Prices in Slovenia are rather high and you have to be aware of this, especially in the attractive region, where there are a bit more tourists. Every place that attracts visitors has slightly higher prices than the rest of the country. In Slovenia, it will definitely be the coast, the capital of Ljubljana, and of course around Lake Bled.
Fuel and public transport prices in Slovenia
If you are traveling around Slovenia, we will definitely be interested in the price of fuel in this country:
- gasoline 95 1.29 euro per liter
- gasoline 98 1.42 euro per liter
- LPG 0.67 euro per liter
- diesel fuel 1.23 euro per liter
To this must always be added the cost of a vignette, which will allow you to move on motorways and expressways in Slovenia.
The shortest, i.e. weekly vignette costs 15 euro, for a car up to 3.5 tonnes.
As for public transport, for example, in Ljubljana it looks like you have to buy a city card, which you charge with the selected amount and pay for each ride separately. This amount is deducted from this card. There is no such thing as a daily or weekly ticket. For example, a 90-minute change ticket in two zones costs 1.60 euro. However, the transfer from the airport to the center of the Slovenian capital will cost us less than 5 euro.
Intercity transport takes place in Slovenia by rail or bus.
An interesting fact is that the prices of tickets for these two types of communication are about the same level. For example, for a train ride from Ljubljana to Bled you will pay 6.60 euro, while the same route only by bus will cost you a little over 7 euro for a ticket. In turn, from the capital of Slovenia to the city of Maribor, the cost of traveling by bus will cost us 13 euro, and by rail 9.60 euro.
