Travel guide

Get in

By car, Postojna is less than one hour west of Ljubljana on the A1 highway. There are also train and bus connections with Ljubljana. The train station is about 2km (20min walk) from the caves, while the bus station is even closer. The bus from Ljubljana AP that goes directly to the caves leaves 3 times a day at 8:15, 11:30, and 12:00 and costs €5.30 each way.

Get around

A shuttle bus runs between the train station, Postojna Caves and the Predjama Castle in part of the year. Check with the Postojna's Tourist Information Centre or website of Park Postojna Jama for the timetable . The caves are a short walk from the bus station. The castle is 9 km away and a difficult walk up hill along a windy road with no foot paths (it is quite picturesque though). Driving is the easiest route but hitchhiking may also be possible during tourist season. The ticket office at Postojna caves can arrange taxi rides - €15 each way (July 2023).

The main attractions of the area are all run by the same agency. The prices below are if you tour each attraction separately. Some of the attractions can be bundled together to reduce the cost of admission -- the Visitor's Information Center at the Postojna Caves have more information.

The whole area is littered with various faults/caves due to the carst landscape:

Eat

As of 2007 a 2-course meal for two with a drink each in a nice restaurant can cost between €20 and €40, for a 3-course meal add another €5 to €15. Fast food or a quick sandwich can be €3 to €7 per person. There are several restaurants and cafes by the caves and the castle.

Sleep

Hotels around Postojna cost €60 to €100 per night for two people staying in a double room in a 3-star hotel. There are no 4-star (or higher) hotels in the region (as of 2007). The prices for hostels are significantly lower. Some hotels publish their prices per person but rather than per room, thus if you want to book a double room you may be quoted a price of €35, which means the room actually costs €70 per night for two people staying in it (2 x €35 = €70).
