- Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €35 - €45. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals and confirm the approximate fare before getting in. Uber and Bolt operate and typically quote a fixed price in the app. Refuse drivers who approach you inside the terminal without a meter or fixed quote.
- Best alternative: GoOpti shuttle or public bus line to the main bus station near the centre (€4.10)
- Buy your ticket before boarding (from Urbana kiosks, machines, or the Urbana app) and validate it on the bus validator as you enter. Tickets are not sold by the driver on Ljubljana urban buses. Fine without a valid ticket: €40.
- Tipping around 10% is appreciated in restaurants and cafes but not mandatory. Rounding up the bill is common. Taxi tipping is not expected.
- Cover or service charges are not a standard practice in Ljubljana. Some tourist-heavy places in the old town add a small cover charge, so check the menu for a line item before ordering. Menus should show prices, and if you are not shown one, ask.
- Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion when paying by card. Prefer ATMs attached to bank branches; independent machines in tourist areas often carry higher fees. Cards are widely accepted in shops, restaurants, and hotels.
