Predjama Castle Tour

The Predjama Castle towers above the surrounding area in the idyllic village of Predjama, a mere nine kilometres from Postojna Cave.

Access and Parking

You will reach the castle by a local road. There is a payable car park in front of the castle and holders of combo tickets to Postojna Cave and the Predjama Castle can also use a shuttle bus between the two attractions, which is available in high season. Another option for the transport between Postojna Cave and the Predjama Castle is the taxi service – the staff at the Postojna Cave Park ticket office will be happy to help you arrange it.

No dogs or other pets are allowed inside the castle. 

Cave under Predjama Castle

From May to September, you can also visit the picturesque Cave under Predjama Castle. A tour of both of the cave's upper levels takes around 45 minutes and is easy enough to be done by children from the age of six. Other floors of the second largest Slovenian show cave can be toured by more experienced cavers as part of adventure caving tours.

Owing to its location and pleasant temperatures, the Cave under Predjama Castle features some interesting inhabitants – a colony of bats. During the bats' hibernation period, visitors are not allowed to enter the cave.
