Sights
Loggia Palace
A Venetian Gothic arcaded building facing the Praetorian Palace across Tito Square.
- The cruise berth is about 200 m from the old town, so no shuttle is needed for Koper itself.
- Slovenia uses the euro and is in the Schengen area.
- The old town is small: an hour covers the main square. Most passengers also take a trip to Piran, Postojna Cave, the Škocjan Caves or Ljubljana.
- Koper gets around 60 to 80 cruise calls a year, so the town rarely feels crowded.
