Description

This two-hour stroll reveals Koper’s rich layers of Venetian influence alongside everyday local life. Your walk starts at Tito Square, the main square bordered by the Praetorian Palace and the Cathedral of the Assumption.

From there, travel down Cobbler Street, once home to medieval shoemakers whose craft shaped the area. Rest briefly at Prešeren Square before reaching the Muda Gates, the last surviving entrance to the old fortified town, reflecting centuries of trade and defense.

At Carpaccio Square, learn about Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio’s impact on the city’s cultural heritage. Along the route, sample local flavors such as warm burek and refreshing ice cream, enjoyed by residents between daily tasks and social moments.
