Getting to Ljubljana

There are no trains at all between Slovenia and Italy. So to get from Venice to Ljubljana requires the following epic trek:



I left Venice at about 10:00 on a train to the border town of Gorizia.



Gorizia is on the italian side of the border.



A 4 kilometre walk away is the Slovenian side of the town, Nova Gorica.

The train station is very different to the italian ones. There are no signs to tell you what trains are coming and what platform they're going to be on. In fact, it was mostly deserted...



The station did have a cafe with some nice beer though. The station's right on the border, so those buildings behind the beer are in Italy.






I had to get three different trains to get to Ljubljana. No more walking was needed at least. Luckily, I was able to make alone very tight connections.

It was a pretty journey...





The last train even had cabins, and windows you could lean out of.
