Transborder journeys between Italy and Slovenia – Time for Train Project

IT’S TIME FOR THE TRAIN

Transborder journeys between Italy and Slovenia

Spring 2026

 

Discover — or rediscover — a cross-border region through three experiential itineraries connecting Italy and Slovenia. Designed around major spring events, including festivals, performances, flavors, and nature, each route takes you on an authentic and immersive journey. Easy to experience and fully accessible by public transport, these itineraries are designed to be explored independently: a new way to travel across the territory, without borders.

 

The 3 itineraries:

  • Tracing history (Gorizia–Nova Gorica–Bohinj) – May & June 2026
  • Across two wine regions (Venice–Gorizia–Nova Gorica–Vipava) – 29–31 May 2026
  • In the theatre of time (Venice–Gorizia–Nova Gorica–Ajdovščina–Bohinj) – June 2026

Itinerary 1: Tracing history

Gorizia – Nova Gorica – Bohinj

 

 

A cross-border train journey connecting Gorizia, Nova Gorica, and Bohinj, where every stop reveals a new layer of the region’s history. From cultural heritage and stories of ever-changing borders to alpine landscapes shaped over centuries by the dialogue between people and nature, the itinerary comes alive through a series of spring events that tell the story of its most authentic identity.

 

When: May & June 2026
