There are many Indians, few Chiefs – true Legends are rare.
And one drives the world — wherever you wish. 🚖
Warmbad is the thermal district of Villach, Austria's second-largest city in Carinthia — a place where Roman soldiers once bathed and where the water still rises at the same temperature it always has. The spa infrastructure here is serious: radioactive radon thermal water (in the medical sense — it has measurable therapeutic effects), a range of hotels from budget to luxury, and the full Austrian wellness hospitality that this region does well.
Villach itself is a pleasant city with a functioning old town, good restaurants, and easy access to the surrounding lakes and mountains. Staying in Warmbad means you have the best of both: the city within walking distance and the Alps right there.
From Ljubljana Airport: motorway north through the Karawanken tunnel to Villach, then a short drive to the Warmbad district. About 90 minutes. The Karawanken crossing is the main landmark of the journey.
Price is fixed and agreed before you travel. We pick you up at the terminal — no taxi rank queuing, no meter. Book the day before at the latest.

We've been driving people around Slovenia for over 15 years. What started as a simple airport taxi has grown into a transfer service trusted by tourists, business travelers, and returning visitors.
We cover all of Slovenia and beyond — Bled, Bohinj, Piran, the Croatian coast, Venice, Trieste and Zagreb. Fixed prices, no surprises, available 24/7 — even if your flight is delayed.
We always tell you the truth — even if our service isn't the best option for you. Travelling solo to Ljubljana city centre? The bus for €4 is perfectly fine. Got three people with luggage headed to a spa resort? That's where we shine.
Pre-booking required — the day before, at the latest. We do not wait at Brnik for walk-in customers. Once booked, you receive the car details and registration number by WhatsApp or SMS before pickup. No surprises.
