Luxury holidays in Ljubljana

When to go

In summer, the city’s cultural scene fizzes with classical music and art festivals, but spring and autumn hit the sweet spot for mild weather minus the high-season crowds.

Getting there

• Planes

  Flights touch down at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport from European hubs including London Gatwick and Paris Charles de Gaulle. There are also seasonal flights from London Heathrow.

• Trains

  Ljubljana railway station has direct links to Trieste and Vienna, with easy connections onwards to Venice, making Continental city-hopping seductively simple.

• Automobiles

  Ljubljana is around an hour’s drive from Trieste and two-and-a-half hours from Venice, plus it’s linked by motorway to cities in Austria, Croatia and Hungary, too. However, much of the city centre is pedestrianised, and bike rentals are always on hand, so you won’t need a car unless you plan to explore further afield.
