Ljubljana has an incredible castle and many amazing churches. We could see the castle from our hotel room.
We got up to the castle by taking our second funicular. The ride was beautiful and the view of the castle was amazing. It was the first castle that I had ever seen. The clock tower was beautiful and we got to go up to the top of it to see the view.
