Explore Lake Bled With Ease: Free Buses and New Central Parking This Summer
Visitors heading to Lake Bled during the 2025 summer season can once again enjoy free public bus connections and take advantage of new and improved parking facilities, including the opening of a central parking area near the Bledec Sports Park on 4 July 2025.
New Central Parking Lot Just 10 Minutes from the Lake
The new central parking area, located a short 10-minute walk from the town center and slightly further from the popular swimming area in Velika Zaka, offers 231 parking spaces for cars, including 6 for electric vehicles and 11 designated spots for people with disabilities. The new lot aims to reduce congestion closer to the lake while still keeping key sites within easy reach.
Additional Parking for Motorcyclists and Free Options Nearby
A new parking scheme was also introduced this year in the Zdraviliški Park, featuring 40 motorcycle spaces and 4 accessible spots, with no time limit on parking. Visitors can also use the free municipal parking area in Betin, offering 65 spaces.
All Parking Info in One Place
To improve the user experience, the Municipality of Bled has launched a new online platform that consolidates all information about public parking in the area. The website parking.bled.si features a map of available parking lots, price details, and allows visitors to purchase seasonal permits online.
From July through August, Bled will again operate free seasonal bus services to ease traffic and make sightseeing more convenient.
The "Around the Lake" route will run 10 times a day, connecting major points along Lake Bled and stopping at the new central parking area.
The "Village Route" will operate three times daily, linking the town center with Seliše, Zasip, Ribno and Bohinjska Bela.
A bus to Pokljuka Plateau will run twice a day, supported by the municipalities of Bled and Gorje.
These services are coordinated by Bled Tourism Bled.
New Free Shuttle Between Radovljica, Lesce and Bled
In cooperation with Radovljica Tourism, an additional free shuttle will run from 1 July to 31 August 2025, linking the towns of Radovljica, Lesce and Bled.
The shuttle will depart five times daily from the main bus station in Radovljica, with stops at Lesce train station, Šobec Camp, River Camping Bled and Bled bus station, from where it returns on the same route. The first departure from Radovljica is at 8:15 a.m. and the last return from Bled is at 8:15 p.m.
A Sustainable and User-Friendly Approach
These initiatives are part of Bled’s broader strategy to reduce traffic congestion, promote eco-friendly transport and enhance the overall visitor experience. Whether arriving by car, train, or bus, visitors now have more options than ever to explore the area car-free and responsibly.
