How to Travel from Portorož
Portorož is one of Slovenia's main seaside resorts and a common starting point for onward travel to Ljubljana, Ljubljana Airport, the Alps, Croatia and Italy.
From Portorož you can continue by bus, shared shuttle, rental car, local taxi or pre-booked private transfer.
There is no railway station directly in Portorož, so train journeys require a road connection first.
The best option depends on your destination, budget, departure time, passenger count and luggage.
A rental car works well if you plan to explore the Slovenian coast, Karst, Istria or several destinations in one trip.
Check cross-border conditions before driving into Croatia or Italy.
Best for multi-stop travel🚕
Local taxi
For short journeys around Portorož, Piran, Lucija, Izola or nearby coastal areas, a local taxi is normally the sensible choice.
Taxi Legende is based in Ljubljana, so bringing one of our vehicles to Portorož for a five-kilometre journey would make little sense.
Best for short local rides⭐
Taxi Legende private transfer
Taxi Legende focuses on pre-booked longer-distance transfers from Portorož.
Before pickup, the route, price, car or van and pickup details are agreed.
You can know the driver, vehicle and registration number before pickup.

From Portorož to Bled, Bohinj & the Alps
🏔️ Lake Bled
Bled is one of the most common coast-to-Alps destinations.
Public transport may involve Ljubljana or another connection, while a private vehicle travels directly.
🌲 Bohinj
Bohinj is farther into the Julian Alps and the exact destination matters: Bohinjska Bistrica, Ribčev Laz, Stara Fužina and Ukanc are not the same pickup point.
🎿 Kranjska Gora
For ski holidays, tell the transport provider about skis, snowboards and large luggage before booking.
🚐 Car or van?
A car is suitable for smaller groups with normal luggage.
A van may be required for larger groups, multiple suitcases or sports equipment.

✈️ Ljubljana Airport · LJU
Slovenia's main international airport at Brnik.

Van / minivan transport is also available. The final van price depends on destination, passenger count, luggage and equipment. The final total is confirmed before booking.
Why can we require 50% in advance?
50% advance payment may be required for longer Portorož pickups
Taxi Legende is based in Ljubljana.
For a transfer starting in Portorož, a driver may need to travel from Ljubljana to the coast specifically for your booking before the passenger journey even begins.
For this reason, for first-time customers on longer routes we may require 50% of the agreed price in advance.
If required, we send a payment link after the journey, vehicle and final price have been agreed.
The advance is part of the total price, not an additional fee.
The remaining amount can normally be paid in the vehicle by cash or card, unless another arrangement is agreed.
The deposit reserves the vehicle. It does not magically make the transfer 50% more expensive. 😄
Leaving Portorož for an early flight?
For an airport departure, the flight time matters more than the kilometre count.
Tell us:
departure airport
flight number
scheduled departure time
Portorož pickup address or hotel
passengers
luggage
Summer motorway traffic between the coast and central Slovenia can be significantly heavier than normal.
Airlines rarely delay departure because the motorway was busy. Plan backwards from the flight.
The Legende rule
Need a car from Portorož “right now”?
“Hello, we checked out. We need Ljubljana Airport now.”
Hotel finished. Suitcases downstairs. Flight presumably not a recent surprise. 😄
Taxi Legende works mainly with advance-booked longer transfers.
Because we are Ljubljana-based, we cannot promise that a vehicle will appear in Portorož in ten minutes.
For a planned transfer, send us the details early enough and we can confirm the car or van, driver and final price.
Known route. Known driver. Known vehicle. No coastal “now-now”.
Who are Taxi Legende?
Taxi Legende is a Ljubljana-based private transfer service working mainly by advance reservation.
We provide airport, long-distance and international transfers around Slovenia and neighbouring countries.
Cars and vans are selected according to passenger count, luggage and route.
Before pickup, you can know which vehicle is coming, the registration number and who the driver is.
We are not a booking marketplace. The transfer is arranged directly with us.
If you later discover that a phone, wallet, bag, jacket or suitcase stayed in the car, you know who to contact.
And if a local taxi, bus or shared shuttle makes more sense, we have no problem saying so.
Advance booking required · Cars and vans available · 50% advance may be required for first-time customers on longer routes.

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.
