A proliferation of Roman architecture makes Pula stand out amongst many other idyllic Croatian coastal cities. Beachside cafes and aromatic pine groves await your discovery, alongside the protected Cape Kamenjak and several nature parks.
What to eat on your holiday in Pula
For top seafood, head to family-run Konoba Batelina in Banjole village, three kilometres from Pula. The owner fishes for and cooks the dishes himself, and they are some of the most delicious you'll find in Croatia.
Medeja is different by far; inland and without ocean views, its Croatian dishes are equally excellent. Try creamy pasta with truffles and bacon, and supreme desserts that will leave you planning your return. Vodnjanka is the real deal: Istrian cuisine served up in nearby Vitezica.
Visit the world's oldest working shipyard
The world's oldest working docks are right here in Pula. An impressive lighting display by Dean Skira sets them off at night with over sixteen thousand colour schemes, changing every quarter hour. Uljanik Shipyard dates from the 19th century and its one of the most atmospheric spots in the city.
Make your way to the Temple of Augustus, which remained a meeting place in the city until medieval times. An assemblage of buildings on this site dates from 2 BCE and included a Forum, grain warehouse and several temples. Have a gander at the miniature Museum of Roman sculpture here, which hosts occasional temporary shows.
Upbeat festivals
Pula Film Festival has been running almost as long as film has been around. Every July, the town's buildings are transformed into venues for screenings of Croatia's thriving independent film industry. Some international films are also shown in atmospheric locations like the Roman Amphitheatre, making the festival a completely unique and magical experience.
Outlook Festival meanwhile, is Europe's largest dance music festival and takes place just outside Pula every September. The reverberations rock venues like Christo Fort in nearby Stinjan and the Arena Roman amphitheatre. Booking holiday accommodation in the town will let you enjoy it in a more comfortable setting than the campsite.
