Pula, Croatia

Pula—on the Aegean Sea in the Croatian region of Istria—is famous for its Roman amphitheater, ancient history, and fresh seafood. This city has been occupied by the Greeks, Romans, and Austro-Hungarian Empire; this complex blend of influences gives the city a unique culture and atmosphere.

Though it's now one of the jewels of Croatia’s northernmost Istria region, Pula is, in many ways, Italian in sensibility. Less than two hours by car from Trieste, this city was once Roman, and visiting its exceptionally well-preserved amphitheater, the Pula Arena; the triumphal Arch of the Sergii; and the Temple of Augustus are top things to do in Pula. For those in search of unspoiled beaches and waterfront scenery, the nearby islands of Brijuni National Park and the peninsula of Kamenjak National Park offer the opportunity for a nature escape.

Pula’s Old Town is mostly pedestrianized, and it’s compact enough to be readily walkable. The city is also well-served by numerous bus lines, which connect to outlying areas including the Verudela peninsula and suburban enclaves. The Pula ferry port connects the city to other Croatian destinations—and even to Venice. Taxis are available, but a rental car is recommended if you plan to explore more of Istria.  Like the rest of coastal Croatia, Pula’s high season is from June to August, and for good reason. The average summer high is 84°F (29°C), and Pula enjoys 300 hours of sunshine in July. It’s when the festival calendar heats up (including events like Days of Antiquity) and when its glittering Adriatic beaches and islands offer ideal splashing conditions. However, you can also expect good weather in May and September, as well as cheaper rates and fewer crowds.

Croatia is one of the most famous and known European countries for your summer vacation. Most of the visitors fell in love with its coast and sea, are thrilled about the food and inspired by its cultural and natural heritage. Almost 10% of Croatia is made up of 11 nature parks, eight national parks and two nature reserves.

Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is Croatia’s biggest National Park and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, was the most popular with 1.3 million visits, almost half of the total number.
