Pula functions as a living, open-air history book. Its crown jewel is the Arena, the world's sixth-largest Roman amphitheater, which once seated 23,000 spectators and now hosts prestigious film festivals and concerts. At the city's heart lies the Forum, the main square home to the exceptionally well-preserved Temple of Augustus. For centuries, Pula served as the Austro-Hungarian Empire's primary naval port, a legacy seen in its extensive fortress network and naval cemetery. The city presents a compelling mix of Roman ruins, Austrian architecture, and a modern industrial port. The surrounding coastline is famed for its pine forests and clear waters, particularly at the nearby Cape Kamenjak. The Brijuni Islands, Tito's former summer residence, are just a short boat ride away, featuring a safari park and diverse archaeological sites. The 2024-2025 concert season at Arena Pula expanded significantly with Sting, Tom Jones and Joe Bonamassa joining the traditional July Pula Film Festival. Tickets often sell out months in advance.

Pula is an open history book of the Roman era. Start your day at the monumental Amphitheater and then walk to the ancient Forum with the Temple of Augustus. After a quick stop at the Arch of the Sergii, immerse yourself in the bustle of the Art Nouveau market hall. The afternoon offers Istrian culinary delights, a climb to the fortress for the best overview, and a mysterious tour through the underground Zerostrasse tunnel system.
Morning finds us in the Arena's underground passages, safe from the rain. At noon, the Archaeological Museum provides a dry cultural escape. In the afternoon, we retreat to the cafes of the Forum to watch the rain on the ancient stones. We end the day inside the Kastel fortress, exploring the indoor museum exhibits while staying warm and dry.
A winter morning at the Arena is peaceful, free from summer crowds. At noon, we warm up in the old town museums if the Bora wind picks up. In the afternoon, we enjoy the low sun at the Forum with a hot drink. For the early sunset, we climb to the Kastel fortress to witness the golden light over the Adriatic Sea.
Located in Valkane bay, this popular pebble and rock beach elegantly combines nature-oriented swimming with dedicated naturist sections.
