7 days in Piran Itinerary

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

Appreciate the collections at Sergej Mašera Maritime Museum and Mediadom Pyrhani. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Štanjel Castle and Piran Minorite Monastery. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Piran: Gewerkenegg Castle (in Idrija), Military Museum Tabor (in Lokev) and Outdoor Museum Kolovrat (muzej na prostem) (in Volče). And it doesn't end there: kick back and relax at Strunjan Nature Reserve, step into the grandiose world of Socerb Castle, make a trip to Šmartno, and view the masterpieces at Nika's Tiny House.
