Transport options

For exact times and prices, always use the official operator links, because schedules change.

Bus

Often direct or one-connection. Verify current operator, border route, baggage allowance, and arrival time.

Car

Check insurance, registration, road tolls, parking, winter equipment, and how long a foreign-registered vehicle may be used in your circumstances.

Plane

Possible arrival airports include Ljubljana, Zagreb, Trieste, Venice, Graz, or Vienna. The useful airport depends on whether you study in Ljubljana, Maribor, Primorska, Nova Gorica, or Celje.

Train

Rail may work as part of a route but often requires connections from Macedonia.
