We booked a 2 day card. Unfortunately neither digital card arrived by email, so we had to visit the helpful Tourist Information Centre to get paper copies. We visited the Zoo (using free bus travel with card), Castle (including free Funicular ride), Chocolarium, River cruise, Guided tour, and City Museum. Great value for money to see the best of a lovely city
Good value. However extremely poor information about what is included. Especially deficient in details about how to access tourist boats and included city tour. Perhaps if you buy the card at the tourist information center this information might be available. However, if you buy the card online or other sites, there is no information I’ve had to access the guided tours. The card is a very good value if you visit museums. However, if you plan to take a boat tour, guided city tour, or rent a bike, you’ll be sorely disappointed in trying to figure out how to accomplish these things.
I tried using the Ljubljana tourist card, which I bought a week ago, today and it did not work at all. I tried to use it in the bus and the machine refused to scan the QR code for 2 minutes so I gave up and paid it myself. I went to the Tourist Center to ask them for help and why this happened but they said that this QR code was the card itself so it should work. Then I tried using it at the Ljubljana castle and it did not work again. Their machine refused to accept the QR code. Thankfully, the receptionist called someone for help and let me in. This repeated for the next 3 museums I went to today. I showed the QR code and the machine showed an X but the receptionists of all places let me in as I showed proof of payment and the correct date. When I went back to my accommodation, once again the bus refused to scan the QR code so I had to pay 1.50 euros again. The unlimited bus trips were then a lie and it was only due to the hospitality of the receptionists and my own diligence in having proof that I could go to the museums today. I even bought a 48 hour card and I do not know if I can do the same thing tomorrow as I did today... The card itself is definitely disappointing...
Excellent experience. Had no trouble activating the card in the city center tourist location. They already had an envelope with my name on it and all kinds of info. Did a lot in 2 days and saved quite a bit of money.
According to the Visit Ljubljana site, if buying the card online, a 10% discount applies. The price on the site does show a discount. However, when going through the purchase process, no discount appears to be applied. the card. The site indicates 44 euros but the price comes out at 49 euros (for 48 hours). Has anyone been able to obtain the discounted price?
Bought a 48 hour card to use at weekend ( lots of attractions closed on Mondays). Card does not start till is activated so can be bought in advance from Tourist Information Centres etc. It saved us at least double what we paid, as we crammed many things in and used the opportunities for free travel on local buses and the electric tourist transport. We tried a range of places to go - some we may not have considered had it not been advertised in the deal. Sign posts for The Chocolate Museum would have been helpful as it is in quite an obsure location but worth pursuing.
As it says it’s a comprehensive card that allows you to be able to do so many activities within days without feeling the needs to book for something additionally unless needed. My partner and I did like it.
Would thoroughly recommend the Visit Ljubljana tourist card. Excellent value for money, with so many things included. The first thing we did was the historical walking tour; our guide was Urban, a truly charismatic individual, who made our tour (only 3 of us) really memorable. We spent 2 hours walking around the city, and learning loads about Slovenian culture and history; a perfect introduction! Lots of laughs along the way! We also visited the castle via the funicular ride, which was absolutely amazing in its Christmas glory, we spent a morning out at the zoo, which we thought was very well maintained (a couple of sad sights, particularly the bear), we used public transport a few times, did the Plecnik house (fantastic tour guide, Vide, and also really helpful receptionist; thank you both for helping us with bus information), several art galleries, and a river cruise! So much we didn’t get round to doing but the card can certainly be used to great value. A really special thanks again to Urban, who made our introduction to Slovenia really special. Thank you to all at Visit Ljubljana Tourist Information for looking after us when we arrived. A brilliant experience.
Upon arrival day we went to TIC where we bought the 3days LJU card for 49 Euro/pp. The friendly and knowledgeable young lady at TIC activated the card just before we took the incl. City walking tour/90min, which was in fact kind of private tour because we, as couple, were the only participants 😉 City tour was very interesting, excellent guide (Ana Maria?), plenty of information and also hints about restaurants, shops etc (would have costed 17 Euro/pp). The funicular ride (both ways) & full entry to the castle are also incl. in the card advantages (would have costed 16 Euro/pp). National museum of Slovenia (history&nature) was very interesting, incl. with card,otherwise 12 Euro pp The panoramic boat ride was very enjoyable, included/otherwise 14 Euro/pp Urban electric tram incl.otherwise 10 pp, was however a disappointment. The only terrible incl.visit (otherwise 10 pp), was the zoo 😱, it was heartbreaking to witness the animal abuse! Poor elephant, bears etc LPP city public transport is also incl. in the LJU card whic is a good deal/bargain and to recommend 🌞 With the card you can enjoy hassle free vacation ... visits, and you save money! Ljubljana is a gem of a city, so much to enjoy and to discover 🏞🏰
It was dificlut to activate I was at the visit Ljubljana centre and they can t activate the card. Is not working on bus, they charged me extra. I think the card is overpriced
Amazing experience. Used it for so many things. For transport as well. Recommended. Cover all museums
Tanja was super nice and gave a lovely tour of the city. She was very helpful and was happy to answer any questions. Would recommend!
