4 days in Slovenian Istria Itinerary

Considered one of the prettiest cities on the country's coast, Piran owes much of its development to salt.

Visiting Scuba & Snorkeling and Škocjanski Zatok Nature Reserve will get you outdoors. The adventure continues: don't miss a visit to Walls of Piran, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Koper Cathedral and Bell Tower, admire the landmark architecture of Praetorian Palace, and get curious at Magical World of Shells Museum.

Ljubljana to Piran is an approximately 1.5-hour car ride. You can also take a bus; or do a combination of train and bus. Plan for a bit warmer nights when traveling from Ljubljana in August since evenings lows in Piran dip to 20°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 19th (Wed) to allow time to drive back home.
