It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world's largest karst monuments. A fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls, the astonishing diversity of Karst features as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for such popularity of the cave and a large number of visitors. « less

A little zoo like but a real experience. The presentation was quick and professional. There is very little freedom to explore the cave. Everything is on a time table. In the summer it must be chaos.

Me and my housband went to caves on a stormy day, and we were blown away. What a scenery, the most scary was, when our guide turned off the lights in the middl of the caves. I had never seen such a pitch black night in my life, good experiance.... :)

We visited the caves with a group of ten (6 adults, 4 children), which left us more than 200 euro lighter for the steep entrance fee. The caves are beautiful. In the beginning the place was crowded - I guess more than one hundred fifty people were waiting at the starting point when the guided walking tour began but it... More

The caves are really impressive, but don't expect to go there in small group. They take you inside for 2 kilometers with a train and after separate the people by languages. I didn't take audioguide, but after see how it works i think it would be better. It's easy to walk there because there is concrete path. Don't forget to... More

We made a day trip from Ljubljana to visit Postojna cave. It's approximately 1 hr 20 minutes from Ljubljana train/bus station to Postojna. Remember that you will have to walk over 1.2 kms from the bus station in Postojna to the cave. Make sure you check schedule of"show time" on official website before you arrive so you won't waste too... More

The entrance is not exciting, but you get into a cute train car and travel underground. Then the beautiful sights appear! The cave is over 21 kilometers in length and the site is breath taking. There is a walking trail with a guide who explains the different types of stalagmites. The formations are beautifully lit. This is well worth a... More

Beautiful experience! Remarkable cave. Our kids are still talking about it 2 weeks later. Great package deal with Predjama castle! Unforgettable experience. Don't necessarily have to keep up with guides. Slow down and enjoy at your own pace.

Postojna Cave is, maybe, the top tourist site of Slovenia – a small European country, part of EU. It was part of Yugoslavia and now, after 20 years of independence, it is still associated with Slovakia – try to avoid this confusion. The cave was first visited by Francis I, the first Emperor of Austria, in 1918. It was opened... More

Unpleasant experience from Postojna Cave tours I am writing to make complaint against a male tour guide in name of "Gregor Valenčič" for his poor service manner against tourists. My wife and me visited Postojnska Jama cave on 14-09-2012 10:30 am. We met an Italian /English speaking tour guide who led the Italian speaking toursits, his name is Gregor Valenčič.... More
