About To Ljubljana & Lake Bled

Ljubljana is only about 140 km from Zagreb. Direct trains run several times a day and take a little over two hours, and buses run often; since Croatia joined Schengen in 2023 there are no routine border checks. From Ljubljana, Lake Bled, the Julian Alps, the Postojna caves and Piran are all easy day trips. Check current timetables before you travel. Our sister guide, the ULTIMATE Ljubljana City Guide, covers the city and Slovenia’s highlights.
