There is a bus stop in front of main bus station. Take bus number 9, direction Trnovo, take off on second bus stop (in front of the book store) and change to the line No. 1 (direction Mestni log) or 6 (direction Dolgi most). We recommend to take bus No. 1, because it stops in front of the entrance to Jozef Stefan Institute on Jadranska cesta (take off at 5th bus stop). Bus No.6 stops (5th bus stop) on Trzaska cesta about 5 minutes walking distance from the Institute (cross the main street at traffic lights and walk along Jadranska cesta). |
