The easiest way to come to Lasko is by train. Lasko lies on railway line from Maribor to Zidani Most (and further to Ljubljana or Zagreb). It takes about 1.25 hours from Ljubljana to Lasko by train. Trains operate frequently. International trains usually don't stop at Lasko so get out at Celje (11 km away) and take local bus or train (10-15 min).
Lasko can be reached by taxi from Celje and taxi shouldn't be too expensive.
There is local bus line Celje - Lasko - Rimske Toplice - Hrastnik.
