Ljubljana → Bohinj · Slovenia
How to Get from Ljubljana to Bohinj
Leave Ljubljana's cafés, bridges and city streets behind and around 80 kilometres later you are in a completely different Slovenia: Lake Bohinj, alpine villages and the mountains of Triglav National Park.
Getting from Ljubljana to Bohinj is actually quite straightforward. You can use a regular bus, travel by train towards Bohinjska Bistrica, book GoOpti or another shuttle, rent a car, take a taxi or arrange a private transfer.
The right answer depends mostly on your budget, luggage, number of passengers and where exactly in Bohinj you are staying.
If you are travelling alone, have light luggage and want to keep costs low, the regular bus is difficult to beat.
Bohinj has a good daily bus connection from Ljubljana. Regular services travel through Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica and Ribčev Laz, with services continuing towards Ukanc.
Train is another real option because Bohinjska Bistrica has its own railway station.
GoOpti can also be interesting, especially for one or two passengers when a shared departure fits the schedule.
Private transfer starts making more sense when several passengers share the vehicle, you have larger luggage, or you simply want to go directly from a Ljubljana hotel to your accommodation in Bohinj.
Ways to travel from Ljubljana to Bohinj
🚌
Regular bus
For most budget travellers, this is the easiest public-transport option.
Regular buses leave Ljubljana and travel towards Bohinj via Bled, Bohinjska Bistrica and Ribčev Laz. Services continue towards Ukanc, depending on the timetable.
That means you can often reach the Lake Bohinj area without needing a complicated chain of connections.
Check the current timetable before travelling, especially outside the main tourist periods.
Usually the best budget choice🚆
Train to Bohinjska Bistrica
Bohinjska Bistrica has a railway station on the scenic Bohinj railway.
From Ljubljana, the exact railway journey depends on the timetable and can involve a connection, commonly in the direction of Jesenice.
Once you reach Bohinjska Bistrica, you can continue towards Lake Bohinj, Ribčev Laz, Stara Fužina or Ukanc by regular bus, seasonal local transport or taxi.
Train is not necessarily the fastest solution, but it can be an enjoyable part of the journey.
Good for travellers who enjoy rail🚐
GoOpti / shared shuttle
GoOpti currently offers bookable transport between Ljubljana and Bohinjska Bistrica.
For one passenger or a couple, a shared GoOpti seat can sometimes cost considerably less than reserving an entire private vehicle.
The price depends on your date, how early you book and how flexible you are with the departure time.
And compare the correct product: a shared GoOpti seat is not the same service as a private GoOpti vehicle. Private transport should be compared separately.
A rental car makes sense if Bohinj is the beginning of a larger Slovenian road trip.
It gives you freedom to combine Bohinj with Bled, Pokljuka, Kranjska Gora or the Soča Valley.
The road journey from Ljubljana is straightforward, but once you reach Bohinj remember that parking around the lake and inside the sensitive alpine area is regulated.
Use designated parking areas and check local seasonal traffic information.
Best for a wider road trip🚖
Taxi
A normal taxi can also take you from Ljubljana to Bohinj.
For a journey of this length, ask for the complete price before departure rather than relying only on the taximeter.
If you need a vehicle immediately, a Ljubljana taxi already operating in the city may be more practical than waiting for a pre-booked transfer service.
Useful for last-minute travel⭐

Taxi Legende price – Ljubljana to Bohinj
🚘 Car
from €90
For up to 4 passengers, provided all passengers and luggage fit safely and comfortably in the vehicle.
🚐 Van
from €140
For larger groups, more luggage or bulky equipment where a normal passenger car is not suitable.
The final price depends on the exact Ljubljana pickup, exact Bohinj destination, departure time, passenger count and luggage. Every final price is confirmed before booking.
Ljubljana city centre → Bohinjska Bistrica is not exactly the same journey as a pickup on the edge of Ljubljana → Ukanc.
Likewise, four people with cabin bags are not the same load as four people with four large suitcases, ski equipment or bicycles.
Where exactly in Bohinj are you going?
🏘️ Bohinjska Bistrica
The main transport centre of Bohinj, with railway station, bus connections, shops and accommodation.
🌊 Ribčev Laz
At the eastern end of Lake Bohinj, close to the famous bridge, church and many accommodation options.
🏔️ Stara Fužina
A traditional village north of the lake and a popular base for walking, cycling and mountain trips.
🚠 Ukanc
At the western end of Lake Bohinj, near Vogel and therefore farther from Ljubljana than Bohinjska Bistrica.
If you book a transfer, send the exact hotel, apartment or address rather than simply writing “Bohinj”.

More expensive than public transport
A fair comparison: bus, GoOpti or private transfer?
If one person asks us whether a private car from €90 is cheaper than a bus ticket, the answer is obviously no. 😄
The regular bus is a very good option for a solo traveller whose accommodation and timetable fit the route.
GoOpti can also be very competitive for one or two passengers when a shared ride is available at the right time.
The private-car calculation changes when three or four passengers share the price, carry several suitcases or want to travel directly from one accommodation to another.
We would rather tell you when the bus makes sense than pretend every traveller needs a taxi.
Platform booking or direct booking?
GoOpti is a platform and its journeys are operated by contractual transport partners. That model can offer very competitive shared prices.
Taxi Legende is a direct booking. Before pickup, we can confirm the driver, vehicle and registration number.
You know exactly which vehicle is coming for you.
And if you leave a wallet, phone, bag, scarf or suitcase in the car, you know who drove you and who to contact directly.
Sometimes the platform wins on price. Sometimes knowing exactly who is driving you matters more.
The Legende rule
We do not really do “Ljubljana to Bohinj right now”
“Hello, we are in Ljubljana. Can you take us to Bohinj now?”
You can ask. 😄 But Taxi Legende works mainly with pre-booked transfers.
If you need an immediate vehicle, a normal Ljubljana taxi or another available service may get you moving faster.
We prefer: “Tomorrow, 09:00, hotel in Ljubljana, 3 passengers, 2 suitcases, Bohinj.”
Then we know which vehicle to send, where to collect you and where exactly in Bohinj you are going.
Known pickup. Known vehicle. Known destination. No “now-now”.
Who are Taxi Legende?
Taxi Legende is a Ljubljana-based private transfer service working mainly by advance reservation.
We provide airport and longer-distance journeys around Slovenia and neighbouring countries.
Cars and vans are selected according to passenger count and luggage.
We are not a booking marketplace. The journey is arranged directly with us.
And no, we do not claim that a private car is always the smartest transport option. Sometimes bus, train or a shared shuttle is exactly what you should use.
Advance booking recommended · Car from €90 · Van from €140 · Final price confirmed before booking.

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
