A nice “old town” that is great to explore. The Škofja Loka Castle took me 3 hours ( I’m a geek). The women at the ticket desk are amazingly informative and friendly. There are quite a few vignettes.... more

Unlike Ljubljana castle, this has been preserved in an authentic manner. The museum is interesting, diverse and cultural. Much better than the one on Ljubljana

The castle is in the beautiful village of Skofa Loka which is full of wonderful buildings, situated along a clean wide river. The castle is very scenic from the outside and has a good value café where I had a delicious homemade lemonade. There are plenty of places to eat in the village too and shops, both tourist and regular. The village and the castle are well worth a visit. It is easy to get too, about an hour or so by bus from Ljubljana.

Great venue for events. Open space, secluded and offers a feeling of privacy. It is easily accessible, 10 minute walk from BUS stop. (although the castle is on a hill top). Škofja Loka itself is a "work of art". I recommend a visit.

Very good exhibitions and some effort has been put into the restoration of this castle by professionals.