We are really pleased that we got the Ljubljana card because it meant we made the most of our visit. We went to the tourist information centre as soon as we arrived, we bought a 48 hour card and booked onto one of the activities so that we could activate the card and then immediately use it to get to our accomodation to check in ( it doesn't activate immediately on public transport but this method worked). We did the following activities with our card in addition to using it for all our public transport. Walking tour of the city - excellent Zoo - excellent Electric train - poor Bike hire - excellent Boat trip - good Castle and funicular railway - excellent We started with the electric train which enabled us to get our bearings but was slow and tedious and the headphones/ sound worked intermittently. ( This is my only negative experience if the card). The train could do with an update of its audio tour which felt very much like a promotional advertisement for the other attractions. We were grateful when the driver stopped so we could get off and not get back on again ( it only made two stops near the beginning and then didn't stop at the remaining scheduled stops or we would have bailed earlier). However, we really enjoyed everything else that was on offer. The walking tour was the stand-out excellent experience on the card and our tour guide combined historical knowledge with a warm and entertaining style, meaning that we felt we really got to know Ljubljana as a result of doing the tour. We finished the tour at the castle, so did that next ( the tour included the funicular so we ended up being able to do that twice). The castle is an interesting place to explore and we also enjoyed the views while we had a picnic. We had some time left at the end of the day so took a bus to the Oo where we very much enjoyed seeing the animals until it torrentially rained which brought our visit to a hasty end ( there were places to hide from rain but it was nearly closing time anyway) The second day we hired bikes and found the cyanometer and enjoyed the park and followed that with a boat tour. The boat tour was enjoyable but lacked shade so was a little longer than we wished in the heat of the day. All in all we got to know this lovely town much better than we would have done without the card. Really fabulous 48 hours!
That the Ljubljana Card covered so many things under one entity. Not enough tome to use them all! From transportation, airport transfers, electric train, river tour, city tour, & museums, so much was covered under one fee.
I was only able to use this card on the 2nd Day because of Air Serbia flight delay Is there a way for me to get a refund For the first day. I would have graded 5 Star if I was able to use it maximally for 2 days. Thanks
I bought the 3 day (72 hour) card on my first morning in the city. There is so much you can do with it you definitely get your moneys worth. If your hotel is a little further from the city center, you get free bus travel with the card (the map is in the back of the brochure they give you), which saves you from walking, especially if its rainy, or extremely warm/sunny. There's a huge amount of attractions you can visit. It is definitely worth checking the website first, just to make sure they're open when you're visiting, as I saw that some were closed on Sundays and Mondays. Also, take advantage of the walking tour and the electric city train. These are great for seeing the city, especially when you first arrive, and give great ideas of where you could spend more time later in your trip. There's a great selection of museums as well, especially the National Museum of Contemporary History and the House of Illusions. On the 3 days, I only spent 2 in Ljubljana (1 in Bled), but I still felt that I got more than my money's worth. I would definitely recommend.
My wife and I bought the card while staying in Ljubljana and it was definitely worth the money. We would have spent a lot more on individual tickets if we didn't have it.
Zahlt sich definitiv aus, da viele Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie alle Buslinien inkludiert sind- die Aktivierung erfolgt problemlos bei der ersten Anwendung- unserer Meinung nach gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis-sehr zu empfehlen
Incredibly clever concept. You buy a card that gives you access to many different things in the city - around 30 different activities/attractions. We saved a lot of money buying this card. How exciting each attraction is varies, but the card (which came with a brochure) gave a good overview of the various offers, and where they are located in the city.
I ordered the card for Thursday to Saturday. I was in Ljubjana a day earlier and that's why I tried to change or cancel my card on Tuesday afternoon, so it could be used for Wednesday to Friday. Constantly your site crashed and so I could do. Friday I wanted to take the bus from the bus station to the airport and both at the ticket desk and the bus driver indicated that I could not use the card for that. Eventually I had to buy a new ticket for this ride. All in all I was unable to do anything with the ticket and it was wasted money. I'm done with all those great commercials of yours. Paying, but getting nothing. At least I'm not arranging anything through your company anymore.
The included boat trip is not recommended by the tourist center, only on multiple request we have been described the right way. In the castle you have to pay 5 euros for the audio guide. We could not use the Wi-Fi. For a day or two, I don't think the card will pay off.
We took Lubjana Card for 72 hours which we could use 3 and a half days because we activated it in the afternoon of the first day and then we could enter the spa on the 4th day. Definitely worth a lot more than it costs even though we could not visit everything that was included. Probably boat rides are to be avoided because they are just anonymous, without audio guide and there is not much to see ..
