Train travel in Slovenia
Slovenske Zeleznice operates Slovenia's rail network which has extensive domestic services and international routes connecting Slovenia with Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest, Milan, Trieste, Venice, Rijeka and Zagreb.
Although Slovenia's train service is slow, it is efficient, covering most towns and cities in the country. Train fares are good value by Europeans standards with a 100km journey costing around €6. If you buy your ticket on board the train you have to pay a supplement of €2.50.
A supplement of €1.54 (€1.05 with a Euro<26 card) is payable on IC, MV and EC trains. InterCity Slovenija trains require a €6 (€3 Euro<26) supplement in second class and a €9 (€4.50 Euro<26) supplement for first class.
If you're having a hard time trying to figure out the timetables at the station bear in mind that departures are listed on the yellow timetable marked Odhad or Odhodi Vlakov and arrivals are listed on the white timetable marked Prihod or Prihodi Vlakov. Remember the following Slovene words if you're still having trouble trying to decipher the timetable: peron (platform), sedez (seat) and smer (direction).
