By train, on the line between Ljubljana and Jesenice, with a station below the old town. Buses connect the town with Bled and Ljubljana. By car, it lies beside the A2 motorway, about 50 km from the capital.
How many days
Half a day for the center and the museum; a full day including Brezje. Many visitors sleep in Radovljica and day-trip to Bled and Bohinj.
When to go
From spring to autumn, with outdoor tables on the square and events throughout the year. In winter the center is quiet and the mountains to the north usually have snow.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
Not necessary for the center, which is small and close to the station. A car makes it easier to reach Brezje and to travel between Bled, Bohinj and Radovljica, although there are buses.
