We went to visit as a family and our kids (10 and 12 years old) were very interested in the tour, and kids nowadays arent easily impressed. Audio guide (free) allows you to explore the place at your own tempo, which is great. A castle is a magical place where humans and nature shared its best to create a really unique place. We are definitely planning to come again at spring and visit the surroundings. I recommend coming to a castle at opening hour to find a parking space easily and avoid the crowd.

A castle that will take you back in time. From individual rooms, people, corridors, damp walls... everything is very authentic. At the entrance, you get a small device with which you click/scan points during the tour, so you can listen to short stories in your own or another language about the current location you are at in the castle. Something that every castle should have because the stories are much easier to remember than what you read before or after visiting the castle. We were here in January so it was quite cold outside and even colder and more humid in the castle. I recommend you dress warmly.

First of this is a site for the eyes,just amazing. If you elect to go in it is 17e. The castle inside is very spartan and if you visit on a cold day be prepared. There are several restaurants near the parking just before you go to the castle. That area is also where you buy your ticket. There are at least 4 small parking lots near the church and resteraunts. If you need a toilet at all on this visit they are in the parking lot. If you go in the castle also carry on into the caves from the inside of the castle as there are rooms in their including armour

Beautiful Castle embedded in a cliff. Visited with a large group of friends and we were pleasantly surprised. It is like being in another era and it does take you back in time as very old but well preserved. We used the audio guides to listen to stories about the castle and you don’t really need a guide as you can explore on your own and at your own pace. You just need to get transport there. There were so many rooms with interesting things to see and you can also climb a very steep staircase to the top and see the whole country side. It’s very unique and stunning despite it’s age and the photos taken from the outside were amazing! .Highly recommended!

Well, it goes without saying that you don’t see a castle sticking out the side of a mountain, even in Europe. Yet there it is. Even if you never stepped inside, it would be worth the trip to just gawk at it from the outside. There are things you forget on trips. This one makes an indelible mark on your mind. There’s not a huge amount to see inside, short of the structure, itself, which is reasonably large and the views from various lookouts, but the whole experience is so neat and fascinating that you are delighted you came. It’s also a great learning activity. The overall story of the place was extremely interesting. All sites you visit try to make it seem that way, but some actually are, inherently so. This is one of them. The other visitors there were clearly having a hoot and it’s hard to imagine that you won’t feel the same visiting here. Coming to Postojna and not seeing the cave and this is trip malpractice.

Incredible castle built within the rock of the mountain ! i have never seen anything like it ! Crazy atmosphere and great stories. Good audioguide around the castle. On the négative side : an outrageous 18,50€ per person to visit the place !!!! And another 10€ for 2 hours of parking ! We did not visit the caves ( it’s usually a combined ticked) due to lack of time. It’s a true rip off, being European, that kind of price is very rare, and uncalled for. Especially while we know for a fact that the same castle ( as reviewed on trip advisor) rises their price 2€ / year.

Unique castle, amazing visit, interesting historical facts:) Easy to get there by public transport ( shuttle cost 1€)from Postojna jama. The shuttle departs every hour to the castle and back to Postojna cave. The bus to Ljubljana departs only 3 times per day, also 4 trains from Postojna train station.

Very unique castle and quite impressive to learn of its history. Easy audio guide. Interesting walk inside visiting different parts of the castle. Beautiful view from the terrace. Best to take the combo package with the cave. Also use the cheap shuttle bus option from the cave to avoid congestion and extra cost at parking here. Can be very crowded during summer so be patient while walking inside.

Unreal!!!! How can humans build this? The castle in a cave is so strange but makes perfect sense if you lived in a time when people kill each other with spears and swords. The guided path is manageable. Food outside the cold castle was an excellent trip aa well.

We visited the Predjama castle in combination with the Postojna Cave and would definitely recommend getting the combo tickets which are especially for young people or students a great deal. We would actually suggest going to Predjama first and then visiting the caves as the caves are less crowded in the afternoon and the busses back to the central point are getting rare in the late afternoon. It was a magical experience and you get a free audio guide with your entrance ticket. The castle is stunning and the way the history has been made accessed is great. As the steps in the castle are ofen steep or even dangerous i wouldn’t suggest going with kids that are too young. Otherwise, great experience and lovely scenery.
