About Ljubljana Castle

A hilltop fortress above the city center accessible by funicular, on foot through forested paths, or by cobblestone road. The 12th-century castle's tower offers the finest panoramic view of Ljubljana and the Julian Alps on clear days. The virtual castle museum inside is surprisingly well-designed.
