Ljubljana Castle - a former medieval military fortress, later a prison and then social housing - is today the most visited tourist destination in the country.

The number of visitors to the castle increased greatly with the installation of the funicular railway in 2006. Now between 2 to 4 thousand visitors visit the castle every day.

Two years ago a goal was set to attract one million visitors per year to the castle and it seems that this year it will be achieved.
