Thursday, August 19 — Group coach from Ljubljana to Hotel Rainers, Vienna
If enough people sign up, I’ll arrange a group coach directly to Hotel Rainers. Planned arrival at the hotel is around 2:00 p.m. Please indicate your interest on the registration form.
Traveling to Vienna with the group on Thursday? I’m planning additional activities in Slovenia on Tuesday, August 17 and Wednesday, August 18 for everyone who stays in Slovenia until Thursday, whether you travel with the group coach or on the regular bus and train connections. Details will be announced later.
The group coach will run only if enough people sign up. I’ll confirm by the end of January 2027. If there aren’t enough participants, you can still travel to Vienna on the regular bus and train connections listed above, and I’ll gladly help you buy your tickets.
The Vienna organizers have scheduled a Thursday morning tour. If you’d like to join, consider traveling on Tuesday or Wednesday. If you prefer the early Thursday bus, check the tour’s start time and meeting point before booking. The group coach will arrive after the morning tour starts.
If you’d like me to buy a regular bus or train ticket for you, choose your preferred date and departure (or any bus or train) on the registration form. I’ll confirm the departure and fare with you before booking.
