This one literally translates to \u201cpre-cave castle\u201d, because it\u2019s perched at the mouth of a cave within a giant cliff. According to the Guinness Book of Records, the Predjama Castle is\u00a0the largest of its kind in the world<\/strong>. This medieval masterpiece was home to Slovenia\u2019s Robin Hood, Erasmus of Lueg, a 15th\u00a0century robber baron who constructed a network of underground tunnels to help supply the castle in times of sieges.\r\n\r\nTravelling the Slovenian Karst, your next stop will be\u00a0Postojna Cave<\/strong>. This natural wonder is famous for its unbelievably beautiful cave formations in the form of dripstones, underground halls and passages. People have been visiting Postojna Cave for over\u00a0200 hundred years<\/strong>, making it one of the oldest show caves with the world\u2019s first underground railway. On entering the cave, you will board a little train that takes you deep into this magnificent subterranean spectacle. You then proceed to explore the cave\u2019s miracles on foot. Postojna Cave is also home to a species called proteus, an indigenous creature also known as the human fish and lovingly dubbed the\u00a0\u201cbaby dragon\u201d<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nThe afternoon will be reserved for\u00a0Ljubljana<\/strong>, one of Europe\u2019s smallest capitals, a beautiful vibrant city that you will fall in love with instantly. Declared the Green Capital of Europe in 2016, Ljubljana\u2019s centre is restricted to traffic, which makes strolling down its cobbled streets incredibly enjoyable.\u00a0The Old Town<\/strong>\u00a0is adorned by Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture, including the stunning creations by the internationally acclaimed architect Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik, who embellished this subalpine gem with the fascinating\u00a0Triple Bridge<\/strong>, a covered riverside marketplace and even pyramids. Ljubljana is steeped with history stretching back to Roman times. Its strategic trading position has contributed to the city\u2019s colourful diversity for centuries. Present-day Ljubljana will enchant you with its\u00a0rich cultural heritage and laidback character<\/strong>\u00a0on every step of your guided tour, giving you a taste of Slovenia in a nutshell.","price":"From 239\u20ac\/person","hide_price":false,"highlights_new":"World-famous Postojna Cave\r\n\r\nGuiness record Predjama Castle\r\n\r\nUnique Slovenian Karst\r\n\r\nPre\u0161eren Square, the main square in Ljubljana\r\n\r\nCongress Square, meeting point of culture, history, and education\r\n\r\nLjubljana\u2019s historical old town\r\n\r\nCentral market, one of the largest markets in Europe","included_new":"English speaking guide\r\n\r\nComfortable Transportation\r\n\r\nAll parking fees and toll charges","not_included_new":"","other_information_new":"","important_for_the_tour":[{"add_important_for_the_tour":"Difficulty: Moderate (1.5km walking through Postojna Cave + around 200 steps in Predjama Castle)"},{"add_important_for_the_tour":"The temperature in the cave is 10C, so make sure you are dressed properly"},{"add_important_for_the_tour":"Please bring your passport"},{"add_important_for_the_tour":"Snacks and beverages are not included"},{"add_important_for_the_tour":"Shared group trip of max 8 people"},{"add_important_for_the_tour":"Private tour available with extra charge"},{"add_important_for_the_tour":"Minimum number of guests applies"},{"add_important_for_the_tour":"The trip is conducted in English, Spanish guide available with extra charge"}],"faq":[{"faq_question":"Where do we meet for the day trip?","faq_answer":"Our pickup and drop-off location that we use in Zagreb is the bus station. In case you would like to be picked up \/ dropped off at a different location, we can accommodate that at a surcharge."},{"faq_question":"Is there lunch at a restaurant or do I have to bring my own?","faq_answer":"You have the option of both. We have a time slot reserved for lunch on each tour, always somewhere with (usually local) restaurants handy. That said, you can always pack your own picnic lunch and eat it wherever and whenever you like. This might sometimes even save time in order to fit a bit of extra sightseeing into your day."},{"faq_question":"How fit do I need to be for Ljubljana & Postojna cave trip from Zagreb?","faq_answer":"The best thing about our day trips is that they can be tailored to your own level of fitness. Most of the tours are designed with different activities available, so the choice is entirely yours. Please consult the difficulty section under a specific day trip to see what the difficulty level of the tour and particular activity is."},{"faq_question":"I am travelling on a budget - what if I can\u2019t afford all the extras?","faq_answer":"Don\u2019t worry. Our day trips are planned with everyone in mind. If you find an entrance fee too expensive, or you are unsure if you are willing to spend so much of your budget on entrance fees, our guides will always have some free alternatives ready for you.

It is your holiday, after all! As long as you respect the group timings and locations designated by your guide, please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure!"},{"faq_question":"What should I wear on Ljubljana & Postojna day trip? Do I have to bring anything with me?","faq_answer":"It is important to dress for the season. Slovenia has all 4 seasons, so please check the weather forecast before the day trip regarding temperatures and rainfall. When you are close to the Alps, the weather can change fairly quickly, so your best bet is to always bring an extra layer. We recommend shoes you will be comfortable in. If you are visiting caves, please remember that the caves are cold in the summer, as the cave temperature is constant throughout the year."},{"faq_question":"I have food restrictions. Are there restaurants for me?","faq_answer":"It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Slovenia, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note, that the places where we stop off at for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind."},{"faq_question":"How do the \u201cextras\u201d work?","faq_answer":"There is so much to do in Slovenia, so we wanted to give you the option of choosing exactly how you would like to spend your time here.
