An 8-day tour for your group: Ljubljana, the Slovenian coast and Piran, then Trieste and Miramare Castle on the Adriatic.
This 8-day tour brings together two faces of the northern Adriatic, just a few kilometres apart. Your group first explores Ljubljana, a small, green and largely car-free capital, with its Triple Bridge, the colonnaded market designed by architect Jože Plečnik and the castle overlooking the old town. On Slovenia’s short coastline, Piran spreads its Venetian-style lanes around Tartini Square, facing the sea. Just across the border, Trieste offers the vast Piazza Unità d’Italia, open to the gulf, and the white Miramare Castle, built for Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg. Overnight stops in Bavaria on the way out and back make the journey comfortable for everyone.
