Piran Express Walking Tour

Would you like to explore Piran with someone that finished high school in Piran, has worked here for years as a front office clerk and has been a local guide for more than ten years now? With a person who knows how to make a bridge between the local reality and the curious traveler? Then you are in the right place! The town of Piran has the reputation of being the most beautiful on the Slovenian coast. The medieval labyrinth of streets, squares, churches and city walls shows the rich history of the town, which for more than five centuries has been a part of Serenissima, the Republic of Venice. There are some extraordinary gems to be found during the walking tour: - the picturesque main Tartini square - the baroque Franciscan church with remains of Saint Francis - the panoramic view of the Gulf of Trieste - the old Jewish square A very interesting fact: a picture of Piran is on the cover of the book Lonely Planet - Best in Travel 2022!!

During the guided tour of Piran I explain the rich history of the town and tell many interesting stories that have accumulated here over the years. We are going to take a walk and discover Piran's best points: - Tartini square, dedicated to the "ba-rock star" Giuseppe Tartini - the Franciscan church and the nearby cloister - the church of St. George - the Jewish square - the old main square with its water cistern - the tip of the peninsula where both Italy and Croatia can be seen - the promenade - the small fisherman port The walking tour can be expanded for about half an hour (with no additional costs) and we can also take a walk till the medieval town walls above the town. The picture on the book Lonely Planet Best in Travel 2022 has been taken from these town walls.
