Predjama Castle is a castle in Slovenia. It is near the small village of Predjama. Built in 1274 at the mouth of cave, it was extended over the next three hundred years to what is there today. The cave system the castle is built into has an entry/exit above and below the castle. The castle is visually stunning and viewing it is certainly a WOW moment - the history and displays I’m the castle are excellent and it is well worth the visit. It costs 12 Euros to enter the castle.

This is just an amazing castle …. A dream place full of adventures and surprises in side … bring comfortable shoes and with some grip this place is natural wet … there is not lifts…. The castle is full of hidden corners that takes you to a nice natural cave. You need a car or a tourist bus to reach this place . You must pay for parking per hour. The castle is in the world Guiness records of the largest castle built on a cave. They have audio Guia in many languages. People were polite and nice.

One of the most beautiful castles.i have visited. Really worth visiting it. Impressive, in an amazing area . We had tickets also for the cave, so we had a small discount. I didn't like that you paid both parkings (for the cave and then for the castle) and you didn't have choice to park somewhere else. Also the tickets were expensive. Despite of these , I believe that it worths.

Home many times are you going to see a castle built into a cave/hillside? Not only are the cave walls part of the walls of some of the rooms, but they also designed it and built channels to funnel the water inside the cave to collection points for usage. It's just so cool. The ingenuity of the place is fascinating well beyond the visual of it. Which is also cool. The museum inside is interesting as you follow the numbers through. Definitely get the audio guide here as you would miss so much otherwise. It can get pretty tight inside at times as this was not designed for large amounts of people at once and there are many areas that can be a little tricky to get around. Like the very uneven and tall steps cut out of rock that can be wet and slippery from water in the cave as they steeply wind up to a small lookout that dozens of people are trying to traverse at once. The best views are from outside, looking at the castle but you need to go in to experience this.

This is one of our favorite castles in Europe so far. We visited as a family of 5 with kids aged between 11-18. Our ticket was part of a combo ticket with the Postojna Cave. We spent €186 for entry to both and for an English audio guide at the cave. When you get to Predjama, you park in a paid lot and walk up a steep but short path to the castle. There are bathrooms and snack options leading to the castle. Once at the entry, there is a QR code to download the app which has the audio tour. There were about 27 listening stops in the tour. We LOVED the tour. It was so interesting and it was easy to imagine what it may have been like to live there. There were a lot of stairs in the tour so beware and take your ibuprofen in advance if your knees aren’t agreeable. We spent about an hour exploring. Make sure to make a wish and ring the bell!

Audio guide was filled with interesting facts and stories, but not too long for a child (8) to listen and pay attention. The castle is just so stunning it's easily worth the trouble of getting there! Also, we had some nice home food with a good price in a restaurant in front of the castle. Would definitely recommend!

Along with the nearby caves, we thought this would be a good rainy day alternative. Going inside is quite worthwhile, actually, no matter what a certain expert on Europe may claim. Is it the best castle in the world? No. But going inside gives you an appreciation of how it's built into the cave. The architectural features make it unique.

I am more inclined to visit nature than churches, castles, etc. With that said, this castle was one of the highlights of our trip and I am so happy we went inside. The audioguide shares interesting stories and facts about the castle, we really listened to every single one. It is fun to walk the whole castle. I would definitely recommend visiting.

We weren’t sure what to expect with this visit to a UNESCO listed cave castle but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. An audio guide was included with our admission ticket and there were clear numbers for each room so you got the information for the correct area. To further enhance this, the descriptions, whilst thorough, were short so you weren’t standing around waiting for it to finish before moving on. The way they set it out meant you almost went in a circle rather than continually doubling back. Some of the stairs were steep so it is not recommended for people with mobility issues.

A small, but well presented attraction well worth the detour to see. Well interpreted and discreet staff will help and assist with any questions etc. Great photo opportunities. If you are pressed for time do this instead of the Postojna Cave nearby its far better experience.
