About Koper
Koper is Slovenia's main port, a compact Venetian-era town on the Istrian coast just south of the Italian border. Its car-free old town centres on Tito Square, framed by the Gothic-Renaissance Praetorian Palace, the Loggia and the Cathedral of the Assumption with its climbable bell tower.
Cobbled Cevljarska Street leads to Preseren Square, the Da Ponte Fountain and the Muda Gate. Koper is the gateway to the walled seaside town of Piran, the Karst region's Lipica stud farm and Postojna Cave, and the capital, Ljubljana.
