Lake Bled to Trieste in about an hour and thirty-five minutes: south on the Slovenian motorways past Ljubljana and Postojna, over the Karst and down to the Adriatic — a private car from your Bled hotel to a Trieste address, a cruise departure at the Stazione Marittima or Trieste Airport.
Drive from Lake Bled to Trieste in about 1h 35m. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — collected at your hotel or apartment in Bled and taken to your Trieste address, the cruise terminal or Trieste Airport.
Pickup at your hotel, guesthouse or apartment in Bled; for lakeside hotels, send the exact address with your request. From Bled the road joins the A2 motorway southwards.
Radovljica’s old town is only just off the road as you leave the Bled area; further south the motorway passes Ljubljana, where a lunch stop in the capital fits easily into the day.
On the way down towards the coast, Postojna Cave lies beside the A1 and the UNESCO-listed Škocjan Caves are nearby. Plan time for the cave visit as well as the drive.
The single border on this route, Schengen-internal, on the Karst above Trieste. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so have a passport or national ID card ready for every passenger.
Down from Opicina into Trieste for a drop-off at your hotel or address, at the Stazione Marittima on Molo dei Bersaglieri for cruise departures, or at Trieste Airport (TRS) at Ronchi dei Legionari.
