Cycling around Ljubljana

Overall, Ljubljana has more than 230 kilometres of designated cycling paths. The city is predominantly flat and just the right size for going about on a bike. You can use a bicycle throughout the pedestrian zone in the city centre, but you have to mind your speed and give right of way to pedestrians.

Ljubljana is among the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world

Ljubljana is listed among the top bicycle-friendly cities in the world according to the Copenhagenize Index. In 2019, Ljubljana was listed as 14th.

Bike rental and guided cycling tours

Bicikelj, the city's bike sharing system, provides bikes for hire from self-service terminals located across the wider Ljubljana city centre. And it’s practically free. The Ljubljana Bike project provides easy and affordable bike rental from the Slovenian Tourist Information Centre.

Ljubljana Tourism also offers several guided cycling city tours, such as Exploring Ljubljana by Bicycle, A Bicycle Tour through Plečnik’s Ljubljana and the Moustache Tour, a unique insight into the city's cultural heritage.
