Koper Old Town

Koper / Capodistria

The Venetian-style old town of Slovenia's largest port city, centered on the Praetorian Palace and the cathedral bell tower on Titov Square.

The old town sits on a hill that was once an island. Titov Square is considered one of the most beautiful squares in Slovenia. It features the Venetian Gothic Praetorian Palace, arcaded cafés, and the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin. You can climb the cathedral bell tower (about 200 steps) for views over the harbor and the bay. Koper is about 17 km from Piran, roughly 30 minutes by bus, and is a common cruise ship stop.
