Approximate distances. Check flights and bus, train or boat schedules before you travel.
Laško lies on the railway line between Ljubljana and Maribor, a few minutes from Celje, with the station next to the center. By car, follow the Savinja valley road from Celje, about 12 km. Ljubljana Airport is roughly 100 km away.
How many days
Half a day is enough for the center, the church and the riverbank. A full day allows a climb to Mount Hum or an afternoon at the thermal baths.
When to go
From May to September, to walk and see the town with activity; in July there is the beer-and-flowers festival, which fills Laško for a few days. The thermal baths operate year-round. In November, Saint Martin’s celebration marks the new wine.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
No. The station is close to the center and the train connects Laško to Celje in a few minutes. Trails to Mount Hum start on foot from the town.
