Pula is situated at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula and is the area's largest city. Located beneath seven hills and with views of the Adriatic, Pula's unspoiled natural surroundings are magical. Known for its mild climate and tame, beautiful sea, Pula also has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing and shipbuilding. It is also home to many ancient Roman buildings, including the well-preserved, magnificent amphitheater.

It's a 20 minute walk from the bus stop, I would recommend that you buy a pair of shoes for walking into the sea as its all pebbles almost ever beach, you don't have to jump of the top lots of lower places also you can swim into the caves

I love this small and peaceful place with very beautiful limestone river bed. It is especialy nice in summer when you can also bathe in the turquoise natural river pools. There is a nice walking/cycling trail passing by connecting it to Hum, Buzet and other Istrian villages. The Konoba Kotlić just by the river bridge offers a delicious home grown food.

Welcome to Aquarium Pula, where in a unique way the richness of the Adriatic is combined with the centennial military history of Pula. The Aquarium is situated within the 130-year-old fort “Verudela”, once part of the powerful defence complex “Fortress Pula” built during the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy. The historical fort is nowadays inhabited by hundreds of fish species from the northern and the southern portions of the Adriatic and several tropical marine and fresh water species, as well as fish from Croatian lakes and rivers. Meet our inhabitants in rooms, hallways, tunnels and the moat of the once mighty fort and discover secrets of the aquatic environment!
Would definitely recommend visiting here if you have kids or any interest in sea life. This aquarium is huge over multiple floors with some amazing sea life to see. They have many amazing tanks with all kinds of fish and reptiles, a nursery and even a rehabilitation centre for injured sea life to heal before they are released back into the ocean. All the signs and information are translated into English too, so easily able to understand and learn. On the top floor they also have an outdoor area perfect for having a bite to eat with an amazing view of the Adriatic Sea. We were really lucky and had the place to ourselves (mostly likely because all the surrounding hotels and campsites are closed during this season) but still managed to spend over 2 hours roaming around taking in this incredible aquarium.
