Lake Bled to Venice in about three hours and ten minutes: down from the Alps on the Slovenian motorways past Ljubljana, over the Karst into Italy and west along the A4 to the lagoon — a private car from your Bled hotel to Piazzale Roma, a Mestre address, Marco Polo Airport or your cruise berth.
Drive from Lake Bled to Venice in about 3h 10m. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle — collected at your hotel or apartment in Bled and taken to Piazzale Roma, Tronchetto, a Mestre hotel, Venice Marco Polo Airport or the cruise terminal. Tell us your flight or ship time and we plan the departure from Bled around it.
Pickup at your hotel, guesthouse or apartment in Bled. For lakeside addresses, give us the exact location with your request. From the town the road joins the A2 motorway heading south.
Radovljica’s old town sits right by the road as you leave the Bled area. Further on, the motorway passes Ljubljana — a good place for a late breakfast or lunch before the long stretch into Italy.
Heading south-west on the A1, Postojna Cave is beside the motorway and the UNESCO-listed Škocjan Caves are close by. A cave visit needs its own time slot, so tell us in advance.
The single border of the journey, Schengen-internal. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so have a passport or national ID card ready for every passenger.
West on the A4 and over the Ponte della Libertà. The car stops at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, the last points reachable by road; from there you continue into the centre on foot or by water. Mestre hotels, Marco Polo Airport and cruise berths are served directly.
Per vehicle, not per person. Every quote includes tolls, fuel, the cross-border route, assistance with loading and unloading luggage, and child seats available on request.

Ljubljana Airport (LJU) is about 35 km from Bled, around 30 minutes by car. If you land there and want to go straight to Venice rather than via Bled, we collect you at the airport: from LJU to Piazzale Roma is about 266 km and roughly 2h 55m. Mention the airport pickup in your request. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting.
From Venice we also drive along the Adriatic to Rovinj, Poreč and Pula in Istria, and on to Zagreb.
Travelling the other way? Venice to Lake Bled takes you from the lagoon up into the Julian Alps.
Venice → Lake Bled →Lake Bled to Venice is about 292 km, from the town of Bled in north-west Slovenia to Piazzale Roma at the edge of the lagoon. The motorway route goes south on the A2 past Kranj, round Ljubljana, south-west on the A1 past Postojna, into Italy above Trieste and then west along the A4 across Friuli and the Veneto to the causeway. Allow about three hours and ten minutes without stops; a more northerly road via Kranjska Gora is possible on request.
Is there a simple public-transport link from Bled to Venice? There is no direct train and no direct public bus. Rail journeys start at Lesce-Bled station, about 4 km from the town, and change, for example at Villach; check the current timetable before travelling. A private transfer collects you at your Bled hotel and drives you to the Venice drop-off you need — Piazzale Roma, Mestre, the airport or the cruise berth — without changing trains with your luggage.
Slovenia and Italy are both in the Schengen area, so this is an internal border, but police checks or temporary border controls may occur when you cross. Every passenger should carry a valid passport or national ID card; if a flight or a ship is waiting in Venice, allow some flexibility in journey time.
We pick up from hotels, guesthouses and apartments in Bled; address pickups include 15 minutes of free waiting. In Venice no car can enter the historic centre, so we drop off at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto (linked by the People Mover), at your hotel or address in Mestre, at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) or at your cruise berth — the berth depends on the ship, so tell us which one.
