 === Northeast towards [[Maribor]], [[Graz]], [[Vienna]] ([[Austria]]), [[Hungary]] {{E|57}} === '''Option 1: World trade center, Recommended''' From the center (Slovenska Cesta, Dunajska Cesta), take a bus number 6 (direction Črnuče), 8 (dir. Brnčičeva) or 11 (dir. Ježica) and get off at the stop "Smelt", close to the WTC tower. Walk a bit further on towards the motorway and turn right at the crossroads. 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, or on the pavement next to the parking place entrance. Even though the first option 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. '''Option 2: Letališka''' Take bus no 27 towards "Letaliska" and get out at "Jarše". Continue following "Šmartinska cesta" about 400 meters and turn right from the traffic lights. There is a bus stop right after. Most of the cars passing now are going towards the highway. You can also take bus no 2 to "Nove Jarše" from Southern part of Slovenska cesta. The last stop is the mentioned hitchhiking spot.  === Northwest towards [[Kranj]], [[Bled]], [[Villach]], [[Salzburg]] ([[Austria]]), [[Munich]] ([[Germany]]) {{E|61}} === 

Direction north-west there is the motorway E61/A2 towards [[Kranj]] through the Karawanken Tunnel (Slovenian: ''Predor Karavanke'') or over the pass over the border to [[Villach]] (slov.: ''Beljak'') in [[Austria]] and further on on the Tauern-motorway to [[Salzburg]] and over to [[Germany]]. It is the way that is used by most of those numerous Germans that go to the [[Croatia]]n Croatian coast for holidayshollidays.

This motorway E61/A2 starts from the Ljubljana bypass. The best way to join this motorway is from the street Celovška cesta, at the bus stop Šentvid(stand in the corner before the bus stop!!). You can get Get there easily by taking bus number 1(direction Vižmarje), 25(dir. Medvode), or 8 (dir. Gameljne) from the city centre in direction of Vižmarje. You can hitchhike at the stop, but make sure you have a sign. Even better spot is a tunnel about 500 m ahead. In that tunnel there is an extra lane for cars to stop and you can catch cars going from 3 different directions into the tunnel, unlike the bus stop, where you only cover one direction. [[File:Help Edit.jpeg|right|thumb|334px|Hitchhiking spot right after the tunnel, direction : Austria]] To get there keep walking away from the centre and turn right at the traffic light where the cars leave the street and join the highway. The signs are visible from the stop. After you turned right you should see the tunnel. It is good to start at the end because cars have a lot of time to see you. If people who pick you up don't go as far as you like, you can get a lift as far as the first "Petrol" gas station on the highway (17km away) or the former toll station Torovo and keep hitchhiking there. There is also a petrol station at the Radovljica-exit (right before Bled) which is useful for getting into Austria. Another option is to get dropped at ~25km from Šentvid, there's a great hitchhiking spot [https://goo.gl/maps/d4kMoNHzbEYPRT9d7 here] on a ramp where there's enough room for a car to stop (GPS 46.267470, 14.339623).

Note from [[User:Wincak|Wincak]] '''Option 1:Rest stop Barje - North (Avtocestno počivališče Barje - Sever)'''The tunnel is already after  Catch bus 1 to bus stop "Tbilisijska", continue walking in the same direction and turn left at the highway signroundabout. Hitchhiking on Follow the road for a few more minutes and cross the meadow to reach the bus rest stop seems to be a better idea as most . Alot of the cars go and trucks are going to Italy from this direction anyway. Alsohere, if you try easy to get a ride west. Just ask people at the gas station.There is a shower in fuel station for 3 eur and places for wild camping around. If your destination is Venice or further, the easiest way is via Nova Gorica (town on the walkable distance from Gorizia, Italy): use sign GO and ask to be dropped at the service area on the end of border. For Trieste it doesn't work well with TS sign - best option might be to use Koper sign and then ask the tunnel, driver to drop you off at Kozina exit (go through itright in the crossroads after toll booths). It's only 3 km from the border and on the main Rijeka-Trieste road. If your destination is Rijeka, not aroundtake also rides going to Postojna or further west. Get out at Postojna exit and walk across the highway from there (use the bridge). There is a fencegood spot to hitchhike southwards just few hundred meters after the bridge. '''Option 2: Highway entrance Dolgi Most'''

If your destination is [[Venice]] From the city centre (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take the bus number 6, 1, 1D (direction Dolgi most) or further6B (dir. Notranje gorice), the easiest way is via Nova Gorica: use sign GO and ask to bus stop "Dolgi Most". You will be dropped at the service area off on the bordera large parking lot right next to a motorway bridge. For [[Trieste]] There is also a Bicike(lj) (bike rental) station nearby, if you prefer it doesn't work well with TS sign - best option might be to use [[Koper|KP]] sign and then ask taking the driver to drop you off at Kozina exit (go right in the crossroads after toll booths)bus. It's only 3 km from On the border and on opposite side of the main Rijeka-Trieste road, there is a busy motorway entrance with a great hitchhiking spot where cars can easily see you and stop safely.

