Venice ruled this stretch of Adriatic coast for centuries, and Piran still looks the part. Narrow streets barely wide enough for two people to pass run between tall, shuttered buildings in shades of ochre and pink, opening out unexpectedly onto Tartini Square, an oval piazza that used to be the town's harbour before it was filled in during the 19th century.
The square takes its name from Giuseppe Tartini, a violinist and composer born here in 1692, whose statue now stands where fishing boats once moored. Piran's tip, Punta, juts out into open water with views across the gulf toward Italy on a clear day, and the town's compact size, small enough to cross entirely on foot in twenty minutes, makes it an easy add-on stop for coach groups already exploring the coast.
