City of Kranj is the economic, commercial, traffic, educational, sport and cultural center of Gorenjska region. It lies at the crossroads of important traffic routes leading from northern Europe to the Adriatic and from western Europe to the east. The town developed on a natural pier at the confluence of the 30-meters-deep incised riverbeds of the Kokra and Sava, a river crossing at the intersection of the longitudinal path along the Sava and transverse paths towards Jezersko and Ljubelj and Škofja Loka. The city is 6 km away from Jože Pučnik International Airport. The city has daily connections with the capital Ljubljana and all major Slovenian cities and major cities of neighbouring countries. Only 30 minutes’ drive towards southeast is the romantic capital Ljubljana and in 20 minutes by car to the northwest you can reach Bled.

With the aim to reduce the emissions, lower the air pollution, to ensure healthier and happier environment and to create prosperity for its citizens and visitors, Kranj is planting threes, binding the urban parts of the city with the green parts, encouraging increase of energy use from renewable sources, developing the society of electric mobility, establishing the digital platforms for digital transformation. With its green and smart policy Kranj is becoming one of the European Small Giants.