If your destination is [[Rijeka]]April 2024: Unfortunately, take also rides going to [[Postojna]] or further west. Get out at Postojna exit and from there walk across after the highway (use reconstruction the bridge). There is entrance doesn't make such a good hitchhiking spot anymore. Hitchhiking is still possible, but stopping has became much more difficult for drivers. The Barje rest stop is recommended instead, or try to hitchhike southwards just few hundred meters after get a pick from the bridgePetrol gas pump on Tržaška cesta.

Hitchhiking in this direction seems to be more difficult comparing to other directionNear the crossing of streets: "Pot Na Rakovo Jelšo" and "Barjanska Cesta" there is a fuel station with a lot of cars heading towards Koper. You have two options to follow this route:

1. You can also try your luck at the service area "Barje"=== Southeast towards [[Novo mesto]], 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 StuCroatia]] 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. ) {{Aat|2. You can go to the on-ramp of the motorway at the edge of the city. 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 lot of time. From the city centre (Slovenska cesta, bus stop "Pošta") take bus line 3 in direction of "Rudnik" (south), and get off at the final stop. In front of you there will be the motorway entrance, which will be a turn left. 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.}} ===

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 aheadFile:Hhspottowardszagreb. If you are hitchhiking to jpg|right|thumb|334px|Hitchhiking spot for direction: Zagreb, pay attention to the "Crossing borders" section in the [[Slovenia]] page.

If you really cannot get a lift out, the train is fairly cheap- eur 16.00 one-way to Zagreb and lasts 2.5 hours. Trains are scheduled at:#06:35 #08'''Option 1:15 Rest stop Barje - this train can take you as far as Belgrade.#14:45#18:35South (Jug)'''

== Sleeping ==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 a bus number 1 or 1B in direction of "Dolgi most" from the center. Get off the bus on the stop "Mestni Log" and walk back in the direction of the highway. When you reach the overpass look for a very small and steep pathway on your right, starting next to the overpass. Descend down to the fence, turn right and walk a few metres untill you reach an unlocked door. When you're on the other side of the fence, you should already be able to see the rest stop. Follow the pathway for another 100 m or so and there you are. There is a shower for 3€ and places for wildcamping around. * [[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.

It is possible Catch bus 9 in direction of "Barje" from the center or the train station and exit on the final stop "Barje". You can hitchhike next to sleep in ''Metelkova mesto'' (at the intersection of parking lot or walk down the "barjanska" street ''Metelkova'' and try to find a better place. That''Masarykova'') on s the entrance people from Ljubljana would use to enter the grass between Jalla Jalla Club and Tiffany Clubhighway going south, so this spot might be less suitable for long distance picks, but perfect to get you to Novo Mesto.

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.''Option 3: Highway entrance Rudnik'''

You could also sleep near Not many cars go in this direction, and the ones that do usually do not enter the Sava Rivermotorway here - this on-ramp mostly serves inter-urban traffic, it's so you might have to wait a bit far from longer. From the train stationcity centre take a bus line 3 in direction of "Rudnik", but it's unlikely that anyone and get off at the final stop. In front of you there will bother yoube the motorway entrance. Take bus 19/19B till Cross the north end "Tomacevo" street and then take on the side of the on-ramp road that goes down and turn right, on your left, you should get out of will see a small asphalt surface where all the city and cars pass by some farms , and there you have the river where you can even swim if stand and hitchhike easily. Pay attention that you have 're hitchhiking on the highway entrance (the left turn) and not on the braveryold road (Dolenjska cesta), which is continuing straight ahead. Drivers going to Kočevje and Ribnica use this entrance.

== Internet Transportation ==Internet cafes are quite expensive in Ljubljana (about eur 4/hr). You can surf for free at KiberPipa, a cyber centre located at Kersnikova 6. You can also surf for free using computer at the student info centre, located next to Preseren square, on Trubarjeva ulica. There is also a club called KMŠ on Trzaska street that has free internet access and wi-fi (you just have to order coffee).

FABRKA KLUB Poljanska street 9Ljubljana is a very walkable and cyclable city, close so those two are best options to Dragons bridge - 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 internet access . Definitely the cheapest and WiFi (you just have to order coffee)most comfortable option, download the BicikeLJ app for use.KAMERA KLUB Kolodvorska street 6Another option is taking the busses, close to railway station payment is possible on the bus with a credit card - free internet access and WiFi one 90 min ride costs 1.3€. In case of credit card payment changing the busses is not possible (you just have every change will cost another 1.3€). Another option is to order coffee)use the app Urbana or buying the city card.

You The best option in a walkable distance from the city centre would be park Tivoli. It is huge so you can also go easily find a good place to the Faculty of Arts which is on Aškerčeva 2hide and set up your tent somewhere. There are computers on the left and right on the ground floor but People often drink there are more in the basement. They don't have evening so it might be a password. They also have coffee machines were good idea to sleep in or at least close to the forest, so nobody will bother you can get a coffee (kava) for eur 0.25. (Nov 2010)

There Edit: if you go to the forest behind Tivoli, be prepared for it is also steep. Go there during daylight and plan in enough time to find a McD at suitable spot. If you go until the train station bag side of the park (just before the forest starts) and in go west you'll reach a little staircase out of stone. Climb it and you'll find a calm spot to spend the city centre that as always provides Free-Wifi.night

'''Don't worry about InternetAnother place is up the castle, there 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 free "Wifi Ljubljana" everywhere in the center (update Auga bigger chance to be spotted here.2014)'''
