If I come to rhe Kosice station in the morning, will I find any free places in the overnight train? How busy they are?

Hi Serhii,
there's a very good chance you will get your ticket. It's Monday and most people commute on the Sunday.

Hi zooey,
yes and no. Depends on what kind of train do you choose. Intercity train (which cover that distance in 5 hours) does not stop in Zvolen. However, normal train (7 hours to get to Kosice) stops in Zvolen.
