Slovenia · CITY TOURS
Ljubljana is the one city most visitors get, and two hours with a guide changes what the rest of the week looks like. The 11 below cover the walks, the boat and the funicular combinations, priced and timed.
Use the Ljubljana Card for 24, 48, or 72 hours of city sightseeing. You get Ljubljana Castle, more than 20 museums and galleries, a guided walking tour, river cruise, city buses, four-hour bike hire, the castle funicular, and Snovik Spa. Pick up the card at the designated counter and activate it on first use.

“Onze lokale gids Mattei wist de geschiedenis van de stad heel aangenaam te combineren met veel interessante weetjes in een mooi samenhangend verhaal waar 3 tieners 4u lang naar geluisterd hebben zonder zich te vervelen tijdens de stadswandeling. De gids speelde heel erg in op onze interesses en beantwoordde moeiteloos alle vragen. Heel aangename manier om Ljubljana te ontdekken! 4u is wel zeer ruim, als je het kasteel nog apart bezoekt.”
