Lipica Stud Farm
Kobilarna Lipica
A Habsburg royal stud farm founded in 1580, the birthplace of the white Lipizzaner horses of the Vienna Spanish Riding School.
The stud farm lies in Slovenia, about 15 kilometers from Trieste. Guided tours cover the stables, the carriage museum, and the pastures where herds of white horses gallop across the karst grassland. On certain days there are classical riding displays and training demonstrations, so check the schedule in advance. Basic admission costs about 25 euros, and tickets that include a performance cost more. It can be reached by car and combined with the Škocjan Caves on the same day.
Opening hours
About 09:00–17:00 (shorter hours in winter)
