Direction of Ljubljana, Celje and Italy

From the Old City, walk to the bridge which leads to the Europark shopping mall, and continue straight, passing the shopping mall. (The street is called Titova cesta.) Continue walking in this street, passing the first petrol station on your right, till you reach the second petrol station. You can either ask drivers in the Petrol station to give you a lift, or you can hitchike from the bus station just before the Petrol station. From here it is about 1 km till the Highway entrance.

Direction of Graz, Austria, Murska Sobota, Hungary

From the main train station (Partizanska cesta) continue walking south for about 50m, till you reach a junction. (Ahead of you is the Bus station.) Turn left to Meljsa cesta, and go straight passing under the bridge and crossing the first junction. After a while you will see on your left the Highway on-ramp in direction of Austria, stand on the right side and hitchhike, preferably with a sign. From here drivers go to either Austria, or continue on the northern road towards Lenart, Murska Sobota and Hungary.

Hitching in

From Ljubljana

From the main street, West of the Train station (Dunajska Cesta) take buses 6, 8 or 10 in direction of North.
