Ljubljana city is circled by a highway ring from where it's pretty easy to get to the centre. Simply follow the parking signs for convenient places to leave your car near the city centre. Once in the city, it's best to walk the short distances rather than drive through the heavy traffic and narrow street.
Guids to Slovenia
Useful guides to Slovenia, a tiny but beautiful corner of Europe tucked between Austria, Italy and Croatia. The reading public covers all the main attractions in enough detail to make informed decisions about visiting them and his general notes on history, culture, grub etc. are illuminating and interesting.
Cycling around Lake Bled:
moving around by bike can be one of the best ways of acquainting oneself with a new place. Bled is very convenient for cycling - be it for. There are no special lanes for cycling in Bled or its vicinity, however since traffic is light, most roads can be used. Local roads between villages around Bled are suitable for short cycling trips and a dense network of forest roads on Jelovica, Pokljuka and Mežakla can satisfy even the most demanding mountain cyclist. For less demanding cycling, we suggest a trip through the valley of Radovna or you may drive to Pokljuka where the plateau offers pleasant cycling in the cool shadow of the pine forests. Please note that cycling off - road or off - track is not allowed anywhere in Slovenia. You can rent bicycles at several agencies in Bled and you can also hire a guide. Some possible bicycle routes are indicated in Bled - A Tourist Map (1:30000) - look for the symbol of a bicycle in silhouette.
