Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle from Trieste

About this experience

KoperTrips.com runs this from central Trieste. The park points out that Postojna sits about as far from Trieste as from Ljubljana, so the drive is short. You get a driver-guide and transport, and the listing includes both entrance tickets. The cave comes first, then Predjama Castle, and the whole trip takes about five hours.

It works in three languages. You can book in English, Italian or German. The escort in the vehicle may speak only English on some days, but the listing says the guided visits in the cave and castle run in the language you booked, and those are led by the park's own guides. Cruise passengers can join too: send your ship name and times when you book.

Guests rate it 4.7 from 139 reviews and like the history on the drive. Two watch-outs: the cave walk is "fast paced" and often uphill, one guest with a knee injury wrote, and the bus may stop for other pickups along the way. The exact pickup time and place arrive the day before.

  • Both entrance tickets included
  • Departs from central Trieste
  • Bookable in English, Italian or German
  • Cruise passengers welcome with ship details
  • About five hours door to door

We had a great tour thanks to Stephan. The sights were amazing and he also took good care of us. A small group and lots of information but friendly, polite and not rushed.

Amazing experience at both the castle and cave. Castle is even more impressive in person with lots on exhibit and overall grandeur. Cave has an amazing variety of formations with many great photo ops.

Tips before you book

  • Bring a jacket. Guests in a summer heat wave still needed it in the 10°C cave.
  • Wear sports shoes: the listing recommends them, and the cave path climbs 200 m at a 20% gradient.
  • Cruise passengers: give your ship name and arrival and departure times as soon as you book.
  • Expect a few pickups along the way before you leave Trieste.
