'''Ljubljana''' is the capital of [[Slovenia]], one of the smallest and nicest capitals in [[Europe]].
=== Northeast towards [[Maribor]], [[Graz]], [[Vienna]] ([[Austria]]), [[Hungary]] ===
__TOC__
From the main street, west of the train station (Slovenska cesta, Dunajska cesta), take buses 6, 8 or 11 in direction north. Get off at the stop "Smelt", at the "World Trade Center" tower. Walk further on towards the motorway, then right after the fountain. You will see the road forking, the left lane going down to the motorway, the right lane going higher up. Stand with your sign '''in the middle''' between the two lanes. Even though it might look a bit strange, this is the most common spot and it's easy for drivers to see you and there's enough space for one car to safely stop there.
==== Fuel station and very big truck parking on highway ====
Catch bus 9 from the centre to bus the last stop , Pot na Rakovo jelso . Head away from the overpass and go straight to direction where bus went follow the highway; just after the small gas station on your left is the street Cesta dveh cesarev . Turn left and follow this residential street (dont turn until you see the left side where bus went after 100 metres)parking lot with all the trucks. There is a path at the beginning of the field, near the trees. Asphalt road Don't waste time trying to thumb a ride, you will bring you have to place where you can see fuel station search tiny tail speak to it!people directly. Many of the truckers are heading towards Trieste or into Germany/Austria.
There is a shower in fuel station price 3 eur and places for wild camping around... August 2017: Despite the incoherence of the above directions, [[User:hobo0101|hobo0101]] tried to follow them because I really want a shower. When you find yourself at the bus terminal, walk away from the overpass and the highway; shortly after the small gas station, turn left on the street mentioned above. Walk down this residential street, parallel with the highway, until you see all the trucks: that's where you need to go. There is a path near the trees through the field separating the street you're on and the truck stop. Don't bother thumbing - you must speak to everyone. hobo0101 got a ride from a trucker. Good luckfor €3.
==== Ramp on enter to highroad, very short and small place ====

Fuel station to Zagreb is on another side of highroad!!!
'** July2017
Sservice area "Barje", in direction of Zagreb. This service area is on the Ring around Ljubljana and is very well-served by a lot of long-distance drivers. To get there take bus number 1 or 1B in direction Mestni Log from the center. Go off one stop before last, called "Koprska". Continue straight (the bus takes a turn just before the stop "Koprska" - don't follow it, go straight on!) on the street Cesta v Mestni log, after 2 minutes you will cross a bridge over a small river. Continue straight and cross the motorway over the bridge, and on the left side the service area is about 500 m away. There is a golf course between you and the service area, which you can cross by climbing its fences (not too high) if the personal allows you, which hasn't always been the case. If they don't, you should take an immediate left directly after crossing the highway (you're still on the bridge at that point), descending to the guardrail. You are now between the golf course's fence and the highway, which is quite a narrow path at some points. After a few hundred metres, you'll get to the resting area. Hitchhiker [[User:Looking for Stu|Looking for Stu]] discovered that bus 1 will drop you by the side of the golf course at what appeared to be the last stop before returning to town. No problem hopping the fences and crossing the course away from the busy motorway edge.
November 2017 - Easy to get to the spot via golf course (metal gate slides open), also jumping the fence no problem. There were two of us and it was impossible to get a ride, slow traffic coming through. We asked all truck drivers but they were concerned with the border crossing. This was a Monday morning 9am we waited until 2pm. There one person that suggested we should HH from Vic being a popular spot for HHers. We couldn't really find the spot on the map, so gave it a miss. I think if you are one person this spot is okay.
==== On-ramp of the motorway at the edge of the city ====
Notice - If you are hitchhiking towards [[Novo mesto]], pay attention that you are hitchhiking on the high-way entrance (the turn left) and not on the old road, which is continuing straight ahead. If you are hitchhiking to Zagreb, pay attention to the "Crossing borders" section in the [[Slovenia]] page.
:''October 2017:'' [[User:Itsagerston|itsagerston]] tried this spot on a Sunday morning. Traffic was quite thin but after about 20 minutes of thumbing at this place, we got a direct ride to '''Zagreb'''. It should be noted that we first also tried going a bit past this point to hitch to '''Rijeka'''; one driver stopped and told us it would be a very long day taking that route, with drivers only going village to village all along the way and strongly suggested we take the longer route through Zagreb. From what I've seen, I think he was right.
==== Train to Zagreb ====
#18:35
== Sleeping == It is possible Bus to sleep in the upside part of Tivoli park which is half an hour walking from the city centre. It is not so flat terrain, but if you search well you should find nice spots, clean, safe and quiet. It is possible to sleep in ''Metelkova mesto'' (at the intersection of the street ''Metelkova'' and ''Masarykova'') on the grass between Jalla Jalla Club and Tiffany Club. It might be possible to sleep in the locker room of the train station, a policeman just comes in the morning saying "Wake up", but on occasion security people have entered and told that it's not possible to sleep there. You could also sleep near the Sava River, it's a bit far from the train station, but it's unlikely that anyone will bother you. Take bus 19/19B till the north end "Tomacevo" and then take the road that goes down and turn right, you should get out of the city and pass by some farms and there you have the river where you can even swim if you have the bravery. == Internet == There is free "Wifi Ljubljana" everywhere in the center that you can request a code for by using your mobile phone number. Foreign numbers work fine as well. Most of the coffee places also provide free wifi. Additionally, At the back of the train station, right before the tracks, there is a tourist information computer which can be used for free internet surfing by clicking in the search tab, typing what your looking for, and finding it in the results (there is no URL bar provided). You can also go to the Faculty of Arts (Slov. ''Filozofska fakulteta'' or ''Filofaks'') which is on Aškerčeva 2. There are computers on the left and right on the ground floor but there are more in the basement. They don't have a password. They also have coffee machines were you can get a coffee (kava) for eur 0.25. (Nov 2010). Computers are Linux based and just for web browsing, but on every floor at the end of the long hallway. Faculty is closed on Sundays, possibly also during the summer recess (2nd half of July, August) (Jun 2017). Another option is the Slovene National and University Library (Slov. abbr. ''NUK''), Turjaška ulica 1, also a prominent landmark so every local/guide should know where it is. Computers are free to access and use on the ground floor, to the left and right of the grand staircase. Windows based with a web browser and also an Office suite. Open Mon-Fri 8.00-20.00, Sat 9.00-13.00, Sun closed, possible shorter opening times during summer. There is also a McD at the train station and in the city centre that as always provides free-Wifi. == Eating == There is a market from Monday to Saturday at southern bank of river (vodnikov trg). It closes between 16:00 and 17:00 and there is always a lot of fruit and vegetables after the vendors. >> better check Trashwiki ! There is "Pizza Burek" which is a speciality from there, and a local made us taste the best seller in town, located in the Prazakova Ulica near the Bavarski Dvor bus station, for eur 2.30, it not the cheapest, but it's really really good. It's quarter a pizza with mushrooms, and lot of things in it, but you should definitely try it ! ''Note: The place is called Olimpia burek, if you are asking the locals.'' ''Note 2: You can buy burek almost anywhere, in special fast food joints and almost every bakery (pekarna). It's questionable which is "the best seller in town".'' =Zagreb = Public Bicycles ==
