By train

The Ljubljana bus and train stations are located next to each other at Trg Osvobodilne Fronte "Trg" means square in Slovenian. The two stations are located just north of the city center and a short walk from most hotels and attractions. The train station has a tourist information center, currency exchange, and left-luggage service.

Ljubljana is the hub of Slovenia's rail system. Local trains run throughout the country - no point in Slovenia is more than 3 hours away. Direct international connections include Zagreb 2 hours, Rijeka 3 hours, Graz 3 hours, Salzburg 4 hours, Pula 4 hours, Vienna 6 hours, Munich 6 hours, Belgrade 9 hours, Frankfurt 10 hours, Zürich 11 hours. Getting to Trieste by train is complicated because international train connections to Italy are rare. Train connections to Villa Opicina have been cancelled except for one night train, so you cannot change to the tram to Trieste there any more. A taxi from Villa Opicina to Sezana however is not very expensive and train connections from Sezana to Ljubljana are frequent. Expect to pay about 10 euro and it is highly advisable to prebook the taxi, as none will be waiting.

As of December 2011 direct links to Venice and Budapest are no longer available due to contractual issues between the Italian Railways Trenitalia and Hungarian Railways MAV-START. (http://www.slo-zeleznice....)
