The Ljubljana railway station (Slovene: Železniška postaja Ljubljana) is the principal railway station in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It was completed on 18 April 1848, a year before the Austrian Southern Railway, connecting Vienna and Trieste, reached Ljubljana.

Location

Ljubljana railway station is located in the city of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It is the main railway station in the country and serves as a hub for both domestic and international trains. The station is located in the city center, making it easily accessible by foot, car, or public transportation. It is also near many popular tourist destinations such as Ljubljana Castle and the Triple Bridge.

History

The Ljubljana railway station was completed on 18 April 1848.

James Joyce spent a night at Ljubljana railway station on his way to Trieste in October 1904, because he mistakenly thought that he had arrived at his destination. In his honour, a small monument, created by the sculptor Jakov Brdar, was erected at Ljubljana railway station on Bloomsday in 2003. The Slovenian Railway Museum is located nearby. There are plans to renovate the station as part of the Emonika urban project.

The building was renovated in 1980 by the architect Marko Mušič.
