'''Ljubljana''' is the capital of [[Slovenia]], one of the smallest and nicest capitals in [[Europe]].
==Hitching Out==
Hitchiking out of Ljubljana is relatively easy, in all directions, Standing on the ''Autostrada'' on-ramp.
===North towards [[Maribor]], [[Austria]]===
From the main street, West of the Train station (Dunajska Cesta) take buses 6, 8 or 10 in direction of North. Get off in the station "Smelt", 15 minutes later, when you see the "World Trade Center" building. Ahead of you, you will see the Autostrada. On the first turn to the right, go into the highway entry and stand on the side with your sign.
== North-West towards Kranj, Villach (Austria) ==Direction north-west there is the motorway towards [[Kranj]] (german: ''[[Krainburg]]'') 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 coast for holydays. This motorway (that is still just an ordinary road in some parts where they are about to parlay it to a true motorway) starts outside the city of Ljubljana. There is a big road going off from the circle-road/-motorway leaving the city in the direction north-west. On this road there is also a big petrol station, that is open 24 hours a day where one can ask people. Somewhat out of town on a crossroad the motorway starts to the right. Just before that right after a bus stop there is a good possibility to stand. ===South towards [[Koper]], [[Rijeka]], [[Italy]]===
From the city center (Dunajska cesta, Kongresni trg) take bus number 6 in direction south, till the last station (Dolgi most). Get out, and on your left side you will side the entry lane into the autostrada. There will also be an entry to a parking of a small house, stand on the side there with your sign (you will see where everybody else stands...).
===South-East towards [[Novo Mesto]], [[Zagreb]]===
From the city center (Slovenska Cesta, station "Pošta") Take Bus line 3 in direction of "Rudnik" (South), and get off in the last station. In front of you there will be the High-way 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 hitchike easily.
Notice - If you are hitchiking towards [[Novo Mesto]], pay attention that you are hitchiking on the high-way entrance (the turn left) and not on the old road, which is continuing straight ahead. If you are Hitchiking to Zagreb, pay attention to the "Crossing borders" section in the [[Slovenia]] Page.
