Predjama Castle

A castle built inside a cave!! Yes, it is true:) Predjama Castle is truly a one-of-kind attraction that you’ll only find in Slovenia. The Castle is located in the southwest region of the country and is easily accessible by car from Ljubljana via E70. You drive on this highway for 50 km, then you’ll find signs for the exit that takes you to a byroad towards the castle. Then, you’ll drive around 20 minutes more on this road till you reach the castle complex. However, if you don’t have a car, there are tour buses that goes from Ljubljana to the castle during the day.

You won’t believe your eyes when you first see the castle, it is an engineering marvel & since I’m an engineer, you can understand my fascination with it:)

You can enter the castle and take a tour, but for me the main reason of visiting this castle was its location, so take your time admiring it, I bet you’ll want to take a picture from every angle hoping to capture the perfect one…hope I did a good job:)

 

The ticket for entering the castle costs 14 euros/person (2018) and there is also a cave complex next to it which you can visit. For a complete list of the tours, prices, and timing, there is comprehensive website with all the details (click to request info)  

After you finish your tour, there is a nice restaurant where you can enjoy a drink or food in the terrace with amazing views of the castle…So Enjoy!
