Slovenia Trip Cost Calculator: Plan Your Travel Budget

This Slovenia trip cost calculator gives a quick estimate of what a holiday in Slovenia will cost your group. Set the trip length, the number of travelers, the month, your travel style and how you plan to get around. Then tick the sights you want to see and add any guided tours.

You get a total for the group, a realistic range (±15%), and the cost per person and per person per day, split into accommodation, food and drinks, getting around, sights and tours. If a sight is closed in your month, it’s left out and a note explains why. All numbers are estimates based on typical prices, not quotes. Flights are not included.

Typical Daily Budget in Slovenia

These examples come from the calculator: two people sharing a room in May, 5 days and 4 nights, without sights, tours and flights. Your own numbers will change with the month, travel style and transport you pick.

Tickets and guided tours come on top. Rafting on the Soča, a Bled day trip or a food tour usually costs about €40–90 per person. To compare prices, browse the day tours from Ljubljana.

Ljubljana adds a tourist tax of €3.13 per adult per night and €1.57 for ages 7–18. Children under 7 don’t pay it.

Getting Around

Bus and train

Public transport costs about €8 per person per day on average. A Ljubljana city bus ride is €1.50, valid 90 minutes with changes on the Urbana card. The bus from Ljubljana to Bled is about €7 one way and takes about 1 h 20 min. IJPP train and bus tickets give unlimited travel in all of Slovenia for at most €18 a day, €22 for 3 days or €36 a week.

Rental car

A rental car costs about €30 a day in low season, €40 in spring and autumn and €55 in summer. Add about €6 for fuel and €10 for parking per day. Petrol is about €1.53 per litre, and parking in Bled is €1.50–7.50 per hour, depending on the lot. Cars rented in Slovenia usually already have the motorway vignette, but check with the rental company.

Your own car

Slovenian motorways need an e-vignette: €16 for 7 days, €32 for 1 month or €117.50 for 1 year. You buy it online at evinjeta.dars.si. The calculator adds the right one for your trip. Our Slovenia travel tips cover the road rules and what else to sort out before you go.

How the Season Changes the Cost

• Low season (January, February, November): rooms cost about 25% less. Vintgar Gorge is closed from December to March, and the Vršič Pass is usually closed in winter. The caves stay open.
• Shoulder season (March to May, September and October): normal prices.
• Peak season (June to August and December): rooms cost about 25% more. Škocjan Caves tickets are highest in July and August.

Rental cars follow the same pattern: about €30 a day in low season and about €55 in summer.

Ways to Spend Less

• Take the bus or train. Public transport is about €8 per person per day. A rental car is about €30–55 a day plus fuel and parking. On days with a lot of travel, an IJPP ticket caps the cost at €18.
• Travel in shoulder or low season. Rooms are about 25% cheaper in January, February and November, and about 25% more expensive from June to August and in December.
• See the caves in winter. Škocjan Caves cost €16 from November to March and €24 in July and August. Both caves stay open in low season.
• Use child and student prices. Children under 7 pay no tourist tax in Ljubljana, and ages 7–18 pay half. Postojna Cave and Bled Castle have lower prices for children and students.
• Keep some meals simple. A burek costs €3.80–5. A three-course dinner in the Old Town is about €35.
• Plan only the tours you want. The Slovenia day trip planner helps you find tours that fit your plans.
