Climb the castle's tower for a great view of the city. Take the funicular up to the castle to save you time and to save your energy for the climb up the tower.

On a hill overlooking the entire town, you’d can’t miss the magnificent Ljubljana Castle. The new funicular train makes the climb to its gates significantly easier than before, and wandering around the centuries-old castle is free. It’s worth it to pay the small admission fee, however, to gain access to the observation tower

We just came back from a day trip at Lake Bled and decided to visit Ljubljana Castle. We took a taxi from the train/bus station and only costs us 5 Euro to get to the top of Ljubljana Castle. The view up there was amazing as you can see from my photos. It's kind of a place that you must... More

we came up here on the little tourist train that leaves every hour from city center. 3.50 Euro round trip. We found out later that the cable car is cheaper. The view from up there is breathtaking. Luckily it was a pretty clear day and you could see the Alps clearly. The story of the castle is impressing. We haven't... More

There are many ways to get up to the castle wich is located on a hill, you can either take the cable car, or you can walk up the hill, although it's a pretty steep road. Once you arrive you can visit some rooms and climb some towers, but the most important reason to visit it probably is the amazing... More

Ben tenuto e organizzato, ha ovviamente il suo punto di forza nella posizione da dove domina la città. Well maintained and organized, obviously it has its strength in the location from where it dominates the city.

we really enjoyed the views of the city from the funicular and the castle itself. When you take the funicular, be aware that you do not need to pay the additional fee to see the castle - only certain parts of it (we didn't do our research, so we paid the additional fee without knowing). We enjoyed being able to... More

We visited on a clear night last summer and had a lot of fun. There isn't really much to see at the castle itself, but of course it offers amazing views of the city and the Julian Alps. We rode the cable car up, which in and of itself was fun. It's a very quick and steep ride, and it's... More
