A holiday in Portorož and Piran allows you to explore the Slovenian coastline in a special way, while their geographical location allows you to observe the neighbouring countries of Italy and Croatia from different angles.
We've put together a guide to the must-see viewpoints in Piran and Portorož!
The walls of Piran
The Walls of Piran are the oldest part of Piran and, according to many, offer the most beautiful view far and wide. As you walk along the Piran walls, the views gradually expand – first over the densely populated medieval rooftops, then over the bustling harbor, and finally over the open Adriatic Sea.
The panoramic view from the walls thus showcases not only the picturesque town but also offers a stunning view of the Croatian and Italian coasts. A walk along these centuries-old walls is an experience that attracts romantics, historians, and the best panoramic photographers every year.
📍 Starting point for the ascent to the walls: Ulica IX. korpusa, Piran
The chatedral and bell tower of St. George
The Church of St. George, with its impressive bell tower, is considered one of the most popular landmarks in Piran.
From the viewpoint in front of the church, you can admire Piran's terracotta roofs, narrow streets, and the vast Adriatic Sea. If you climb the bell tower, an even more stunning view awaits you at the top, overlooking Croatian Istria and the Gulf of Trieste. Pro tip: we recommend the climb at sunset ... and don’t forget your camera! 😉📸
📍 Adamičeva Street, Piran
Terrace of Hotel Piran
The Terrace of Hotel Piran, also known as Heavenly Terrace 99, is famous for its stunning views of the sea and the Piran Punto. Situated right by the sea, the terrace offers guests a feeling of literally floating above the water.
The panoramic view stretches across the Piran Bay, and on calm, clear evenings, the lights of distant Italian coastal towns can be seen on the horizon, creating a magical atmosphere perfect for a romantic evening with a signature cocktail. 🌅
📍 Stjenkova Street 1, Piran
Barbara Piran Beach Hotel
The highlight of Hotel Barbara is the bar on its terrace, offering a stunning panoramic view of the sea.
The terrace is positioned so that your view extends towards the horizon, where the sky merges with the blue of the Adriatic Sea. Here, you can enjoy a morning coffee ☕ with the first rays of sunshine or an evening cocktail 🍹 accompanied by a picturesque sunset.
