Ljubljana Castle: Historic Majesty & Breathtaking Views

We arrived at the funicular first thing and rode up with an enthusiastic school group. This is not a typical castle/manor visit but a variety of exhibits. We picked up audio guides at the info center - struggled a bit finding all the stops but it added to the experience. We were the only visitors in the odd, atmospheric puppet museum. Our favorites were the tower views, the 4D show and the Slovenian history exhibit which we spent a lot of time on. Walked back down the hill to lunch - with Ljubljana card a bargain.

A great day out, the kids loved it. The cost worked out reasonable with a family ticket. There is not lots of history but it is photogenic and a fun experience. Its a very modern renovation of a castle with lots of opportunities to spend cash.

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!
