Zvolen osobná railway station (Slovak: Zvolen osobná stanica) is the main passenger station serving the town of Zvolen in central Slovakia. The station is named osobná stanica (passenger station) to differentiate it from Zvolen nákladná stanica, a large freight terminal a short distance east, which is also served by some local stopping trains. There is also a smaller station, Zvolen mesto, located nearer to the town centre.

History

Two railways were built in 1871-1872, and Zvolen became an important railway hub and important industrial centre. The replica armored train Hurban is displayed close to the station.

Services

The station is owned by Železnice Slovenskej republiky (ŽSR); passenger train services are operated by Železničná spoločnosť Slovensko (ZSSK).
