The Day

Trieste to Postojna Cave & Predjama Castle, how the day works

A cave and a castle a short drive over the border. The driver takes you to Postojna Cave, then Predjama Castle, waits at each stop, and brings you back to Trieste.

The route. Out of Trieste and onto the Slovenian A1 motorway to Postojna Cave, about 50 km and roughly 45 minutes, then about 10 km and roughly 15 minutes to Predjama. The loop is about 105 km and roughly 1h 50m of driving.

The places. The Postojna Cave tour includes a cave train ride and a walk along an easy footpath and takes an hour and a half, per the cave park. Predjama Castle has been perched in the middle of a 123-metre-high cliff for more than 800 years.

The pace. Short drives and two stops make this an unhurried day. The cave park itself suggests Predjama first and the cave in the afternoon; tell us if you prefer that order.

The stops

  1. Postojna Cave

    about 45 minutes from Trieste

    A guided tour with a 3.7 km underground train ride and a walk on an easy footpath, about an hour and a half in all. The cave stays at 10 °C, so bring a layer.

  2. Predjama Castle

    about 15 minutes from Postojna Cave

    A castle in the middle of a 123-metre-high cliff, there for more than 800 years. The castle is open year-round; the cave under it only from June to August, per the cave park. From here it is about 55 minutes back to Trieste.
