Culture is slowly returning to the streets of Slovenia and its capital Ljubljana is more than eager to welcome visitors thirsty for a spiritual experience.

Other castle features that will also be accessible include the Penitentiary, the Pentagonal Tower, "S" Gallery, Castle Armoury. The catering facilities and the wine shop, however, will remain closed.
