Take a train to Slovenia

A train ride is one of the most comfortable ways of travelling. It is quite simple to come to Slovenia by train from all of its neighbouring and many other countries. Slovenia is connected to Croatia, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Czechia, Germany, and Switzerland, and indirectly also to other European destinations. You can also come to Slovenia by night trains with sleeping cars. Slovenia is a part of the Eurail Global Pass system, which means that this ticket can also be used to travel to Slovenia. Explore international connections and extend your adventures in a comfortable way. 

You can also travel by rail from the nearby airports – check the direct link between Trieste and Ljubljana.

A direct connection between Vienna and Trieste via Ljubljana has now been established

The railway network in Slovenia is also ramified. You can find a lot of useful information on the website of Slovenian Railways, and recommendations for day trips by train around Slovenia or abroad, a list of affordable connections, and a search engine for timetables that will help you plan your journey are also available. You can purchase your ticket online, at every railway station or from the guard on the train.
