Slovenia by Train: Lakes, Cities and a Light Backpack
Practical inspiration for travelling Slovenia by train: Ljubljana, Bled, Bohinj and small tips for an easier route.
Slovenia is ideal for a trip that does not need to be complicated. Distances are kind, cities are green and the mountains are closer than you expect.
Ljubljana as a base
Ljubljana is small, pretty and practical. Stay near the center or station and save the rest of the day for a walk along the river.
In the evening, sit outside with something good and check the next morning’s connections. With trains, a little buffer time is always worth it.
Bled and Bohinj
Bled is beautiful, but popular. If you want a quieter day, continue to Bohinj. The water is clear, the surroundings are green and the rhythm is slower.
Pack only the useful things:
- one warmer layer,
- swimwear,
- comfortable shoes,
- a small snack,
- a power bank.
Why train
The train lets you look out the window instead of switching your brain into navigation mode. Sometimes that is exactly the kind of luxury travel needs.
