To Ljubljana by train—travel tips

Since the days of the Roman Empire, the area known as Ljubljana has played a pivotal role in the history of its region. As the capital of Slovenia, it has become a melting pot for cultural, political, and economic ideals. However, you can still feel the legacy of this storied city as you walk through the streets and past the historic buildings and landmarks. Upon your arrival at Ljubljana railway station, you can board a Ljubljana Passenger Transport bus to get around the city.

With over 200 buses and more than thirty available routes, you have plenty of options to get you where you need to go. For a unique experience outside the typical landmarks, make a visit to Central Market and shop from local vendors. From fruits and vegetables to crafts and goods, you can interact with residents and get the true feel of what it means to live in Ljubljana. You can even pick up a full meal and get a taste of Ljubljana cuisine. Bring your food to Tivoli Park and enjoy a picnic before hopping back onto the bus for your next adventure.

If you want to fully immerse yourself in the history and legacy of Ljubljana, make a visit to Ljubljana Old Town as soon as you arrive at Ljubljana railway station.
