How to Get from Bohinj to Ljubljana
Leaving Lake Bohinj and heading to Ljubljana? You have several realistic options: regular bus, train from Bohinjska Bistrica, GoOpti or another shuttle, rental car, taxi or a pre-booked private transfer.
The best choice depends on where exactly you are staying in Bohinj, how much luggage you have, how flexible your schedule is and where in Ljubljana you actually need to go.
Ljubljana city centre, Ljubljana railway station, Ljubljana bus station and a hotel on the edge of the city are not exactly the same destination. For door-to-door services, the final address matters.
If you are travelling alone or as a couple and your schedule is flexible, bus or a shared GoOpti shuttle may be the cheapest sensible option.
If you enjoy travelling by train, Bohinjska Bistrica has a railway station and train can be an interesting alternative.
If you have several passengers, large luggage or simply want to go directly from your hotel in Bohinj to your hotel or address in Ljubljana, a private transfer becomes more convenient.
There is no single “best” option. The cheapest choice for one passenger is not necessarily the cheapest or easiest choice for four people with luggage.
Ways to travel from Bohinj to Ljubljana
🚌
Regular bus
Regular buses connect the Bohinj area with Ljubljana, normally travelling through Bled and other stops on the way.
For many travellers this is the simplest public transport option. It is particularly attractive if you are travelling light and your accommodation is close to a bus stop.
Journey times depend on the service, traffic and stopping pattern, so always check the current timetable for your travel date.
Usually the best budget option🚆
Train from Bohinjska Bistrica
Bohinjska Bistrica has a railway station on the scenic Bohinj railway line.
Train can be a pleasant way to travel if you are not in a hurry, although travellers staying in Ribčev Laz, Stara Fužina or Ukanc first need to reach Bohinjska Bistrica.
Depending on the timetable, the train journey may also require a change before reaching Ljubljana.
Good for travellers who enjoy rail travel🚐
GoOpti / shared shuttle
GoOpti offers bookable transport between Bohinjska Bistrica and Ljubljana. Prices depend on your date, pickup time, flexibility and whether you choose shared or private transport.
For one passenger or a couple, a shared GoOpti ride can sometimes be considerably cheaper than booking an entire private vehicle.
But compare like with like: a private GoOpti transfer is a different product from a shared seat and can cost considerably more.
If your schedule is flexible, it is absolutely worth checking GoOpti before deciding.
If Bohinj is part of a longer Slovenian road trip, driving to Ljubljana is straightforward.
The advantage is complete control over your departure time and the possibility of stopping in Bled, Radovljica or somewhere else on the route.
The disadvantage comes at the other end: parking in central Ljubljana is not always useful or cheap, and many hotels are inside or close to pedestrian areas.
Best if the car is useful after arrival🚖
Local Bohinj taxi
A local taxi is another perfectly reasonable option. Because the vehicle is already based in or near Bohinj, a local provider may sometimes offer a very competitive price.
Ask for the complete price to your exact Ljubljana destination before confirming the journey.
Always worth comparing⭐
Taxi Legende private transfer
Taxi Legende provides this journey as a pre-booked private transfer. The vehicle is reserved for your group and travels directly from your accommodation in Bohinj to your chosen address in Ljubljana.
This can be especially useful for families, groups, travellers with several suitcases or anyone arriving directly at a Ljubljana hotel without wanting additional connections.
Best for fixed door-to-door travel
Taxi Legende price – Bohinj to Ljubljana
For Taxi Legende, the basic pricing is the same starting level as our Bohinj → Ljubljana Airport transfer.
🚘 Car
from €90
Up to 4 passengers, provided everyone and the luggage fit comfortably and safely in the vehicle.
🚐 Van
from €140
Suitable for larger groups, more luggage or bulky items that do not make sense in a standard car.
The final price depends on the exact Bohinj pickup location, the Ljubljana destination, departure time, number of passengers and luggage. We always confirm the final price before booking.
Bohinjska Bistrica → Ljubljana city centre is not exactly the same journey as Ukanc → a hotel on the far side of Ljubljana. That is why the website shows a realistic starting price rather than pretending that every address is identical.
From your Bohinj hotel to your Ljubljana hotel
A large part of this route is not really “Bohinj station to Ljubljana station”. Travellers are often moving from one accommodation directly to another.
Pickup can be arranged from hotels, apartments, guesthouses and other agreed addresses in places such as: Bohinjska Bistrica, Ribčev Laz, Stara Fužina and Ukanc.
In Ljubljana, the destination may be a hotel in the city centre, an apartment, Ljubljana railway station, Ljubljana bus station, a business address or another agreed location.
If your Ljubljana hotel is inside the pedestrian centre, the vehicle will use the nearest practical legal access point.

A fair comparison
We are not going to tell you that a €90 private car is automatically the smartest option for every traveller.
If you are one person, have a backpack and GoOpti offers you a convenient shared seat at a low price, take the cheaper option.
If a regular bus leaves at the right time and your Ljubljana destination is near the bus station, the bus may be all you need.
Private transfer starts making more sense when several passengers share the cost, when you have luggage, when the pickup address is away from the main transport stops or when you simply value a fixed door-to-door journey.
Good travel advice should help you choose the right transport, not pretend one company is always the answer.
Booking information
Why a 50% advance payment may be required
Taxi Legende is based in Ljubljana. For a journey starting in Bohinj, our driver may travel from Ljubljana specifically to collect you.
For first-time customers, we may therefore require a 50% advance payment to confirm the vehicle and pickup time.
Payment
The advance payment is made through a payment link after the route, price and booking details have been agreed.
The remaining amount can normally be paid to the driver by cash or card, unless agreed otherwise.
This protects the reserved journey on both sides. If your plans change, tell us as early as possible.
The Legende rule
We do not do “right now”
“Hi, we are in Bohinj. Can you come now?”
Maybe if we invent teleportation. 😄
Taxi Legende is based in Ljubljana and works mainly with advance-booked private transfers. We do not keep cars parked in Bohinj waiting for spontaneous rides.
If you need an immediate local vehicle, a Bohinj-based taxi, bus or another local option will normally be faster and may also be cheaper.
If you know that tomorrow morning you need to travel from Bohinj directly to a Ljubljana hotel, station or other address, that is exactly the kind of journey we can plan properly.
Known date. Known pickup. Known destination. Much better than “now-now”.

Ljubljana airport landing - Welcome
January-18-2014
When arriving in Slovenia by plane, most travellers land at the country’s main international gateway – Ljubljana Airport (Jože Pučnik Airport Brnik). After landing, one of the first questions is how to get from Ljubljana Airport to your final destination. Whether you are travelling to Ljubljana city, Bled, Bohinj or the Slovenian coast, there are several transport options available.
1. Airport taxi (fast but expensive)
Right outside the terminal, you will find official airport taxis waiting. This is the quickest way to leave the airport, but also the most expensive option. A Ljubljana Airport taxi to Ljubljana city (approximately 25 km) usually costs between €50 and €80, depending on traffic, time of day and pricing conditions. Prices are not always fixed, which c
