Airport Overview

Ljubljana Airport, or Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport, is Slovenia’s international airport. Located north of the capital city Ljubljana, it’s the country’s busiest airport, serving around 1.5 million passengers per year.

A small, neat and clean terminal building, Ljubljana is attractive and pleasant to use. As with most airports, during busier times there may be delays and long queues; however, most of the time, checking in and boarding is generally quick and painless. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Although offering only a small assortment of shops and restaurants, Ljubljana Airport has a marvellous Visitor’s Terrace from which passengers can watch planes taking off and landing, as well as some beautiful artworks in the passenger terminal.

Terminal Transfer

Both arrivals and departures are located in one small terminal.

Open-air bays cost €1.90 for an hour, €5 for four to eight hours and €10 per day up to four days, after which there is a charge of €5 for each additional day. By contrast, multi-storey parking (just in front of the passenger terminal) charges are €2.20 for one hour, €6.50 for four to eight hours and €13.10 per day up to four days, with a maximum fee of €6.50 per day thereafter.
