How to Get to Pula
All transfers depart from Brnik Airport — officially Jože Pučnik Airport (IATA: LJU), operated by Fraport Slovenia.
Why Pula?
Standing in Pula's Arena — one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world — you can almost hear the gladiators. Built in the 1st century AD, it still hosts concerts and film festivals today. It's as impressive as Rome's Colosseum, but without the crowds.
Beyond the ancient history, Pula is a gateway to some of the best beaches in Croatia. Cape Kamenjak, at the very southern tip of Istria, is a nature reserve with hidden bays, dramatic cliffs, and water so clear it doesn't look real.
Pula is more local, more lived-in than Rovinj or Porec. It has a working port, a buzzing market, and restaurants where you eat alongside locals rather than tourists.
