Discover the advantages of travelling by train and set off on a beautiful autumn experience.

Travelling by train is easy and comfortable. You don’t have to worry about traffic jams, finding parking spaces or time pressure. Instead, you can relax and enjoy the comfortable seats, admire the beautiful views that Slovenia has to offer and simply take time for yourself. Travelling by train is much more environmentally friendly than other means of transport, as it produces fewer emissions and does not pollute the environment.

Trains often take you right in the city centre, giving you easy access to various destinations without the need to find parking spaces or use other means of transportation. Travelling by train is also ideal for group travel as it allows you to socialise, chat, play games and spend quality time with your loved ones.

Before each departure on a planned trip, we recommend that you check the current timetable and possible rail replacement buses or disruptions.
