Apps and platforms that will make your trip easier
Urbana is the app you will need to use the public transport in Ljubljana. You can use it on the buses and also rent a public bike at any Bicikelj station. It’s important to note that you cannot pay for the bus ticket to the driver, the only options are with an Urbana card or app, or with a credit card (via approximation). The app can also be useful for checking parking around Ljubljana.
This is the app you will need to easily pay for parking anywhere in Slovenia (and even some places outside of Slovenia like Trieste, for example). With Easy Park, you can easily pay for street parking per hour and top it up if you need to extend your stay, even if you are far away from the car. Since most public parking here in Slovenia is charged by the hour with parking meters, this app can come in handy when exploring.
Are you considering taking a tour instead of exploring the country alone? GetYourGuide will be your best friend. In the app, you will find some of the best tours in the country. They make it super easy for you to book anything and manage your bookings. You can use the website directly but we find it very practical to have the app to keep an eye on times and messages, in case the guide needs to share any contact, etc.
