Beautiful little town, easy to get to, considerably different than inland Slovenia

Not much to do
In a nutshell
Go and be pleasantly surprised!
24 Reviews Above the compact town centre reigns the St. George Cathedral, which gives the city its special character. It is composed of three distinct constructions laid out in a row. From east to west they are: the church, the belltower and the baptistery. The Cathedral was probably built in the 12th Century,...
37 Reviews This wide oval square is the center of the city, with the best buildings around it, and with the other attractions at short distance in all directions. Its placed was formerly occupied by the port, but the bad smells that affected town hall, built in 1872, and sanitary reasons, justified that, in...
14 Reviews The oldest building in town is this venetian house, in Tartiniev square. dating from the 15Th century. There's a relief under the second floor windows, that refer to some loving adventures of the owner, not very well accepted by the population. Well, that was his problem, his house was nice (and...
11 Reviews walking through the narrow streets of piran is the best way to explore this small midd-ages town. although it is possible to rent bicycle for couples or foursome in tartiny square, i prefered to walk around. by walking in piran it's easy to see some unique buildings and art decorations on it. you'll...
6 Reviews Unfortunately I could not go into the church when I have been there due to restauration works.The church is located on the far southern end of the town,close to the sea.On the tower there is also a lighthouse.

2 Reviews Our guidebook advised to avoid the overpriced seafood restaurants along the waterfront, plus most of them seemed to be underwater so we asked at our hotel where we could get Slovene or Serbian food and one of the places he recommended was Fontana so we headed out in the rain for dinner there,...
2 Reviews well i have to say i had much fun in Piran Slovenia. Small ancient town with lots of hidden small streets and quite a huge tourist offer. Cafe Teater is just one of many local pubs but it's located on the best location in the city. I did not know till recently that the owner is renting appartments....
3 Reviews Trieste is the usual Italian getaway city from which people reach coastal slovenia. From the bus station opposite the train station there are at least 2 buses a day in each direction. Tickets are 1000 sit. Trieste to Piran 11.00 - 12.35 17.00 - 18.35 Piran to Trieste 13.25 - 15.00 19.55 - 20.30
5 Reviews If you want to travel between Piran and Portoroz or Lucija then this is very wasy and cheap. There is a little white bus running 3-4 times every hour that costs a euro if you buy the ticket onboard and about half that price if you buy the ticket in advance at the little newspaper stands. Don´t...
1 Review Slovenia (and even the smallest villages like Piran) have what Austria could only dream about: Grocery stores and supermarkets open 24/7 all night long and even open on Sundays. One such example is "Noc in Dan". Here you can even still get warm food and it is only slightly more expensive than...
2 Reviews Giuseppe Tartini was born on 8 April 1692 in Piran and died on February 26, 1770 in Padua, Italy, where he spent most of his life. He was a famous violinist and composer, and his statue is now placed right in the middle of Tartini square, the most impressive square in town. In his life he composed...
2 Reviews Years ago Piran was small fishermen town and it was the main occupation of its citizens. Little by little, the whole place was turned into one of the most important tourists resorts of Slovenia. Only a few profesional fishermen left in town now, however, many of those who have been retired still can...
2 Reviews Parking in the centre of the town is payable. There is a gate at the entrance, where you must pay at departing from Piran. You can park your car at the parking place Fornace at the entrance to Piran. Then you can walk to the center or take the free minibus.
1 Review After Yugoslavia is a marvellous book to either take with you or to read before you go. It offers impartial information on the regions history, both recent and past, as well as recounting the authors journey. It's written by Zoe Bran and published by Lonely Planet. Easily the best travel book I've...
2 Reviews trieste in italy is not far from piran and you can drive there easily or go by ferry from piran. trieste is an italian town with a lot of austrian influence in it´s architecture as it was part of the austrian/hungarian empire for many years. it´s main square is located right by the sea dn that makes...
2 Reviews taking a walk down to portoroz is a nice option when in piran. the town is just 2 kilometersd away from piran and you can walk along the sea on walking paths all the way to portoroz. portoroz is a modern style holiday resort and does in my opinion not have the charm piran does, but if you need to do...
5 Reviews It was just a wee bit too cold for swimming while we were there but around the tip of the peninsula near St. Klements is a bathing area, unfortunately it's concrete and not sand. We also saw some folks suiting up to go scuba diving, Piran is one of the coast's best spots for diving. I think if it's...
1 Review We have a bocce ball set at home and sometimes play in the backyard. So it was funny to see an actual bocce ball court. These folks look to take this sport seriously. Nearby this was a basketball court with some intense games going on - it's no surprise nowadays to see hoops being played...
7 Reviews This is the main square in Piran. It was named after the violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) who was born in this town. Long ago it was a harbour for fishing boats. In 1894 it was filled in because of bad smell, filth and for health and sanitary reasons. Tartini Square is...
2 Reviews On my second visit to Piran I had a stroll to the Punta lighthouse. It is located on the tip of the Piran peninsula. Beyond the lighthouse there is a church formerly consacrated to Saint Clement. In the 17th century it was renamed as Our Lady of Health because of the plague that propagated...

Traveling from Pula to Verona, on October 1st 2002, I stoped for two hours in Piran to make a few pics. Unfortunatelly it was a rainy day with poor light conditions. In August 2003, when spending my...
One of the most livable places in Europe.
Piran is in my opinion the most attractive coastal town in Slovenia and this is a place i could live in permanently. It´s an old venetian style town with an old city center and a lively harbour. Piran...
PIRAN - the pearl of Slovenian Coast
Even though Piran is a coastal town , I've never been there in the summer. I like to visit Piran on foggy winter days in Ljubljana. Or in autumn when in Ljubljana it can be pretty cold but in Piran......
