Piran
From the So
c
a Valley, it's a 2-hour drive
towards the Istrian Coast, connecting with
the main highway heading south. En
route, stop at the
S
kocjan Caves, which are
a scintillating 2-hour diversion. In Piran,
take your time exploring the cobblestone
streets and back alleys, cooling yourself in
the refreshing waters of the Adriatic before
settling in for an evening of seafood at
Neptun. If you feel you're up for a party,
head over to the nearby resort town of Por-
toroz where you'll find casinos, nightclubs,
and merry-making crowds.

Ljubljana
The highway leads directly from Piran to
the capital; set out after an early-morning
swim. Ljubljana has great charm and can
be extensively explored on foot or bicycle.
Head up to the castle for a good look at
the layout of city, then explore Old Town,
where you'll find plenty of stunning
restaurants. In the afternoon, prioritize
the art museums, but be sure to grab a
seat at one of the lively cafe-bars lining
the Ljubljanica River for sundowners. In
summer, try to catch a festival perform-
ance at the
Kri
z
anke Summer Theater,
perhaps after an early dinner at AS. If you
have the energy, prepare for a night of
clubbing, or try to visit a selection of the
city's best watering holes.
