How to get to Ljubljana from Munich

Hi all,

I am from Hong Kong, planning to go to Ljubljana from Munich
I just can't really figure out how I can buy ticket by visiting the official website of Slovenske železnice.
Could someone help me?
Also, how much would it be about?
Thanks so much!

Hello - you need to visit the German Railways website ( http://www.bahn.com ). It's easy to purchase a ticket online which you can print at home.
From Munich to Ljubljana the price is from 39EUR, not including reservation fees.

Hi Andyyip and welcome to Thorn Tree.
I hope you have a very happy and long stay with us all.
As *1.... kmcat - has already wisely advised, there are trains from Ljubljana to Munich for €39 - one way.
Some require a change, other's don't. However, some with 1 change - are quicker than direct services. Not much in it - though.
There are budget airline fares for around €100 one way - but quite honestly, even though the flight is only an hour and the train is 6 hours+, by the time you've added on waiting at the airport and the extra €60, best take the train eh?
Unless of course you're gonna be in a mad hurry.
good luck with everything.
I like both Munich and Slovenia.

Shall I take the reservation?
I guess there will be seats anyway on the train departing from 0827, right??

Reservation is unnecesary, unless you take the night train.

Ljubljana to Prague:

1st step You have to go back to Munich, same trains, same price as above bought on the net.

2nd step There are 2 direct trains from Munich to Prague:

09:01 - 14:51

17:02 - 22:51

The standard ticket is 65.9 EUR, but you can do it much cheaper!

First of all buy a Bayern-Boehmen Ticket for 24 EUR if you buy it from the automat or 26 EUR from the ticket office. This ticket is valid even in the Czech Republic(hence Boehmen - Bohemia) until Plzen.

Plzen - Praha ticket is 113 CZK, about 5 EUR. If you take the earlier train, you can get off in Plzen, it`s a nice town to walk around for a couple of hours, buy the ticket and continue to Prague on the next train. If you take the later train it`ll be too late to get off in Plzen, so just buy the ticket on board the train from the conductor. There will be a small extra fee for buying the ticket on the train, but not more than a couple of euros. You`d better exchange some Czech crowns in Munich, because the conductor might not accept euro!

Alternatively you can travel via Salzburg and Linz. It`s 2 hours shorter trip, but more expensive(standard ticket bought at the station 86 EUR) and you have to change trains twice instead of only once in Munich.

I`d go via Munich!
