Lake Bled to Vienna in about four and a half hours: north through the Karawanken tunnel into Austria, east across Carinthia past Villach and Klagenfurt, through the Mur valley and over the Semmering to the capital — a private car from your Bled hotel to your Vienna address or Vienna Airport.
Drive from Lake Bled to Vienna in about 4h 30m. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — collected at your hotel or apartment in Bled and taken to your hotel or address in Vienna, or to Vienna Airport for an onward flight.
Pickup at your hotel, guesthouse or apartment in Bled; for addresses on the lake shore, include the exact location in your request. The road heads north to the Slovenian A2 towards the Karawanken.
Early in the journey the motorway passes under the Karawanken mountains in a long tunnel and comes out in Austria. The border is Schengen-internal; police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so every passenger should have a passport or national ID card ready.
Out of the tunnel the A11 meets the A2 by Villach, and the route runs along the Wörthersee, past Velden on its shore, to Klagenfurt. Any of the three makes a comfortable first break of the day.
North-east from Klagenfurt into Styria, along the S36 through the Mur valley and over the Semmering on the S6 to rejoin the A2 for the final run into Vienna.
Drop-off at your hotel or address in Vienna, or at Vienna Airport (VIE) in Schwechat, about 20 km south-east of the centre.

Travelling the other way? Vienna to Lake Bled takes you from the Austrian capital down to the Julian Alps.
Vienna → Lake Bled →Lake Bled to Vienna is about 373 km, from the town of Bled in north-west Slovenia to the Austrian capital. The road joins the Slovenian A2, crosses into Austria through the Karawanken tunnel, follows the A11 and A2 past Villach to Klagenfurt, then turns north-east through Styria on the S36 and over the Semmering on the S6 before the A2 brings you into Vienna. Allow about four and a half hours without stops.
There is no direct train and no direct bus from Bled to Vienna. Rail journeys leave from 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 through to your Vienna address or the airport, so the luggage stays in one car and the breaks happen when you want them.
Slovenia and Austria are both in the Schengen area, so the crossing in the Karawanken tunnel is an internal border, but police checks or temporary border controls may occur. Every passenger should carry a valid passport or national ID card; if you have a flight to catch in Vienna, 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 Vienna we drop off at hotels and addresses across the city and at Vienna Airport (VIE) in Schwechat, south-east of the centre.
