We found the museum fascinating. The receptionist was extremely helpful with how to navigate around the museum. The iPad added a lot of historical context to the visit. Everything is clearly marked and well displayed.

What was once part of the harbour is now a beautiful town square full of shiny white marble. At the centre stands the statue of Giuseppe Tartini - the famous violinist, bon in Piran. The square serves as the mid point between the harbour below and the church above. A great place for a quiet beverage at any time of the day.

The walk uphill is absolutely worth it. Walking on this historic segment of the city wall not only imparts a sense of history, but it also provides great views of the historic town. Reasonably priced and a must for visitors. By walking a little farther uphill from the walls, we found a beautiful stone-paved walkway back down into town. The little cafe by the entrance has restrooms, and provided a nice place to stop for beverages after our tour of the walls.
