Arriving in Koper

Unless you are driving, you will arrive in Koper by train or by bus. Both the bus and train station are in the same place, outside of the city centre a fair old walk from Old Town. As railway stations go Koper’s is a pleasant enough place, with amazingly clean toilets. There is an ATM, left luggage lockers, and a booth selling local bus tickets. You will need one of these (they cost €0.42) to use one of the local buses to get into town: take bus No. 1 or No. 2 to Pristaniska ulica. Buses depart every ten minutes or so and the journey takes no more than five minutes. There are also buses for Izola, Portoroz and Piran. The one-way fare to Izola is €1.80. Pay the driver as you board.

As for transpoprt back to Ljubljana, you will have the same two options: bus or train. There are more busses per day than trains, but the train is cheaper (€9.70 as opposed to €10.40 on the bus) and as most locals appear to take the bus (which can, depending on traffic, be a bit quicker) you often have a compartment on the train to yourself. Our recommendation is to take the train: it is a nicer experience.
