Post by bbCould someone tell me what the cost of a ticket on the
Casanova train might be? I can find timetables but no
ticket prices.
Accodring to http://www.jizdenka.cz/IT.aspx TCV fare Venezia S.
Lucia - Ljubljana is EUR 32,2 (one-way). The Casanova requires an
additional seat reservation, which costs a few Euros.
Prices in SIT can be found here:
http://www.slo-zeleznice.si/sl/mednarodni_promet/mednarodne_povezave/italija/benetke_venezia/
The fare posted there is SIT 8067, that fits together with the EUR
32,2.
Post by bbWould anyone have any suggestions about a quick overnight
trip from the Venice area into Slovenia? What other ways
are there to travel into Slovenia or Croatia. We will be
travelling at Christmas time.
The timetable changes on Dec. 12:
The Casanova will not change it's timetable, but the train will be
extended to Maribor (with a connection to Graz):

Connecting service to Graz:
IC 152 Maribor 21:40 - Graz 22:42
IC 153 Graz 7:24 - Maribor 8:26
The existing Intercity "Drava" (Trieste - Budapest) will be
extended to Venezia, rerouted via Zagreb and upgraded to an
EuroCity train:
EC 53: Venezia SL 9:00 - Ljubljana 13:13/13:20 - Zagreb
15:40/15:52 - Budapest keleti 20:58
http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/oebb.w02/zuginfo.exe/dn/286032/232599/365812/87562/4095/
EC 52: Budapest keleti 8:35 - Zagreb 13:41/13:55 - Ljubljana
16:12/16:16 - Venezia SL 20:31
http://fahrplan.oebb.at/bin/oebb.w02/zuginfo.exe/dn/593040/334934/798014/201327/4095/
For a trip from Venezia to Ljubljana this train might be more
convenient than the "Casanova" as it arrives earlier in Ljubljana
and leaves later.
The timetable links in this posting are temporary and might change
after some days.
