The main road through the country from the capital to the Italian border in the top corner with Italy is classed as a motorway.
This is despite the fact it is a normal two lane road in places. Do not cycle on it on any account or you will be picked up by the highway patrol and heavily fined. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

It's always the best way if you can have your own transport while travelling. If you have a guide driving you around is 10 times better !
Get a good road map & start planning your itineraries around Slovenia.
Make sure you know the road rules, the do's & don't while travelling/driving in Slovenia.
The best scale is of 1:250,000
1 inch equals 3.95 Miles
and 1 inch equals 6.41 km.
A map at a scale of 1:250,000 scale would serve as a good road map with major roads and some secondary roads.

Major international airlines serve Ljubljana's Brnik airport (LJU), which is 15 mi/25 km northwest of town. Those bound for the Slovene Riviera can fly to Trieste, Italy, and drive to Portoroz. Excellent rail service connects Slovenia with nearby Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. Escorted and hosted tours, rental cars, buses and trains are all good options for seeing the country. Renting a car is very easy (the major corporations are well represented), and the highway system, for the most part, is excellent. Railway buffs will want to take the 65-mi/110-km route from Jesenice to Nova Gorica, which cuts through the Alps and runs along the scenic Soca River. Within the cities, there's good bus and taxi service. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Mom never told me it's dangerous to drink and drive... I had to learn it "the hard" way ;)
But on more serious note...the allowed alcohol limit (for a driver) in your blood is 0.5 promile.
Soon that will be cut down to 0.2 promile.
Just to be on the safe side, don't drink alcohol if you know you're going to drive later. Theme: Car/Motor Home

Once you are in Bled, you can drive further to lake Bohinj, take the cable car up to Vrsic - the cable car leaves every 30 minutes. Amazing views over this stunning glacier lake towards the highest peak Triglav, have a stroll up there, in March it will probably still be full of skiers, maybe have a meal at "Merjasec".
Back from Bohinj, or coming from Bled - between these two places there's a small town Bohinjska Bistrica where the train station is situated - one of the most amazing train rides I've ever had begins here, make sure you check the timetable:
http://www.slo-zeleznice.si/en/inland_transport/auto_train/<br /> - you drive up on a car-train, sit in your car and enjoy the ride: first through a tunnel dug through the mountain
then enjoy the ride along beautiful river canyon towards Most na Soci, from where you can visit:
Kobarid - a lovely town famous for it's museum dedicated to Isonzo Front battles of WW1, very inteersting, good guided tours, doesn't take long to complete and gives an abundance of info about this famous and tragic battle(s)
there are two great restaurants on the main square:
Kotlar - http://kotlar.si/english.html
and Topli Val
Drive along Soca river, stop to have a closer look at it's amazing emerald waters. Maybe if you wish to have a true experience of this area visit Lepena village and stay at Pristava farm-resort.

From Kobarid, you can drive towards Italy
or through famous wine-growing region of Vipava (try Zelen, it is something truly special!) Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

You must be at least 18 years old and carrying a full UK drivers licence. If your licence is still the old style (with no photo) you will need to have your passport to hand for I.D back-up. You should have your vehicle registration documents with you and if you are not the registered owneer you should also carry a letter from them giving you permission. Adequate insurance is a must and a green card is handy.
Your lights must be on regardless of whether it is day or night.
The speed limits are : Urban 50kph Open road 90kph Dual-carriageways 100kph Expressways 130kph unless you are a car towing a caravan when you are restricted (I think to 80kph - but check it).
Good & easy road system - many places you can choose between the scenic and the direct route - some direct routes still benig built.
Some tolls but they are inexpensive. Theme: Car/Motor Home

If ever you find yourself stuck in slovenia, with no money for a bus or train and no way to get where you want to go, all you need to is stand on a roadside with your arm, and thumb extended. Slovenians seem very eager to help out hitch-hikers. Every Slovenian I met was helpful and never had i to wait more than about 10minutes to get picked up, obviously being devilishly good looking helped too. Anyway, from my experiences, Slovenians WILL pick you up if you do decide to hitch, and the chances are they'll be friendly, enjoyable to talk to and might even buy you some cocka and a choco banana!

Luckily the trail goes straight, since you cannot see much from within!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
