2. Piran is one of the oldest and most beautiful Slovene towns with rich history and culture. Almost 500 years lasting Venetian influence has given this town an inimitable charm. Its culture heritage is not at home only in museums since the architectural and artistic pearls, which decorate the everyday life of the local people, can be found at every corner. Giuseppe Tartini, the world famous composer and violinist, who was born and raised in Piran, had a great impact on the town. Today, his bronze statue adorns the town’s main square together with Tartini’s house where visitors can admire one of his violins. The Tartini Square is surrounded by majestic buildings, such as the richly decorated Municipal Palace, Tartini Theatre, Maritime Museum, Aquarium, Marine Biological Station, Baroque House and Apollonio Palace. On the hill above the town is the biggest and most important church, the Church of Saint George, which offers a wonderful view. Piran’s town wall, narrow streets, fishermen’s nets, compact houses that rise up the slope and beautiful sea will give you the feeling of walking through a painting. On this panoramic trip along the Slovene coast you will also visit the coastal towns of Portorož, Izola and Koper, where a tourist guide will tell you about the main attractions, historical facts and local tradition.

• 5Great Excursion to Slovenia

  We were picked up at the industrial port in Trieste. Van was nice and large enough. We had to stop to pick up some other guests then visited Koper. Not a whole lot there-town square with some older buildings. Then we were driven to Piran-a seaside Slovenian town. Included in our ticket was a tasting of wine and some bread, fish, and cheese. Our guide told us interesting I information about the area and gave us clear instructions to meet after a guided tour. We climbed high up to the church for an amazing view. We changed our number from 15 to 12 and notified far in advance, but tour company wouldn’t change our Price. People were added to our excursion so we didn’t have extra room or anything. So if you have any changes, I guess I’d cancel and rebook to get the number of people and correct price.

• 5Only as fast as your slowest person!

  Great views, great guide in Nikka! Lots of information given. Here's the issues that need addressing. 13 people all arrive ON-TIME! 2 people arrive 19 minutes late and we had to wait for them!!! So wrong to waste my time because 2 individuals could care less and not respect our time. LEAVE THEM AND GO! Secondly, it's a tour of old Koper, Piran and Trieste. NOW we have to walk slowly because 1 elderly person is in a 4 wheel scooter and has to go super slow because of uneven pavers, sidewalks, etc... SO WRONG! The ship, NCL GEM, has mobility tours and Viator should either have the option or let these Mobility Challenged individuals know it is probably not for them. Again, loved the tour but we lost time from the slowest people...

• 5Really enjoyable tour

  There were just 4 of us on this tour. We had a great tour guide who gave us a running commentary the whole trip. Even though it rained hard all day, we had a great trip. Loved Piran.

About Trieste

Trieste is an Adriatic port on Italy's border with Slovenia, a city of Habsburg-era palaces, old coffeehouses and a great square that opens onto the sea.

Trieste was the Roman town of Tergeste and became the main seaport of the Habsburg empire after it was declared a free port in 1719. Its grand centre dates from that period: Piazza Unità d'Italia, a vast square of palaces with one side open to the water, the Canal Grande, a short canal lined with cafés and a church, and the grid of the Borgo Teresiano. Above the old town, the cathedral of San Giusto and a castle crown a hill, with a Roman theatre below.

Top-ranked sights in Trieste: Piazza Unità d'Italia (Piazza Grande), Miramare Castle (Castello di Miramare).
