Quick ride by bicycle from Koper to Portorož

Ready for a scenic ride along the Slovenian coast? Start your journey in Koper, a lively old port city famous for its Venetian architecture and relaxed Mediterranean vibes. From there, you’ll follow a mostly paved, dedicated cycle path that winds around bays and through charming villages, with just a short stretch on quiet roads and tracks.

You’ll enjoy gentle ups and downs—ascending about 240 meters and descending a bit more—as you sweep through olive groves and catch sea views all the way. The popular Parenzana cycleway is part of this route, known for connecting old coastal towns on a disused railway line.

Your finish line is Portorož, Slovenia’s answer to the French Riviera, with palm-lined promenades, sandy beaches, and plenty of places to grab a gelato or a seaside coffee. At under 15 km, this ride is perfect for a half-day cruise with lots of photogenic stops. Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit!
