Koper

-Europe.Slovenia.Koper-


An hour’s drive away from the capital city Ljubljana – Koper was our first stop on our day trip to the Slovenian coast. You can expect leisurely strolls through the old town.

Here by cruise ship ? From the Cruise Port it is a 15-minute walk to the main square in Koper. It is a walk up or walking across the road and taking the panaromic elevator up is also possible. The elevator is for free.

 

Tito Square

Has many impressive buildings in the Praetorian Palace, the Cathedral and the Bell Tower next to it. The highest building there is the Bell Tower with 54 metres in height. Paying 3 Euros gains entrance up to the 43m high viewing platform.
