Excellent value for money
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
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with the Ljubljana Card. We are happy to hear that our Tourist Information Centre team could help and that you enjoyed so many highlights, from the Zoo and Castle to the river cruise, guided tour and museums. Just to clarify, Ljubljana Cards purchased on Viator are issued as physical cards, with pickup at our Tourist Information Centre. We are glad the card offered great value for your two days in Ljubljana.

Good value but incredible lack of information how to access many of the benefits.
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.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you found the Ljubljana Card good value, especially for museum visits. For cards purchased online via www.visitljubljana.com, the confirmation email with the QR codes for the valid Ljubljana Card product also includes a link to the digital booklet with detailed instructions. We are sorry if this information was not easy to notice, and we will review how to make it more visible.

Ljubljana Tourist Card Did Not Work
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...
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your experience. The voucher purchased via Tiqets is not the Ljubljana Tourist Card itself and needs to be exchanged for a physical card at a Tourist Information Centre before use. We understand how this may not have been clear enough during your visit, which led to the inconvenience you experienced when trying to use the QR code. That said, our team at the Tourist Information Centre should have recognized the situation and assisted you more proactively. We sincerely apologize for this and are reinforcing our staff training to ensure clearer guidance and better support in the future. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us improve the experience for all visitors.

Ljubljana Tourist Card
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.
Response from the operator: So nice to hear your experience was smooth from the start and that the envelope with your name made things easy. Sounds like you really made the most of your two days and the savings too. We’d love to see you back for more discoveries next time!

Struggling to obtain 10% discount
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?
Response from the operator: Dear Patrick, Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. We understand how confusing it must have been to see a discount mentioned but not applied during your purchase. It seems that the information you found was on a page that is part of our website archive and no longer reflects our current offers. The 10% online discount for the Ljubljana Card hasn’t been available since 2019, and we’re sorry this outdated info caused frustration. We truly hope you still enjoyed exploring Ljubljana and that the card helped you make the most of your visit. If you're able to share the link to the page where you saw the discount mentioned, we’d greatly appreciate it. We can be contacted at info@visitljubljana.si and it will help us update or remove the outdated content to prevent future confusion. Thanks again for your comment, and we hope to welcome you back to Ljubljana someday!

See everything Ljubljana Tourism runsWhy this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ljubljana Tourist Card: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ljubljana.
How much does Ljubljana Tourist Card cost?
+
Prices start at $54 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ljubljana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ljubljana Tourist Card take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ljubljana is not rushed.
Is Ljubljana Tourist Card worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ljubljana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ljubljana Tourist Card?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ljubljana Tourist Card suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ljubljana Tourist Card?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ljubljana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ljubljana and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ljubljana Tourist Card start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ljubljana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ljubljana?
+
On Outty we rank every Ljubljana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Slovenia in One Day: Small-Group Bled, Postojna Cave & Predjama, Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle - Entrance Tickets Included, Ljubljana Small Group Food Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ljubljana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ljubljana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ljubljana Tourist Card?
+
Included: Entrance fees to major Museums and Galleries; LPP bus transport in Ljubljana - unlimited; Boat ride on Ljubljanica river; Ljubljana Bike - 4 hours free rental (from april to october); and Sightseeing tour of Ljubljana. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ljubljana Tourist Card?
+
The experience starts at Ljubljana Tourist Information Center, Adamic-Lundrovo Nabrezje 2, Ljubljana, 1000, Slovenia. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ljubljana Tourist Card offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ljubljana Tourist Card?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Ljubljana Tourist Card wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Ljubljana Tourist Card if the weather is bad?
+
