=== 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 motorway 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 (slovenianSlovenian: ''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 holidays.
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.
Hitchhiking in this direction seems to be more difficult comparing to other direction. You have three options to follow this route:
1. Take the expensive train to [[Trebnje]] (4.2E, direction Novo Mesto), from which you can easily hitchhike to Zagreb since the road passes in the middle of the village, and there is no highway motorway yet in this part. 2. You can also try your luck at the Resting area Barje, in direction of Zagreb. This service area is on the Ring around Ljubljana. To get there take bus number 1 or 1B in direction Mestni Log from the center. Go off one station before, last, called Koprska. Continue straight on the street Cesta v mestni log, after 2 minutes you will cross a bridge over a small river. Continue straight and cross the highway over the bridge, and on the other side go down the hill into the highway itself, turn right and walk for 5 minutes till you get to the resting area.

3. You can go to the onramp on-ramp of the highway motorway at the edge of the city. Not many cars go in this direction, and the ones that do usually do not enter from the following onramp on-ramp - this onramp on-ramp mostly serves inter-urban traffic, so you might have to wait a lot of time. 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 hitchhike easily.
Notice - If you are hitchiking hitchhiking towards [[Novo Mesto]], pay attention that you are hitchiking hitchhiking 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.
== Sleeping ==
It is possible to sleep in the upside part of Tivoli park wich which is half an hour walking from the center of the city. It's not realy really a flat ground but if you search well you should find nice spots, clean, safe and quiet.
==Internet==
Internet cafes are quite expensive in Ljubljana (~€4/hr). You can surf for free at KiberPipa, a cyber center located at Kersnikova 6. You can also surf for free using computer at the student info center, located next to Preseren square, on Trubarjeva ulica.
