Ljubljana Castle

Great castle experience! The funicular ride up is convenient and fun. Lots to explore once you’re there, with something for everyone. The puppet museum was a fantastic surprise - definitely don’t miss it. Highly recommended! The view from the clock tower is amazing.

Beautiful castle with a nice walk to go to it. Unfortunately there is trees around the entire location that blocks the view, but its probably so people will pay to go up to the tower. But overall deserves a 5 star!

Go as easily as possible to skip the crowds. We bought tickets at the entrance and arrive at 9:30am to no queues or crowds. Great views of the city. The history is castle is available in multiple languages across the various rooms. Definitely a good place to visit.

We parked in the city center and decided to hike up to Ljubljana Castle — and it was totally worth it! The trail through the forest was peaceful and green, a nice break from the urban buzz. Along the way, we passed a few friendly tourists, but the path wasn’t too crowded, which made the walk even more enjoyable. Hiking up with my boyfriend made the experience even more special — a mix of adventure and fun. Once we reached the top, the 360° panoramic view over Ljubljana was absolutely stunning. You can see the red rooftops, the river, and even the mountains in the distance. Even if you don’t go inside the castle, just being up there feels magical — a perfect mix of nature, history, and great city views. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Ljubljana! Let me know if you'd like a shorter version or one that’s more romantic or playful!

A must-visit place if you’re ever in Ljubljana. Better to climb the hill instead of taking the gondola. The site is well maintained with clear information boards, and the view of Ljubljana town is awesome. There are a few restaurants for food and drinks, and they’ve done a great job of blending modern structures while preserving the ancient ones.

We walked to the castle. Definitely would recommend walking if possible and if it’s good weather. Really nice view, especially from the top. Castle is nice and the 4D VirtualTour was also good

A visit to Ljubljana isn't complete without a visit to the castle overlooking the city. We chose to walk up the hill from the South side, a path that takes you through some lovely viewing points and charming, narrow alleys. We'd highly recommend this scenic route, but if the walk is challenging, there's also a funicular that whisks you up the hill. The castle itself, with the exception of the tower, wasn't quite what I expected. Much of it has been renovated in a modern style, and the central courtyard felt rather busy and hectic. However, the panoramic views from the castle over the city are absolutely worth the climb! You can descend back into the city via a path to the North, which brings you out near the puppet theatre, or simply take the funicular back down.

The castle is a part public-private museum. It's really confusing as I don't really know what's paid for in the ticket and what isn't until you walk to to the exhibition. So many people were streaming in without a ticket of sorts, making me wonder what the ticket was for. Perhaps the entire area of the castle should be pay-walled to better divide the public and paid guests.
