About This Tour

This Postojna Cave, Predjama Castle and Piran day trip from Ljubljana covers three of Slovenia’s best-known sights in one day: a castle built into a cliff, a huge cave system and a small town on the Adriatic coast. It suits travelers without a car, or anyone who doesn’t want to plan transport, tickets and timing on their own. A guide and driver handle all of it.

The stops

  • Predjama Castle (1 hour): Known as the world’s largest cave castle, it sits in the mouth of a cave halfway up a tall cliff. You walk through its rooms and passages and hear the medieval legends connected to it. Entry is included.
  • Postojna Cave (1 hour 30 minutes): A small underground train takes you deep into the cave. Then you walk through halls full of stalactites and stalagmites, and the train brings you back out. Entry is included.
  • Piran (3 hours): The last stop is a coastal town with Venetian architecture, narrow cobblestone streets and a seafront promenade. A short walking tour gives you the background. After that the time is yours for lunch, a walk by the sea or the climb up to the church.

What past travelers say

Past travelers say the day is well organized and the time at each stop feels right, including enough time to see Piran. Several mention that lunch only happens around 2 pm, so it helps to bring a snack for the morning.

How is this different from a Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle tour?

This tour adds about three hours in Piran on the Adriatic coast, with a short walking tour and free time. So you see the caves, the castle and the sea in one trip, but the day is longer, about 10.5 hours.

It can be. Postojna is one of the most visited sights in Slovenia, and past travelers mention that the walking paths inside get busy. Expect to move with other groups for part of the visit.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour needs good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you get a different date or a full refund. The same applies if the minimum number of travelers isn’t reached.

What is the cancellation policy?

  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time, with a full refund.
  • No refund if you cancel less than 24 hours before.
