Fixed price to Ljubljana
Venice and Slovenia are closer than most people think. In under three hours you go from the lagoon to Ljubljana’s riverside cafés or the Alpine lake at Bled, with no train changes and no luggage to drag between platforms.
The route
From Venice the motorway runs east past Trieste and crosses into Slovenia on the Karst plateau. Ljubljana is about 2 hours 30 minutes from Venice Airport or Piazzale Roma. Lake Bled is another 40 minutes north, towards the Julian Alps.

Stop in Ljubljana on the way to Bled

Questions travellers ask
Do we need to stop at the border?
No. Italy and Slovenia are both in the Schengen area, so there are no border checks. Carry your passport or ID card anyway.
Can you pick us up in the centre of Venice?
Cars can’t enter the historic centre, so pick-ups are at Piazzale Roma, the closest point reachable by road, or at your hotel in Mestre or on the mainland.
Can we book the return from Bled to Venice Airport?
Yes. Book both directions together and enter the dates and times in the booking form.
