Looking for a private Ljubljana to Portorož transfer? Taxi Legende offers direct private rides from Ljubljana to Portorož, Piran and hotels along the Slovenian coast.
Portorož is Slovenia's answer to a seaside resort — the longest sandy beach on the coast, a promenade lined with hotels, a casino, and a lively summer atmosphere. Right next door (2 km away) is Piran, the historic jewel of the Slovenian Riviera. Most visitors base themselves in Portorož and walk to Piran for the atmosphere.
From Ljubljana it's 135 km, about 1h 45min by car. There is no train line to the coast.
Getting There
Via Koper — 2 to 2.5 hours
Buses from Ljubljana's Avtobusna postaja run to the coast with a change in Koper. The bus terminates on the main road through Portorož — convenient for most hotels. Outside summer, frequency drops, so check ap.si for current timetables.
Shared shuttle, picks you up at home
GoOpti covers Ljubljana–Portorož. Door to door, lower price than private. Flexible timing — they confirm departure once they've matched passengers. Good for solo travellers heading to well-known hotel areas.
Direct, your hotel, fixed price
We pick you up in Ljubljana and drive to your Portorož hotel without stops. For families or groups with luggage, this is the most comfortable option. The same price also covers Piran if that's where you're staying.
Portorož & Piran — Best of Both
These two towns are so close that most visitors experience both. Here's how they differ:
- Portorož — the beach (300m sandy beach), modern hotels, casino, nightlife, water sports. More of a conventional resort feel.
- Piran — medieval alleys, Venetian architecture, seafront squares, local restaurants. More history, more character, smaller scale.
The walk between them along the coast takes about 25 minutes. If you're in Portorož for the beach and want to explore the old town, Piran is right there.

Portorož — What to Expect When You Get There
Portorož is Slovenia's only real resort town. It's built around a south-facing bay with a sandy beach (the only sandy beach on the otherwise rocky Slovenian coast), grand hotels along the promenade, a casino, and a thalassotherapy spa that has been operating since the late 19th century.
The beach is the main draw, but the surrounding area offers more than just sunbathing:
- Piran — 3 km east. Walk the seafront promenade (~30 min) or take a taxi. The old Venetian town is the cultural centrepiece of the Slovenian coast.
- Sečovlje salt pans — 5 km south. A UNESCO biosphere reserve. Traditional hand-harvested salt, flamingos in season, a working salt museum. Unexpectedly worthwhile.
- Strunjan Nature Reserve — 5 km north. Coastal cliffs, salt pans, a lagoon. Best walked in the early morning.
- Lipica Stud Farm — 20 km east. The original home of the Lipizzaner horses (the ones from the Vienna Spanish Riding School). Guided tours daily.
We drop you at your hotel entrance — Portorož hotels have direct road access, no car-free complications.
