Europe's Hidden Scenic Train? Inside the EuroCity EMONA from Trieste to Vienna

Join me on an epic journey across Central Europe as I travel from Trieste Centrale to Vienna Hauptbahnhof aboard the EuroCity service Emona! 🚆🌍

We’ll begin in the historic port city of Trieste, once a vital hub of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and make our way through stunning coastal views, scenic river valleys, and mountain passes. Along the way, I’ll give you a tour of the train—operated jointly by ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) and Slovenske železnice (Slovenian Railways)—and show off its evolving consist, including the addition of a restaurant car in Ljubljana.

✨ Highlights:

History of the Austrian Southern Railway

Beautiful landscapes in Italy and Slovenia

Stops in Villa Opicina, Ljubljana, Zidani Most, Maribor, and more

Locomotive change in Villa Opicina and addition of news cars in Ljubljana

Tasty food onboard and a glimpse into Slovenian cuisine

Honest impressions—including a few rants about dirty trains 🚿👀

📍 Whether you're into train travel, European scenery, or just want to relax with a beautiful journey full of history and fun facts, this one’s for you.
