This castle is small and has limited attractions inside. Aside from the restaurants and museum of puppetry, there are good views of the city at the top of the castle. Limited displays are available in certain areas of the castle. This place is for you - check and enjoy!

Great views from the funicular up to the castle. Climb the tower if you can for great views of the city. Castle grounds and facilities are very nice but not a huge amount of the original castle to explore, perhaps too much modern restoration.

Great walking tour and tour of castle to include the free parts of the castle. Our guide welcomed questions and shared history as well as great insights into current culture and everyday life in Slovenia.

Booking our entrance tickets with the audio guide and funicular was the way to go! We walked up the hill, then climbed all of the stairways at the castle, listened to all of the audio as we toured, then took the funicular back down. For anyone who can't climb the hill, the funicular in both directions makes this tour possible for them too.

Beautiful building, fascinating history. Food reasonably priced, steep walk up but beautiful. We brought ticket on line to avoid lining up, but then still has to visit ticket booth to get printed ticket with QR code so seemed a bit pointless.

Very interesting audio tour and magnificent hilltop castle with 360 views. Audio information was thorough and gave sense of the history. Only downside is the directions for getting to the Funicular took one to the top. Not at the lower level. So only road down. It is a steep hike up to the castle so hopefully they will get the directions corrected for others.

This place is close to city center around 5 minutes from dragon bridge by car. There are many activates in the castle, visit the cattle , the tower , Puppet Museum and 4D cinema. We enjoy the there in this place But, the bad thing the place is open , the weather was too hot and this place is too crowded. note this place is less than 650 meter walking from dragon bridge .But, It is hard to walk because it is not straight road you must climb the road because the castle above the mountain. In my this place not the best attraction. But, worth visit. Also, the staff nice, welcome and Helpful you are family like us you should buy family ticket cheaper.

The castle is spectacular viewed from the town and the views from the castle are also spectacular.... So it's worth going up there. But the castle itself is a bit disappointing. It's quite hard to navigate, you have to pay a euro to go to the loo, the museum is very dull. The only thing that brings it to life is the short 4D film taking you on a whistlestop tour of the castle's past. This is actually really good (it's 4D cos it includes rain!). The Courtyard is also a nice place for a drink. So go for the views and the film!

One of the ‘must-sees’ when visiting the city of Ljubljana. Perched on a hilltop, it offers amazing views of the entire city, especially from the top of the tower. It is reachable via a short hike from the old town, or there is the cable car option too. The entrance ticket was rather pricey in my opinion. The castle itself was rather crowded, with various exhibition rooms showcasing a number of different themes including the history of Slovenia, its culture, a chapel etc.. Probably not my favourite sight visited in Ljubljana, but overall still glad I went there.

We were so disappointed. The funicular railway was a promising start, but, at the top, the views are disappointing and the whole place feels “staged” with much of the history hidden behind art galleries and up to date detail. For what must be the jewel of Ljubljana, it was a massive let down.
