Ljubljana airport overview

Ljubljana Airport, or Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport, is Slovenia’s international airport. Located north of the capital city Ljubljana, it’s the country’s busiest airport, serving around 1.5 million passengers per year.

A small, neat and clean terminal building, Ljubljana is attractive and pleasant to use. As with most airports, during busier times there may be delays and long queues; however, most of the time, checking in and boarding is generally quick and painless. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Although offering only a small assortment of shops and restaurants, Ljubljana Airport has a marvellous Visitor’s Terrace from which passengers can watch planes taking off and landing, as well as some beautiful artworks in the passenger terminal.
