Near the grandiose Praetorian Palace on Tito Square, stop at a café where locals have been gathering for coffee and conversation since the 1800s. After fueling up, you will be ready to visit landmarks such as the 12th-century Cathedral of Mary's Assumption, home to stunning artworks including a 15th-century sarcophagus of Koper's patron saint. Follow the pedestrian-only Čevljarska Street through the atmospheric city center and its beautifully preserved architectural treasures, and then sample locally made desserts as you gaze out on the glimmering Adriatic.
