By bicycle from Ljubljana to Lavrica

This ride takes you from Ljubljana’s lively city center, known for its charming old town and vibrant café culture, down to the peaceful suburb of Lavrica, just over 11 km to the south. It’s a leisurely journey—mostly on quiet roads and paths—so you can really soak up the scenery as you pedal out of Slovenia’s capital.

You’ll start surrounded by the historic architecture of Ljubljana, then breeze through quieter neighborhoods. The route is nice and flat, with just a gentle rise of about 40 meters total, so it’s beginner-friendly. Most of the way is smooth and paved, with only a short section on gravel—perfect for city bikes and hybrids.

Lavrica itself is a sleepy suburban area, offering a change of pace from the buzz of downtown. If you’re after a short ride away from the city hustle, this route is ideal for a relaxed weekend spin. Don’t forget to take in the green views along the way!
