and near main attractions, so it will be more convinient.

Hi, my name is Kristina and I am an adventurer passionate about slow travel. I’ve dedicated the last 5 years of my life to exploring the world, and gaining wider understanding on travel planning-especially budget friendly one! As I prioritize slow travel, I have chosen moving away from my homeland Serbia, and have spent 1 and a half year in New York, 6 months in San Francisco and around 2 years in Madrid. During my stay, I have done as much of traveling as possible, using up my days off, weekends and public holidays. I’ve joined this amazing platform in order to share my passion for my favorite places, as well as all the knowledge I have gained along the way. I will be sharing my favorite itineraries, budget tips, cultural insights, best coffee, places to eat, cool activites, and more. I can help you add the element of the authentic, local experience while abroad, and be of great help to different types of travelers, especially those with tighter budgets, traveling solo or studying\volunteering abroad. I specialize in Spain, though I am not limited to it, as I’ve had a lot of experience in travel while living abroad, where I have independently planned each and every one of my adventures. Hence, I am looking forward to helping you have the bestest time by taking care of that heavy planning part, so that you can fully enjoy your stay. I can help you out in 3 languages – Serbian , English and Spanish, so don’t hesitate to contact me!
