Travel
by airplane
Participants arriving by airplane are strongly advised to book
their final destination to Ljubljana Airport at Brnik. This airport
is connected by frequent flights to all major European airports.
Brnik airport is 20 km away from Ljubljana city center and
can be reached by busses running at the time intervals of one
hour. Bus stop is at the front gate of the airport and its final
stop is at the Ljubljana main railway and bus station (these two
are together). The bus drive takes about 45 minutes. Tickets are
obtained at the driver and have to be paid in the local currency
Slovenian tolars (SIT- ).
So, do not forget to change (Exchange Rate-
)
some money already at the airport. Arriving to Ljubljana city,
travel to Bernardin/Portoroz may be continued by bus directly
to Portoroz or by train to Koper, where a local bus to Portoroz
should be taken. Another option of air transportation is to fly
to the Trieste Airport at Ronchi. Ronchi airport is 80 km away
from the Conference site in Bernardin, where the border from Italy
to Slovenia has to be crossed. The ground transportation from
Ronchi (Italy) to Portoroz (Slovenia) is very infrequent and on
Saturdays and Sundays, there is no bus connection at all.
This makes arrival to Ronchi less attractive, as the only remaining
ground transport is to take a taxi. The Organizing Committee will
not provide any transport from or to the Ronchi Airport
(as it is in another state), so that arrival to Ljubljana airport
should be preferred. |
