Description

This interactive online experience will take you to the Slovenian city of Piran in real-time, allowing you to explore its beautiful cultural and historical sites from the comfort of your own home. 

We will begin our virtual walk at the Piran bus station, where we will reach Tartini Square. We will approach this monument to listen to Tartini's music, get to know his most important work through a legend, and find out the ideas and objects contained in the house where he was born. We will then take a short tour of the Minorite Monastery and the Church of St. Francis from the outside and admire the beautiful facades. Walking past the church of Marija Snežna and Marija Tolažnica, we will arrive at the mighty complex of St. George, which will open to us a panoramic view of the whole city! 

Moving on, we will examine the preserved piece of the erstwhile city walls that emphasized the medieval image of Piran; some of the former city gates have also been preserved, and we can spot them. Finally, we will end the tour at the lovely Punta Lighthouse and say our goodbyes. 

Your local tour guide will enrich your tour with a stock of local stories, legends, and history and make your experience unforgettable. You will get to know the history of Piran's development to the present day (with special attention to the saltworks), learn about all the palaces and delve into the life of the locals. But that's not all: your guide will also weave three surprises throughout the described experience, which will remain a secret for now. Want to find out? Join this virtual walking tour now!
