Arriving to Ljubljana, Slovenia

Aeroplane

You will arrive to Brnik/Jože Pučnik Airport. Ljubljana airport is situated some 20 km North of Ljubljana in the

direction of city Kranj. The airport is very small, so it is impossible to get lost.

There are hourly regular bus lines from and to Airport/Ljubljana. The bus stops in front of the main Exit/Entrance

of the airport building and will take you to the main BUS station (cca. 50 minutes). Main Bus station is the last

stop. You cannot miss it. It costs 4.10€ and you can buy it on the bus from the driver.

Getting around Ljubljana (and to the hostel)

https://www.visitljubljana.com/en/visitors/travel-information/

Ljubljana city centre is quite small, and everything is reachable on foot. The old town is closed for all traffic. The

main road, Slovenska (from Bavarski dvor to the centre is allowed only for public buses). There is 10 minutes’ walk

from hostel to the centre.

Public bus transport

The only public transport in Ljubljana are buses. Most of them (the important ones) lead to Bavarski dvor station.

The bus to the hostel is Bus No. 6 (direction Dolgi most is written on the display), going south towards City Centre,

after a few stops, the bus turns right (passing Faculty of Arts). After five (Tobačna) or six stops (Hajdrihova) get off

and walk to the Hostel Six points.

We will take the same bus No. 6 to the field research.

To ride the bus, URBANA city card is obligatory (no cash or credit card is accepted on the bus). You can pay your

fare on a LPP bus by an Urbana card with preloaded credit.

You can enter the bus only at the driver’s gate. There is a green device on the vertical handle. You pay your fee by

pressing the card to the device. You will hear a triple beep when your money is successfully withdrawn.

Changing buses within 90 minutes is free, but you still have to validate Urbana.

One fare is 1,3 €.

You will need URBANA and at least 2 rides credit (2,6 €) for first day of field research. The rest is up to you

(depends on using on the day of arrival and departure).

larger bus stops (Bavarski dvor also). You can load credit on your Urbana card wherever Urbana cards are sold.

some restrictions:

– TVR.

– Facial masks in public indoor places (shops, hotels, faculty, public transport etc.).

– Recommended hands disinfection.

What do I need (apart from basic things) to know/bring for the workshop in Slovenia?

– Some proof that you are TVR (Tested or Vaccinated or Recovered). It is your responsibility. If checked

by inspection and you do not have it, you can receive a substantial fine (400-4000 €).

– Proper field clothes and shoes for field research.

– There are really lot of mosquitoes in Slovenia this year so bring mosquito repellent. The problem is not in

Ljubljana but at field research.

– Tics are possibly infected with Lyme disease (borreliosis) and meningoencephalitis. It is strongly

recommended to apply tick repellent when going to the field research.

– The weather will be possibly warm to hot (especially on the Wednesday field research). Bring sunscreen

cream, a hat or cap, and additional water. You can drink water from the tap everywhere (unless especially

notified), so just pour it in flask or bottle at the hostel.

– If you forget anything, you can find all the shops in the centre or near the hostel.
