Things to do in  Pula

Though it's now one of the jewels of Croatia’s northernmost Istria region, Pula is, in many ways, Italian in sensibility. Less than two hours by car from Trieste, this city was once Roman, and visiting its exceptionally well-preserved amphitheater, the Pula Arena; the triumphal Arch of the Sergii; and the Temple of Augustus are top things to do in Pula. For those in search of unspoiled beaches and waterfront scenery, the nearby islands of Brijuni National Park and the peninsula of Kamenjak National Park offer the opportunity for a nature escape.
