Travel to Ljubljana by train: comfortable, sustainable and easy to reach the Slovenian capital.

Train to Ljubljana

Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, is one of the greenest cities in Europe. The Ljubljanica River winds right through the city centre, lined with charming streets full of cafés and restaurants. Most sights are within walking distance of the centre, including Ljubljana Castle, which towers above the city. To reach the castle viewpoint, take the funicular or walk up. From the top, you’ll see just how green Ljubljana is. Looking for an alternative neighbourhood? Visit Metelkova, just outside the city centre.

Ljubljana is easy to reach by train from the Netherlands. In the morning, board a direct train to Stuttgart Hbf. You’ll have plenty of time to explore Stuttgart before boarding the night train to Ljubljana in the evening. You sleep your way through Germany and Austria, and when you open your eyes, you’re in Slovenia. You arrive in Ljubljana around the start of the working day, ready to begin your city break straight away.
