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.  === Northeast Northwest towards [[MariborKranj]], [[AustriaBled]] (, [[GrazVillach]], [[ViennaSalzburg]] ([[Austria]]), [[HungaryMunich]] ([[Germany]]) {{E|61}} ===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.

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 Croatian coast for hollidays. 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 hitchiking 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).

From the city centre (Dunajska cesta, Slovenska cesta) take the bus number 6, 1, 1D (direction Dolgi most - last stop) or 6B (dir. Notranje gorice), to bus stop "Dolgi Most". You will be dropped off on a large parking lot right next to a motorway bridge. There is also a Bicike(lj) (bike rental) station nearby, if you prefer it to taking the bus. On the opposite side of the road, there is a busy motorway entrance with a great hitchhiking spot where cars can easily see you and stop safely. Slovenians use this ramp to go to the seaside, so waiting times should not be too long. If your destination is [[Venice]] or further, the easiest way is via Nova Gorica(town on the walkable distance from Gorizia, Ita): use sign GO and ask to be dropped at the service area on the border. For [[Trieste]] it doesn't work well with TS sign - best option might be to use [[Koper|KP]] sign and then ask the driver to drop you off at Kozina exit (go right 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]], take also rides going to [[Postojna]] or further west. Get out at Postojna exit and from there walk across the highway from there (use the bridge). There is a good spot to hitchike hitchhike southwards just few hundred meters after the bridge.

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 meters, 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 center (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 hitchiking 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- €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.

I tried one night in the locker room of the train station with a friend, a policeman just come in the morning saying "Wake up", but the next night as we were unpacking our stuffs, some security guys and told that we can't sleep there.You could also sleep near the Sava River, it's a bit far from the train station, but I think nobody 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 by some farms and there you have the river where you can even swim if you have the bravery.'Option 3: Highway entrance Rudnik'''
