Finally some #CrossBorderRail improvements after Romania joined the #Schengen zone.
Not much advertised, but there are several new international 🇭🇺🇷🇴 trains on the Békéscsaba-Salonta line from 12 May.
6-7 direct trains in a direction (instead of 2) and shorter waiting times at the border.

The city's bike-sharing system BicikeLJ costs 1€ for a week (1h continuous rides included), so I tried it out. The bikes are very basic but OK for a flat terrain. The city centre and its surroundings are quite bike-friendly, there are lots of streets with cycling infrastructure and traffic-calming.

In the afternoon, I explored the central part of Ljubljana. The city centre is a pedestrian zone protected by rising bollards. Very pleasant place to spend time.

Last February, I travelled to Ljubljana 🇸🇮 for a weekend in order to attend a concert. From Budapest I chose Flixbus because their schedule fitted to my plans. The ride was comfortable, everything worked well and we arrived right on time in the Slovenian capital.
