I'm never one to participate in guided tours but man this was the best day ever. It really gave me a sense of a huge area outside of the city which is totally accessible from the city. Thank you!

12.Ljubljana Castle: Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 380 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $18

Visit Ljubljana Castle at your own pace with entry to its main exhibits, including the Viewing Tower, Puppet Museum, Slovenian History exhibition, and Virtual Castle film. Select a package with the funicular and audio guide, then explore the Penitentiary, chapel, towers, and temporary displays without joining a guided group.

“The movie was great. The museum of puppetry was great for all ages. View from the tower was fantastic as well. Definitely worth it if you can walk up for about 15-20 minutes because the funicular ticket is not included. The ticket says audio guide but it’s misleading. It costs extra to get the audio guide”
