If you are flying, the closest airport is Ljubljana airport, which is only a 40-minute drive from Bled. Some hotels offer a shuttle service from Ljubljana, or you could also catch a cab or a bus (see below) from Ljubljana to Bled. See the other options below.

Ljubljana is extremely well-connected to Lake Bled. There's at least one bus every hour going to Bled from Ljubljana, with some buses stopping directly at the Ljubljana Airport.

By Train
There are two stations at Bled — Lesce-Bled and Bled Jezero. You should catch the train to Lesce-Bled so that you do not have to switch trains along the way. You can then go on a short cab ride from the station to your final destination. You can book train tickets here: https://potniski.sz.si/

Do I need to bring anything for the wedding day?
The ceremony is at a church. If your shoulders are not covered, please bring a shawl or a jacket. If your dress is above the knee, a wrap would also be a good item to carry.
Please make sure that you can walk in your shoes on uneven terrain (cobblestone alert!). If you are worried, bring an extra pair of flats that you can put on when walking.
The shawl/jacket will also be useful at night, when the temperatures cool off.
Are kids invited to the wedding activities?
For safety reasons given the venues, we politely request no children. We hope that that will also give all guests the opportunity to celebrate without having to worry about little eyes and ears,
