Direct train Italy-Slovenia; new service may start in April 2024!

Despite sharing a border, Italy and Slovenia are not connected by a direct train but that could be about to change. On Monday, Italian train operator Trenitalia tested a new route between Venice and Ljubljana.

A link between the northeastern Italian city of Trieste and the Slovenian capital was discussed in 2021 but never materialized.

If the test is deemed successful, it will restore a cross-border service that has not existed since 2008. The new service could start in April 2024.

On Monday morning (December 11), a high-speed Frecciarossa train left Mestre in Venice, heading north to Portogruaro, Monfalcone and Bivio Aurisina.

Finally, at the Villa Opicina border station, she met Slovenian Railways staff to continue her journey to Sesana, a town 80 km southwest of Ljubljana. Operational tests were also carried out on the Slovenian railway network after the arrival of the train in the country.

"The time seems ripe for the restoration of a cross-border service between the two countries," FS Italiane, Italy's state-owned national railway, said on its website ahead of the test.

The last line could mean a direct train connection between Milan and Ljubljana.

Despite being less than 70km from the Italian border, Slovenia's capital flies under the radar for many travellers. But its rich history, vibrant art scene and enticing food culture are more than worthy of attention.

Within day trip distance are the wine-growing region of Brda, thermal spas such as Terme Dobrna and the atmospheric Hotel Grad Otočec – a 13th-century Gothic masterpiece perched on an island in the middle of the shallow Krka River.

Meanwhile, nature lovers can check out the Triglav Mountain National Park and the picturesque Lake Bled.
