Pula, a city that has existed for three thousand years, is situated in the south of the Istrian peninsula. The town has beautiful beaches spread over nearly one hundred miles of beautiful and indented coastline. The city has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism. If you visit Pula, you will hear whispers about a story of mythical Argonauts, Romans, Venetians, Franks and the time of the Austrian and Hungarian Empire. The city-museum will present you with its buildings and monuments preserved from bygone times: the Arch of the Sergi, Temple of Augustus, Hercules door... In Pula you will enjoy excellent restaurants, and on the most beautiful stage in the world, in the Arena under the stars, during the summer you can listen to some of the most famous names from the world of music.

nice
I spent a week in Pula and it was a pleasant one. The town is quiet, especially on Sunday. The town has great Roman ruins. The Arena is magnificent and it is well preserved, and used for concerts, movies and other programs. If you go to Pula, get a city bus pass and tour the area. Beaches are mostly stone but the water is great. People are friendly and there are many places to visit round the town.

Small town in Croatia
Pula is a small town in Croatia but it has a very special attraction - a well preserved Roman amphitheater similar to the one in Rome. It is 2000 years old. You can go to the area underneathe the theater and see the real basement, authentic jars etc. It is more accessible that the one in Rome, worth the stop!

Breathtaking Pula
Marvellous history, breathtaking views. The arena is magnificent though we couldn't go in. There is such a lot of the arena standing and it is still used for major concerts. Pula is very beautiful, the view of the buildings from the harbour, the old buildings is fantastic. There are more historic buildings to investigate, roman ruins and lovely little cafes
