Predjama Castle, Postojna

This is just amazing which is definitely on my top list of the castles. Very well organized, audio guide in details, reasonable visit routine with a lot of attractions. Even the kids can enjoy the whole tour which is not easy for sure. Highly recommended!

Predjama castle is located approximately 15-minute drive from the highway E61 and 10 minutes from the Postojna Caves, so it is convenient to visit both in the same day. We purchased combined ticket (Castle+Caves) for approx. 40 EUR per person. Parking was not difficult to find, however we arrived relatively late at around 16:30 (castle was closing at 17:00), so I imagine during the peak hours the situation might be different. There are no guided tours inside the castle, instead you get an audio guide (included in the ticket price) which was available in many languages (at least 15). The explanations were helpful, straight to the point and relatively short, so for me that was one of the best audio guide experience. It took us around 45 minutes to properly explore the castle. Normally castle is open until 17:00 but we were leaving the premises at around 17:15 and no one was pushing us out. It does indeed look magnificent as almost the whole castle is covered by huge rock. You get to explore many different rooms, some of them looking more like caves and others like actual livable rooms. There are some nice viewing points of the valley at several terraces located in the castle. It is definitely worth to visit as there are not many "cave castles" around the world! There are couple of restaurants in the proximity of the castle and restrooms near the parking lot.

Incredible!! For those who like historical places and medieval stuff, this place offer all of this! We were surprised by the place and the high level of preservation shown. Even the kids - that were naturally skeptical of the place - in the end had so much fun and appreciated very much the place, with the support of the audio guide!

Excellent visit for the day. The audio is really interesting informing you of the history. One of a kind and highly recommend. Restaurants/cafes before you get to the castle and toilets. 5euro parking for a car 10 for a camper van.

Great medieval castle with lots of authentic artifacts to examine and enjoy. Grab your complementary audio guide for excellent country of the Castle and it’s multiple rooms. There are quite a number of steep steps and uneven areas so some of the Castle can prove challenging for some visitors. It is also quite cold and damp in the castle’s and associated caves.
