Bus Hire in Koper, Slovenia

Slovenia has just 47 kilometres of coastline, the shortest of any country with a working seaport, and almost all its serious maritime trade funnels through Koper. Container ships and, increasingly, cruise liners dock here on a coast otherwise given over to smaller tourist towns, giving Koper a distinctly working-port character that sets it apart from neighbouring Piran.

That industrial identity sits right beside a genuinely well-preserved Venetian old town, though, centred on Titov trg, a square lined with Gothic and Renaissance buildings including a cathedral with a freestanding bell tower open to visitors willing to climb it. For coach groups arriving by cruise ship, Koper often functions as the gateway to the rest of the Slovenian coast and the Ljubljana day-trip circuit beyond it, rather than a final destination in its own right.
