Understand
Ruled by Venice for five centuries, an Italian influence is clearly visible in the coastal towns of this picturesque area.
Talk
Italian is a second language in many coastal towns and is therefore widely understood.

Stay safe
With the exception of Koper, Sezana and Nova Gorica all of the settlements are very small and crime is virtually non-existent. In all parts crime is low when compared to all neighbouring countries. Most young people will speak very good English and coastal areas are usually bilingual (Slovene and Italian).
