Koper is a medieval port city on the Adriatic coast of Slovenia. There is distinct Mediterranean feel in the city, with a wonderfully mild climate, spacious cobblestoned squares, narrow streets and elegant architecture. Its picturesque old town spreads around the main square Titov Trg, and is surrounded by Venetian-influenced beauties such as a Gothic loggia and the 13th century Praetorian Palace.

Relax by the Da Ponte Fountain, which is reminiscent of the famous Rialto Bridge in Venice. Visit the beautiful 12th-century Cathedral of the Assumption with its tall bell tower that offers spectacular views of the bay. There are exciting caves to explore, many excellent wine cellars and vineyards to visit, or enjoy great bird watching with BirdLife Slovenia or local specialties in quaint ‘tourist farms’ located in nearby villages.
