Visit to Pula Pula, where we will be based, is a coastal resort that owes much of its beauty to the Romans. It is full of Roman ruins such as a well preserved amphitheatre, arch of triumph and a temple in the forum. Pula is a city where old meets new. It has a modern town centre as well as old cobbled streets with Venetian style buildings. As Pula is located next to the sea, there are often refreshing breezes that cool the town.

Amphitheatre We will visit the famous Roman Amphitheatre in Pula! Known as a more complete version of the Colosseum, it is a must see for all visiting the area.
