On February 8, the day commemorating the poet France Prešeren, Ljubljana Castle will host a rich cultural program. Castle guides will share stories woven through the centuries, and visitors can enjoy free guided tours as well as explore the permanent exhibitions: Slovenian History, Castle Armory, and the Museum of Puppetry. Guests can also climb the Viewing Tower, watch a 4D animated film in the Virtual Castle, and experience a new spatial projection When Illustrations Come Alive in the castle Casemates.
