Pula is one of those cities where even the most ordinary walk becomes a journey through history<\/strong>. The Romans left an indelible mark here, and their legacy still dominates in almost every corner of the larger city center. One of the most famous monuments is certainly the Arena of Pula, which rightly bears the title of the symbol of the city.<\/p>\n

However, in this article we are not going to focus only on what most people already know well. Read on and find out first hand<\/strong> what to see, where to eat, where to go to the beach and find the ideal accommodation<\/a> – both in Pula and its surroundings!<\/p>\n

Sightseeing<\/h3>\n

A visit to Pula would not be complete without a tour of the city. Here is our route for a walking tour of the city<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Arena \u2192 Tito Park (Pula in miniature) \u2192 Twin Gates (Porta Gemina) \u2192 Zerostrasse \u2192 Hercules Gate (Porta Ercole) \u2192 Portarata Square (Sergian Arch) \u2192 Forum Square (Temple of Augustus, City Hall)<\/em><\/p>\n

To break the monotony of sightseeing, take a little detour and visit the souvenir shops or have a craft beer in one of the bars in the Forum Square.<\/p>\n

End your walk by taking a seat on the waterfront and, as night falls, enjoy the view of Pula’s “Lighting Giants<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for peace and quiet, head to Veruda, or as the locals call it: Fratarski island<\/a>. We hear that they gather there at weekends for barbecues (but don’t tell them we told you so \ud83d\ude0a).<\/div>\n

Events<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On top of the numerous cafes and clubs that are classic places to meet and have fun, Pula also has 2 iconic stages<\/strong> that host numerous musical events. The Pula Arena<\/a> has been converted into a concert venue and every summer numerous local and international musicians perform under the starry sky. Another venue where concerts are held is the former quarry Cave Romane<\/a> (on the way to Pje\u0161\u010dana Uvala).<\/p>\n
