Pula, a city located on the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula in Croatia, is a perfect destination for history and culture enthusiasts. The city is famous for its well-preserved Roman amphitheater, the Pula Arena, which hosts various concerts and events throughout the year. Visitors can also explore the ancient Forum, Temple of Augustus, and Triumphal Arch of the Sergii. Besides, Pula boasts stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Foodies will enjoy the local cuisine, featuring fresh seafood and traditional Istrian dishes.
What the town lacks in terms of attractive waterfront it more than makes up for in terms of antiquities. The original Roman Forum remains the major meeting point with cafés offering outdoor tables. Pula’s impressive Roman amphitheatre, or Arena, hosts events all summer. The city’s sprawling waterfront includes a port handling close to one million tons of cargo every year, a marina for yachters, a forested stretch of beach with a promenade and, outside the centre, resorts, built in the 1960s and 1970s in Verudela and neighbouring Medulin.
