Perched on a green hill in the middle of the city, Ljubljana Castle is a main landmark in the Slovenian capital. Originally constructed as a medieval fortress, the present-day complex was largely reconstructed in the 16th century featuring renovated rooms of the nobility, immaculate halls and of course the castle dungeon.

Ride the 70 meter-long funicular departing from the Old Town, explore the historical monuments around the walls on a leisurely stroll and enjoy spectacular views of the city below.

Inside the castle walls, you can climb to the top of the castle’s 19th-century Watchtower and learn about the history of Ljubljana on a 12-minute video tour. Admire the frescoed walls and the coats of arms in the Chapel of St George and see the interactive Slovenian History Exhibition. As well as visit the Museum of Puppetry and take the popular 90-minutes Time Machine tour.
