Set atop Castle Hill (375 m), rising above downtown Ljubljana, is one of the city's most famous sites: Ljubljana Castle. The foundations stretch back to the 12th century but most buildings were erected in the 16th century. Walking around the castle grounds is free, but you’ll have to pay to enter the Watchtower and the Chapel of St George. There's a Slovenian History Exhibition which is well worth visiting too. The hill is leafy green and packed with trees, displaying wonderful views over the red roof-tops of the city. You can either take the funicular to the castle or walk from the town to the gates. The funicular tickets can be bought with your castle tickets for a three euro surcharge. Photo: Greenvalley Picture - Unsplash
