From If your destination is Venice or further, the city centre easiest way is via Nova Gorica (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take town on the bus number 6walkable distance from Gorizia, 1, 1D (direction Dolgi most - last stopItaly) or 6B (dir.

'''Option 2: Rest From the city centre (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take the bus number 6, 1, 1D (direction Dolgi most) or 6B (dir. Notranje gorice), to bus stop Barje - North "Dolgi Most". You will be dropped off on a large parking lot right next to a motorway bridge. There is also a Bicike(lj) (Severbike rental)'''station nearby, if you prefer it to taking the bus.

Catch bus 9 to bus stop "Pot Na Rakovo Jelšo" and go straight to direction where bus went follow Cesta Dveh Cesarev street (dont turn April 2024: Unfortunately, after the reconstruction the left side where bus went after 100 metres)entrance doesn't make such a good hitchhiking spot anymore. Asphalt road will bring you to place where you can see fuel station search tiny tail to it! There Hitchhiking is shower in fuel station price 3 eur and places still possible, but stopping has became much more difficult for wild camping arounddrivers. The Barje rest stop is recommended instead, or try to get a pick from the Petrol gas pump on Tržaška cesta.

* [[User:MartinJ888|MartinJ888]] August 2022: Works very well. The door is still unlocked! Took us about 1 hour to get a ride, asking people.
*[[User:JackMcJackJack|JackMcJackJack]] August 2023: This gas station and has been demolished and people rarely stop here, avoid this place. The on ramp beside the Lidl on Pot Rdečega križa is a 20min walk away from Mestni Log bus station. Most people here are heading south, but we found a ride to Šmarje - Sap gas station after an hour.
'''Option 2: Highway entrance Barjanska cesta'''
Not many cars go in this direction, and the ones that do usually do not enter the motorway here - this on-ramp mostly serves inter-urban traffic, so you might have to wait a bit longer. From the city centre take a bus line 3 in direction of "Rudnik", and get off at the final stop. In front of you there will be the motorway entrance. Cross the street and on the side of the on-ramp road, on your left, you will see a small asphalt surface where all the cars pass, and there you can stand and hitchhike easily. Pay attention that you're hitchhiking on the highway entrance (the left turn) and not on the old road (Dolenjska cesta), which is continuing straight ahead. Drivers going to Kočevje and Ribnica use this entrance.
== Transportation ==
Ljubljana is a very walkable and cyclable city, so those two are best options to move around. I highly recommend the bike share system '''Bicike(lj)''', used daily by many locals. It costs only 1€ for a weekly subscription (and 3€ for the whole year). You can use the bikes unlimitedly 24/7, the 1st hour of every use is free. Definitely the cheapest and most comfortable option, download the BicikeLJ app for use.
Another option is taking the busses, payment is possible on the bus with a credit card - one 90 min ride costs 1.3€. In case of credit card payment changing the busses is not possible (every change will cost another 1.3€). Another option is to use the app Urbana or buying the city card.
== Sleeping ==
The best option in a walkable distance from the city centre would be park Tivoli. It is huge so you can easily find a good place to hide and set up your tent somewhere. People often drink there in the evening so it might be a good idea to sleep in or at least close to the forest, so nobody will bother you.
Edit: if you go to the forest behind Tivoli, be prepared for it is steep. Go there during daylight and plan in enough time to find a suitable spot. If you go until the bag side of the park (just before the forest starts) and go west you'll reach a little staircase out of stone. Climb it and you'll find a calm spot to spend the night
Another place is up the castle, close to the antena. Just follow the path going away from the castle entrance and it will take you to a small meadow and a small forrest. There is a bigger chance to be spotted here.
