About This Tour

This Postojna Cave and Bled tour with tickets covers three of Slovenia’s best-known sights in one long day from Ljubljana. Entry to Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle and Bled Castle is included, so there are no ticket lines to deal with. It suits travelers with only a day or two in Slovenia who want to see the main highlights without renting a car.

Stops on the Day

  • Postojna Cave (about 1.5 hours): an electric train takes you deep into one of Europe’s largest show caves, then you walk past halls full of stalactites and stalagmites.
  • Predjama Castle (about 45 minutes): a medieval castle built into the mouth of a cave in a cliff. An audio guide tells its story as you walk through.
  • Bled Castle (about 1.5 hours): the castle sits on a rock high above the lake and has the classic view over Lake Bled and the island.
  • Lake Bled (about 2.5 hours): free time in town and by the water. A slice of traditional Bled cream cake is included. In summer you can bring a swimsuit and take a dip.

What Past Travelers Say

Reviews and rating from Viator & Tripadvisor

Rated 4.9 out of 5 (88 reviews)

A must highlights tour!

This was a great tour start to finish. Early pickup and long day, but really informative and friendly driver Barbara made the trip even more enjoyable. Three amazing visits in one tour!

February get away

A full day of activities, with a fantastic tour guide who put the group at ease by being very accommodating and relaxed. My wife and I travelled during the winter months but despite the rain and cloud, it was a fun experience. The tour guide had umbrellas to offer if needed and allowed flexibility when we arrived in Bled.

Great experience

Luka was excellent guide. He gave us amazing amount of information not only about places we visited, but also about Ljubljana and Slovenia. All places is worth visiting. And one can swim in lake Bled even if it is not summer.
