 Ljubljana Castle Apr 19, 2009
Really beautiful castle! When we went it was free, but I think there is a little train you can take around that costs money. There is a movie in the tower that is 3D and pretty hilarious to watch so I would reccomend it.

It's a bit of a walk to hike up the hill where the castle is, and there isn't a whole lot to see once you get to the top, but Ljubljana Castle is well worth visiting for the great views of the city itself. Once you get to the top, you have a 360 degree view of the city, and it is probably one of the more charming cityscapes around.
One thing that I thought was pretty cool: while admiring the view, somebody asked the tour guide "Why aren't there any houses on the hills? In America those would be the most expensive houses and have the best views!" The tour guide responded that the hills looked prettier without houses on them, and as such they didn't build houses on them! Don't know if that's true or not, but it makes for a good story, and illustrates a different way of looking at things.  Part of the Eastern Europe 2006 travel blog

We could see the castle overlooking the city on top of a hill in the center, so we headed towards that and give it a seeing too on the tourist must-do list. The route to the castle from the station was okay, but got even better when… Ljubljana and Postojna, Slovenia |

Overlooking the bridge is the castle and there was a funicular which we took to get up there (around €4 each - but includes return journey and entrance to castle which I found out is free anyway!) Up we went in the funicular and after disembarking, we were in the courtyard… Ljubljana, Kranj & Podnart, Slovenia |

…sLOVEnia on it, it was wicked and we spent days searching every store we found looking for them, but no luck L
Bled has another big castle on top of the cliff, so got up real early in the morning and made our way up there, and thankfully it was a beautiful day so we had a great view of the Alps in the distance, much better than our last castle… FEEL THE sLOVEnia… |

We started the morning by catching the funicular up to Ljubljana Castle. Unfortunatley it didnt quite live up to my expectations as the viewing tower which is meant to offer breathtaking views of the city was closed for renovation as was some other sections of the castle. The castle is situated on a hill in the middle… Fairytale city |
