Highlights

  • Meet 300 Lipizzaner horses
  • Catch a classical riding-school show
  • A stud farm running since 1580
  • Karst oak groves, museums and stables

Every Lipizzaner in the world traces back to one place: Lipica, on Slovenia’s windswept Karst plateau.

Founded in 1580, it’s one of the oldest stud farms in Europe — bred for centuries for the Habsburgs and the imperial courts, and now a national cultural monument.

Around 300 horses live here. Famously white, they’re actually born dark and lighten with age — a quirk that always surprises first-timers.

There’s far more than stables: classical riding performances, carriage drives, museums, and the chance to simply meet the horses.

Set among oak groves and dry-stone walls, it pairs perfectly with the nearby caves or coast — and a private visit means time to linger.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exactly what it sounds like: just you and your group — no strangers sharing the van, no fixed departure time. Your driver-guide shapes the day around what you want to see, and you can change your mind whenever you like.

Send us an inquiry with your dates, group size and the kind of things you'd love to see — or hop on a quick call if you'd rather talk it through.

We'll come back with a tailored plan and a price, tweak it together until it's right, and confirm — nothing is paid until you're happy with it.

As early as you can, especially between May and October, when the best dates go quickly. We can often arrange something at short notice too, so it's always worth asking.

There's no per-person ticket here — you pay for the vehicle and the day, not per head. So the more of you there are, the better the value.

What moves the price is how long you're out, how far we travel, and whether you'd like tickets or activities included.

Tell us roughly what you're picturing and we'll send back an honest estimate — no obligation.

A professional local driver-guide, a comfortable vehicle, and all the driving costs — fuel, tolls, parking. Tickets, meals and extras are easy to add; just say the word.

Only after we've agreed on the itinerary and a final price. We'll point you to a secure way to pay, and answer anything you're unsure about first.

Wherever you are — your hotel, your apartment, the airport, or right at the cruise terminal.

Whatever suits you. A half-day runs around six hours, a full day stretches to ten or more, and if one day isn't enough, we'll happily plan several.
