Landmark railway station in Nova Gorica reopens after renovation

Nova Gorica, 31 January - The Nova Gorica railway station was reopened on Friday after a major renovation, just in time for the opening ceremony of the Nova Gorica-Gorizia 2025 European Capital of Culture, which will be held next week.
