The Ljubljana Castle Time Machine takes visitors on a journey through the Slovenian capital’s past. The tour takes place at Ljubljana Castle and includes a visit to the castle’s Outlook Tower, a virtual tour of the castle’s history, and a tour of the castle’s permanent exhibition on Slovenian history. On the tour, visitors are met with characters such as a Roman priest, Emperor Frederick III of Habsburg, and a nun; all three introduce the most important periods of Ljubljana’s history.
