No — there is no direct train to the airport. The closest station is Kranj, about 20 minutes from Brnik by taxi. The most practical public option is the airport bus from Ljubljana's central bus station (€4.10, roughly hourly).
GoOpti is a shared transfer service — you share the vehicle with other passengers. Prices are typically €10–20 per person. It is a good budget option if you travel solo, have a flexible schedule and do not mind detours for other pickups. For groups, early flights, or when timing matters, a private transfer is usually better value overall.
Many Ljubljana hotels offer their own transfer — it is worth asking at reception. Prices vary from €50 to over €100. If the hotel option works for you, use it. If not — or if you want a comparison — we are here.
From €40 for a car (up to 4 passengers), from €60 for a van (up to 8). The exact price depends on your hotel's location and is confirmed at booking — it does not change.
Yes — same price in both directions. We track your flight and adjust pickup if the flight is delayed. No extra charge for delays.
Art Hotel Ljubljana is a design-forward boutique hotel with an emphasis on local art and creative interiors. It sits close to the old town without being fully inside the most restricted pedestrian zone — which makes drop-off from the airport slightly more straightforward than the deep old-town hotels.
We bring you directly to the hotel entrance. Journey time from Brnik Airport: approximately 25–30 minutes on the A2 motorway. If you're arriving midday, traffic is minimal. Friday evenings before 19:00 can slow the motorway toward the city — worth noting if your flight lands then.
The hotel's location is useful for the first morning of a Ljubljana stay. The central market is a 5-minute walk. The castle funicular is 10 minutes. The Dragon Bridge is on the way to both. It's a logical starting point before heading onward to Bled or the coast.
