TARTINI ROUTE

The 10 wonders

Surrounding the Tartini-themed itineraries between Piran and Padua there are other places, often famous around the world, which are fascinating for their beauty and interest including excursions, which we suggest you do not miss!

Following the first two routes, you pass natural and artistic wonders that we strongly recommend you visit and that include the area's significant local beauty spots, its nature and the creations of European civilization. Ancient and powerful nature is on show at the Sečovlje salt pans, the Strunjan cliffs, the Postojna caves, the lagoon of Marano and Grado and is accompanied by monuments such as the Basilica of San Marco in Venice, the Roman excavations and the Basilica of Aquileia and the Three Bridges in the historic centre of Ljubljana. But other niches of history and art are within your reach in the lands of Tartini such as the medieval walls of Piran, the Guarneriana Library of San Daniele del Friuli or the Scrovegni Chapel painted by Giotto in Padua.

This itinerary is a travel proposal that will multiply your musical emotions with the discovery of the vast beauty of the northern Adriatic and its wonders!
