cultural and tourism offerings
of Ljubljana. The new card
system will include travel on
city buses, rides on Ljubljana’s
tourist train, funicular rides to
Ljubljana Castle, admission

galleries and museum,

and the Volčji Potok Arboretum,

Ljubljana Bicycle
Riding a bicycle is one of
the most pleasant ways of
getting around Ljubljana. For
this reason, Ljubljana Tourism
has created a project entitled
Ljubljana Bicycle, as part
of which bicycles are made
available for hire from the
beginning of April to the end
of October at eight different
city locations, including the
Slovenian Tourist Information
Centre and certain hotels.
Bicycle hire charges are €1.00
for an up to two-hour hire
period and €5.00 for a full day’s
hire. Guided bicycle tours can
be arranged for a minimum of
two people. Including some of
the more distant city locations,
these tours allow visitors to
explore more of the city’s
interesting destinations than
they would on foot.
