Transport scams to know ⚠️
Mandatory motorway vignette
A vignette (e-vinjeta) is essential on the motorways, including for rentals.
Tip :Check that it's included in the rental, otherwise buy it online or at a station.
Parking in Bled
Paid and limited parking around the lake in high season.
Tip :Park in the designated car parks and come early in the morning.
Practical tips
- Buy the motorway vignette before driving (mandatory).
- The bus is often faster and more direct than the train to Bled.
- Ljubljana's centre is entirely pedestrianized: leave the car on the outskirts.
